ONE GRADUATION GRAFTON.

OH II uhdDOdL 1ON OhhL ION.
1t was developed on the breezy
plains of Kansas, in one of the edu-
cational institutions ofwhich alyoung
lady in want of a "subject for grad
uating essay" was advised to write
upon the old stock theme, Beyond
the Alps Lies Italy" She accepted
the suggestion, but then surprised
her preceptors and auditors by ap-
pearing before them at the appoined
time and reading the following:
81 do not care cent whether Italy
lies beyond the Alps, or even in Mis-
souri,. / do not expect to set the
river on fire with my future career.
l am glad have good, very good,
education, but l am not going to mis-
use it by writing poetry or essays
about the future woman. 1t will en-
able me to correct the grammar of
any lover may have, should he speak
of 'dorgs' in my presence, or say he
had went somewhere. 1t will also
come handy when / want to figure
out how many pounds of soap a
woman can get for three dozen eggs
at the grocery. SoIdo not begrudge
the time l spent in acquiring it. But
my ambitions do not fly so high. l
just want to marry a man who can
lick anybody of his weight in the
township, who can run an S0-acre
farm, and who has no female relatives
to come around and try to boss the
ranch. And will agree to cook good
dinners for him that won't send him
to an early grave, and lavish upon
him whole lot of wholesome affect
ion, and see that his razor hasn't
been used ID cut broom corn when he
wants to shave. In view of all this,
1 don't care if do get little rusty
on the rule of three and kindred
things as the years go by"
