Princeton Glee club He Is also a mem Der of the Cap and Gown club, a very exclusive club of thirty members. The Princeton Glee club has been in yited by the Yale Dramatic club to pre- sent their opera at New Haven, which is considered most significant In view of the great football victory achieved by Princeton over Yale at the last game layed between these universities, when 30,0 600 people witnessed the victory On that occasion the Princeton fellows and their friends yelled across the gridiron the following written by MT. Clark, apro- pos of the "Tiger'' of Princeton and the Bull Dog" of Yale:
 "Princeton, Princeton, has a tiger With long and shaggy hair,
 Eli has bull dog,
 They are a deadly pair
 When these two get together To have a little scrap,
 Just watch the tiger
 Simply push
 The bull dog off the map"
 None of the Princeton men seem to have taken a more active part in college life than Mir Clark and with the success of his opera, he has won new and de- served honor
 The music has been pronounced bril- liant and very tuneful. and the words are clever and very catchy.
 One of Mir. Clark's topical songs which has become very popular Is entitled "If Were as Patient as Job" The words are as follows: "I sing about a man named Job who lived
 long years ago. And he was just as patient as a girl
 without a beau. "Just seven boys and seven girls were in
 his fam-i-ly; "A house fell down and killed them all.
 but Job didn't kick, not he. 'If I was as patient as old Mister Job. 'Id hear Hiawatha all day: "I wouldn't get sore if the wife l
 adore Should bring in her mother to stay 'Td live you may judge. upon boarding
 school fudge and breakfast food
 made out of hay; "Td start a irritation with old Carrie Na-
 ton se If were as patient as Job" Another verse in the song runs like this:
 If were as patient as old Mister Job 'Id ride on the trolley with him; 'Id give up my seat to each woman
 meet,
 "Altho' she were ugly as sin; 'I never would fret at the very smart set Because I could never get in. 'Td live up at Sherry's on high-balls and
 cherries 'If I were as patient as Job"
 This song Is sung by MT. Quigg and chorus.
 Another clever song by MT. Clark en- titled Society Demands It. has made a great hit:
 "A lot of matrimonial things are in fash ion in this progressive land; 'The news In Town Topics Is hot as the tropics7- ''The real tobasco brand. "A man in the summer must toll like a plumber, His wifes down by the sea; He's making the nun. but she has the fun;
 Now why should these things be- ..Society demands 1t, and 1t must be so. Tho no one understands 1t, yet we don't
 say no. ''We do a lot of foolish things we really
 should not do, But ir the world demands it. do don't
 you?"
 The opera is filled with bright, amusing songs and reveal MT. Clark's unusual versalty AS sung by the Princeton men, they possess dash and ''go," that as a result each member of the Princeton Tri- angle club scored instant success on the first presentation of the opera.

Dirty But a Gentleman.

From the Kansas City Journal
 Different people have different ideas as to what necessarily constitutes a gentle man. We carried a real gentleman in the smoker the other night and he didn't look any more like a gentleman either than the commonest thug you'll see' said the conductor on a Carthage electric car to the Press. "A dirty faced, roughly dressed. hard working man got on the car with his dinner bucket and took his seat in the smoker. We didn't know he was a gentleman for some time. but one little act betrayed him and set him above every man in that car. He pulled me by the arm and asked me to open a window for a second. Why? said I. Its pret- ty chilly for open windows tonight. I've got to spit replied the man, and then I knew he was a gentleman, and of course opened the window. He spit outside the car. I told some of the other fellows about it and they all say they yet wait for a similar experience. We consider the incident on of the most important in yearS.n

HIRMlNeHAm's CHAMPS ELYsEEs.

Without detractlng from the many other attractive residence sections it may be said that Birmlngham's Champs Elysees is Highland avenue, beginning where the car curves westward from Twentieth street a little below where the gray tow CTS of St. Mary's rise like Notre Dame in Paris. Beginning here the double drive way extends some distance out until the avenue becomes magnificent boulevard.
 Under the influences of the spring wealth. CT the terraces stretching backward from the avenue are a velvety green, and the ivy and clematis have softened the lines about the houses until they have about they an old and charming air. Roses are
 blooming about the pillars and window
 boxes have appeared in many of the smart houses. Looking down the avenue from where Arlington diverges is like view of beautiful plaza. The avenue stretches white and smooth and straight below the terraces women in summer gowns are promenading, the driveway Is alive with well set up traps the hoofs of the horses fairly caressing the smooth earth. It always seems that a band should be playing in the plaza, so pictur- esque, so full of color Is the scene Take a stroll along the avenue early these spring mornings and it will make the blood start in your veins. Go on canter along the boulevard and you will be in love with nature and the world. Little children are playing and laughing son the terraces. the brilliantly colored awnings have been lowered, the pave ,ments are gleaming white in the May sunshine. See the avenue when day is done and Birmingham gives herself over 10 pleasure. See 1t once at an enchanting hour, when the sun has set in flame of splendor behind the gray towers of St. Mary's, and you will never quite forget it. The poplars and naples take on that deep, dark, indescribable green, the white pillars of colonial houses look like marble, the lights twinkle here and there as the twilight deepens and below, far away, lies jeweled city, its countless lights hung together like Japanese lanterns at a garden party Go anywhere wander along the brilliantly lighted avenue of any city, but beyond their lights, beyond all that they will offer you, you will see the smooth white Champ Elysees of Bir- mingham, the terraces, the trees, the glittering city far away, and in days to come you will think of it and love 1t as the Parisian does his boulevards, and the Londoner his Rotten Row
