Thackeray All Right.

The advantages and disadvantages of
the respective positions of the pope and the
sultan. attributed to them by Tha ckera Y,
in one of his happiest bits of verse, have
changed some ewhat since then.
The pope he is a happy man,
His palace is the Vatican,
And there he sits and drains his can.
was Thackeray's idea of the situation.
As for the sultan
He had a hundred wives at least,
By which his pleasure Is increased;
I've often wished, 1 hope no sin,
That / was Sultan Saladin.
Upon reflection, however, the poet de-
cides:
But no, the pope no wife may choose,
And SO 1 would not wear his shoes;
No wine may drink, the proud Paynim,
And 30 I'd rather not be him.
And now the sultan has taken to drink,
and the pepe's health is SO feeble that he
cannot drain a can containing anything
stronger than milk. 1t is doubtful, too,
II the sultan's hundred wives increase his
pleasure Just now.
Ny wife, my wine, love, hope,
And would be neither Turk nor pope.
A conclusion particularly applicable in
the circumstances that exist at present.

Yum, Yum, Yum!

The freshman class of VaSsar, according
to our contemporary, the Uptown Visitor,
have agreed upon a class yell OF which here
are the first two divisions:
Yum, yum, yum,
We chew gum"
Whether this is good yell or not can be
left to the criticisms Of Vassar g expert con-
temporaries; but we are shocked to hear
that Vassar girls proclaim over all the
housetops that they chew gum. Gum, IL
chewed at all, should be chewed in the
privacy of ones own apartments, and the
less said about It the better. Gum che wing

Ing stepped forth on the stage To deliver
an address, holding her manuscript in the

expectant but calm, and very natural in
deed. Her gown is a rich crimson velvet,
with fischu and cuffs of real lace, W hile the
background shows pruscenum boxes, the
usual stage trappings being very dimly
outlined.
