shortly, having barely recovered from
bis embarrassment. 'Aeneas promised
Dido that she should be a sister to him,
and the record shows that Aeneas al

"How do you pronounce Popacato-
pill?" asked the captain of the football
team, noticing that the professors
nervousness made long words rather
difficult for him to enunciate

glance at his watch.
'Much obliged, sir" returned the cap
tain Of the football team, ''but meant
what do you consider the proper pro-
nunciation Of the word?''
"Worcesters," said the professor.
"And what is that?" queried the cap
tain, persistently.
"Really, my dear SIR" demonstrated
the professor. "You should remember
that this is not primary class. You
ought to have known before entering
college that that is in this instance q
pronoun."
At this the student who aspired to be
Valedietorian laughed He and the cap
tain of the football team did not get on
gerry well together, and it refreshed his
weary spirit to hear the athletic saluta-
| torian taken down a few dozen pegs.
| The captain relapsed into moody 81
lence which BODIED i'll for the captain Of
the Red Bank University football team,
against whom the Kennebunlzport play
ers were to contend that afternoon, and
the professor winked slyly at the jani-
tor of the building who happened to be
standing in the doorway at the moment.
He made at the same time a memoran-

animation day came around that the
persistent football player was a good

moments hesitation, which to the foot
ball captain was an indication that the
Camden students question had ratified
him, but which the fourth valedictor-
ian's point of view merely showed that
the professor was a man who thought
twice before he spoke once.

swimmer shouted in triumphant de.
rision at the several hundred people on
the wharf who had gathered to wit
ness the strange performance.
His song of success was quickly cut
short, for as soon as the lazy shark
realized it had gathered something
moro on his back it commenced to
thrash about and threw Swanson off.
Women in the crowd shriekcd in fear
and men held their breath in excite
ment. 1t was hardly a minute, how
ever, before Swanson appeared unin-
iured and laughing outside of the
line of foam caused by the sharks
struggles. The undauntcd swimmer
again went to the side of the shark and
once more mounted his marine steed.
The shark again showed it's fear. and
anger by shaking HIM off, but not so
violently as before. With great per-
sistence Swanson again climbed on to
the monster.
What seemed before to the many
spectators q most foolhardy act, and
but the courtship of death, now became
q strangely conical sight. Swanson
mounted the fish, and the shark, be-
coming accustomed to its queer burden,
merely rolled the man off each time he
got on it's back, simply turning lazily in
the water and shaking himself. This
was repeated several times, and the
large crowd of people who came ex-
pecting to sec tho man killed and eaten
departed laughing.

first by them to William Penn, the title
of Nibbs being suggested by the famous
Qualker's surname. I prefer that you
should keep silent, however, on this

the fact that my library is now stored

The discovery was his "Favorite Pre-

disappointed in any way in it, you can
get your money back by applying to its

"Who were the Chilly Saints, pro-
fessor?" asked a mild-mannered youth
with long red moustache, who sat in
the corner of the lecture room, after
the deserters had slammed the door be-
hind them.
1.-The Chilly Saints" returned the
professor promptly, "were three in
number: St Pan1eitius, St. Liberatus
and ST. Servatius. Their names are
not mentioned prominently among the
moro fashionable saints of the Holy
Writ, whence is derived their chill. 1t
was cold day when they were left.
They are celebrated on May II, 1s,

Bolan is an intelligent gentleman and
without doubt would make a wise city
father. But there is a suspicion in our
mind that he was elected because of his
nationality. The "no Irish need apply"
policy advocated by S. w. Kellogg is
considered the worst piece of politics of
the season and the other republican
leaders are trying to atone for his fault.
