The large assembly room was filled

The work of the nimbIe fingers OF the

in the decorations Gayiy-hued streamers
and festoons floated from every conceiv-

MR. WARMERS TALK.
Mr.. Warner took as his subject Improve
your opportunities and so entertain
ingly did Nc talk that when he ceased there
Were frequent calls from the audience
begging him TO continue.
He said in part: When a boy is without
experience and has never viewed life on
its pratccal side, the more books you get
into his head the less practical and imme-
diately fitted for Iifes battle does he
become. 1 do not mean by this to state
that | am opposed to liberal and broad
education. \ young man goes to college
and, with his books, scars up TO an En-
pyrean height and dreams and visions
fly from him like electric sparks from an
emery wheel
He must come down and when he does,
although for the time being he may be
distanced in the race by his unframed col
league, beforelong he will climb where the
other may never nope to reach.
when you go into business house don't
think you know more than your employer
The most worrying mortal that have met
was a young clerk with little head and
big cane. a good piece OF advice that l
can give you is to keep on the good side Of
the newspapers and never mention one Of
our Washington dailies without referring
to the other four.
Yet | want 10 speak a word about the
school edition of that wide-awake Journal,
The Times / regard the school edition as
a great feat Of enterprise and as an accom-
plishment of which any paper might well be
proud.
DON'T BE ASHAMED OF PAPA
For the ladies | have nothing TO say, for
they are cast in perfect mould But to
all as a parting word l would advise that
you never become ashamed of your parents.
Don't come TO the COnCiuSiOn that your
father don't dress well enough and ought
to wear russell shoes, duck trousers, and a
red cravat."

mons and Monsieur Roger De Mauny-Tal-
vandc y class poem OF considerable merit

V. Church ana Gilbert W. Kelly, - orator

fully written and admirably delivered ad-
dress to the undergraduates, made her
friends proud of her and ] V Kelleys ap-
pTopriate reply received a storm of we'll
mcrited applause.
A paper that teemed with wittiCisms
and bright hits and sallies was read by a
demure pretty little prophecies. Miss Leila
