A CONTRAST.

He So. on q board at the baseball game
He knew every players Christian name,
And, any one scored a run,
He danced, and yelled, and grew red in tho face,
And shouted, and tossed his hat
For he, as you have guessed, was a base
Ball crank-and they act like that.
He sat In a cushioned broad-aisle pew
In a cool and quiet church,
And squrmcd as you would perhaps, II you
We're a Schooboy and feared the birch.
He heaved sigh when the minister said
"Amen,' and he grabbed his hat,
For he mana male bped-
And in church they act like that.

home from college who astOnshed his father the other
morning by speaking of the new athenyum that was
building on the college grounds. "a new whstf'
asked the father, who is himself lively member Of
the class OF $50.
"a new athenyum," repeated the youth.
II YOU mean atheneum, why don't you say So" said
the father testify.
But the Romans probably said athenyum.'
"You haven't any notion what the Romans probably
said And if the Romans said athenyum that's no
reason why yOu should do SO outside OF the classroom
You might as well in ordinary conversation, say Paree
because the French pronounce Paris so. Keep your
Roman pronuncnton a. yOu call it, for college. The
English method quite good enough for ordinary use.
Indeed. il will never be sapplanted by the Roman
method out OF the colleges"
