His eyes wandered lazily over the room,
and rested on the long-stemmed pipes
ornamental but not useful-the flaring
field day notices, the photographs and
the strings of programmes which Gov
cred the walls. The CRATE fire flick
cred and snapped and was reflected red
ly in the mirror opposite. From the
next room came the sound of some one
laboriously picking at a mandolin, with
frequent pauses for consideration, and
sharp iangles when the players feel
ings got the better of him. But the
Sophomore was thinking of none of
these things. He had heard the pre-
paratory rattle of plates which her.
aided dinner, and after deciding that it
was too near dinner time to work had
settled himself with pleasant feeling
of virtuous idleness to listen for the
clang of the gong which he knew
should follow.
The old house shook gently, as an an
nouncement that some heavy-footed
person was coming upstairs three steps
at time. Then the Freshman opened
the door and tossed a pile of books on to
the table.
Mothers here" he announced,
shortly.
The Sophomore looked up in sur
prise.
''She was going through and stopped
off to see how l am fixed" the Fresh
man explained.
The Sophomore took his feet from
the table and Strengthened up to sur
vey the room.
us she coming up here?" he asked.
The Freshman nodded. "After Vim
ner," he added.
"Is She" the Sophomore began,
doubtfully.
Somewhat" said the Freshman.
The Sophomore arose and took two
highly-decorated beer mugs from the
mantel. With one in each hand he dis
appeared in the closet. He returned
empty-handed. He opened the drawer
of the table and swept into it an inter-
esting collection of pipes and deck of
cards.
Perhaps it's not necessary" he said,
"but it's as well to be on the safe side.
Put the cover on the tobacco jar. She'll
think it's preserved ginger"
He tossed clothes brush to the
Freshman, and while the Freshman
used it to sweep the accumulation of
tobacco ashes upon the carpet into
neat pile beside the CRATE he busted
himself with replacing certain light
minded literature scattered here and
there about the room, with works on
Comics" and psychology which he
fished out from under the bed. Then
he examined the room critically.
Bring her along" he said.
The Freshman pointed to pile of
dirty collars which ornamented one
end of the dresser. The Sophomore
swept them onto the floor and kicked
them under the bed.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness," he
remarked sententiously, but conceal
ment is next to cleanliness"
Come down and meet her before din
ner," said the Freshman.
The Sophomore studied his reflection
in the glass.
Collar clean-hair brushed-tie
straight" he said. 81 am presentable.
Go ahead"
There's no time now" said the
Sophomore. "Ill meet her after din
ner."
He dived into the smolling-room,
from which he watched the Freshman
lead his mother in to dinner. The
Senior came slowly down the stairs.
You'll have to sit next to her." said

The Irrigation Congress.

The Citizen was in error in yesterdays
issue in the matter of the report of the
fourth National Irrigation congress when
it asked "what had become OF the money
appropriated by the territorial legisla-
ture and the citizens of Albuquerque to
defray the expenses of that congressf"
Sometime in October last the Citizen
printed 10 detail the report of theocal
committee showing where the money
came from and where 1t went to. The
territorial committee agreed with the To-
cal committee to take the proceedings of
the congress and publish them in the u.s.
ual way in book form. They paid Mr..
Residing to take the proceedings. which
he did, and put in shape to print and
turned over to the territorial committee.
The territorial committee expended
about g., 200 OF the territorial appropria-
tion and the remaining $l,3CO should be
available for publishing this report. As
the collection Of taxes has been slow it is
possible that all the money has not been
collected, but enough should be available
to publish at least 1000 to 1000 copies
of the report.-Albuquerque Citizen.
