sterling silver scissors, was won by

saying that if they did not treat her
with more consideration she now held
the means by which she would cut their
acquaintance as well as her embroid-
cry silk, for the possession of which
thanks were due to naught but her
own good playing. The gentleman's

The little god Cupid, with sharpened
arrows, is ready for young and old. A
short time ago ne pierced the heart of
an old timer who is known from one

of James H. Kennedy, or "Old Jim

After the Cliolian society of the col
lege had been buried with fitting SOL
emnity. tears and other things, the
Arena society had Il right to expect
that they had done all they could to
put to rest and quiet forever their de-
parted friend and lady society. But la
dies are SAID 10 always nave the last
word. On Saturday evening, when the
Arena was holding it's usual weekly
meeting, it was visited by some female
ghosts appareled in unholy garments
likely to strike terror to the hearts of
the bravest. After the boys had re-
covered from their first fright they per-
ceived that the Cliolians had been res
directed. Eager to take advantage of
every opportunity, the Arena chal-
lenged the defunct Cliolian to a de-
bate on departed spirits. The challenge
was refused, and the only reason the
boys can account for it is that the Clio
lians' spiritual abode since their burial
by the Arena has been warmer than
the weather of Montana for the last 10
months. 1t is stated the Arena dug the
grave for the dear departed close to
the furnaces in the college basement

harm was done. John L. Sullivan will
be in town next Monday and there will
