It's quite an honor to have one $ name
appropriated by Il spring that has
been dedicated to the cause of learning,
and the expense of keeping the thing up
is mere trtle: but Just try the expert

Nersed. Think of the names that have been
engraved on tin cups for babies to drink,
and when you give your name away see
that it goes to spring, and save expense.
A living spring is always fresh. always

4 great evil has crept into our club,
which threatens to destroy our American
simplicity. 1t is painful to speak OF this,
because it originated at the seat of honor
and authority. Nevertheless, it is our
solemn duty to jump on it with both feet
now in its youthful days. An old and eX-

poem The KNIGHTS of Boguesdale'' he
tackled one of these old titles on to every
male member Of our club and they stick

to lift the scalp lock OF every one of these
bogus Bo@uesCale imps OF feudal times, or
perish in the attempt. Like the late
lamented David Barker Names great
poet, we claim no blood of royal fools.
We may have it; but if we have we want
to swap all OF our vested rights in feudal
pink for an additional chapter of the
Declaration of Independence. For months
we have been whetting up our little
Ratchet and now the time has come to
flash its keen bright blade right down on
the 'thydra head of this serpent of evil
that has crept into our Eden to rob US
of our native Yankee South Montvillian
