Glass Scraps Have Commenced at the
Friends Tn ueFs ~.
The second year Props of the Friends
University held a class meeting at the
University yesterday morning and plans
were laid for a class sleigh ride last
night. The third year Props heard of the
proposed ride and Immediately took steps
TO circumvent the lower classmen, All
yesterday afternoon the third year men
could be found in the hall and corridors
discussing some matter in very low whis-
were looking up the location of every
big sleigh on the West Side and also
making their plans about getting hold of
the sleds before the other classmen could
get them. BY . O'Clock person could
not have found third year man in the
university. They were all out over the
west end Of town securing the country
for sleds. As fast as a sled was located
the owner was hunted up and soon the
sleigh was engaged for the evening. as
the third class people wanted TO take
a ride. When the sleds were procured.
a team was borrowed and every sled
was hauled to the barn of one member
OF the class and there it was stored away
and a heavy guard placed over the entire
lot. The third year men found out that
there was one sled out in the country
about two miles. The sleigh belonged TO
a member of the second year class, so
the upper classmen borrowed a rig and
ing and told him they wanted to use his
sled that afternoon and evening and if
he would loan it 10 them he could ride
home in a buggy. He was an accommo-
dating sort of a fellow. so he let the boys
have the sled. and then this one was
stored away with the others in the hay
loft of Mr.. Riley's barn.
So far, so good. The third year boys
al missed their classes during the af-
ternoon and the girls watched every
move the second year people made and
they then Informed their colleague Of
the strength and movements of the en-
envy. But about 5 clock the second year
people decided that as some members Of
the class could not go sleigh riding last
night that the whole affair would be
called off and they would give a party
at some future time. This was the story
put up by some of the members of the
class last night.
The third year class. after getting pos
session Of the sleighs, thought that as
they had cinch on the game. they would
take q sleigh ride themselves, and this
they did. but the idea had not entered
their heads until late in the evening.
They intended TO take the sleighs and
keep the other class from having fun.
but that important piece of stratagem
was the most important idea that they
had until some of the young ladies hap
pened to mention that it would be real
nice for them to have a sleigh ride. es-
pecialiy as there was no trouble about Sc
curing sleighs. Until a late hour last
night the third year Props were driving
around over the city. fully ENJOYING them
selves, and. as they supposed. the lower
ciassmen were bowling around on the
West Side and swearing vengeance on /
the men above them. while instead the /
happy little second Props were sitting
around their stoves studying their les
sons Ike good students should do and
did not even hope that the third Preps
were having q good time.
As the third props were returning home
late last night they were suddenly
bounced upon by crowd OF second +
props, and for q few moments things
were pretty lively on The West Side. The (
lower classmen got the vengeance they /
prayed for. and they went home in
lae greatest happiness. The third class (
men, feeling very jubhaut over the fact /
mat Trey had outwitted their school (
mates and were singing as they went /
along. The second prcns have lost their

the sleigh ride was all over. The lower +

feated third prers. II was mighty

street Tor their harness and laprobes. and
while they were hunting. the horses got
