What He Took.

You probably remember the school
boy who, in a composition on pins,
said, Pins have saved the lives OF
many people,"
His teacher was astonished at this
statement and asked him to explain
1t.
He replied: by people not swal-
lowing them"
That was not the case with the man
in the following incident:
My dear MI. Finnicky said to his
wife, II don't think those pills l have
been taking have done me much good.
Why, you haven't been taking any
for three weeks
Yes, l have; I've swallowed one
three times q day as directed
"'You have? Then why is 1t that
there are SO many left in the box as
there were three weeks ago? What
box have you been taking them from!
This one-marked for me-
Dear me, John! That II my shoe
button box.'"-Birmingham Herald.

Natures Warning to Animals.

AT the opening of the present winter
scientists II others not scientists
we're disposed to ridicule the signs CT
severe weather so generally accepted
bv the common folk in the rural dis
tricts. The goose bone, the heavy
crop of nuts, the thick fur Of rabbits,
muskrats. otter and beaver and the
extra work of the latter on their hab-
itations were laughed at as the igno-
rant superstitions which tradition had
sanctifed. 1t was asked how could a
beaver know anything about the wealth
err when the meteorolog,sts were In
able to venture a prediction, aud it was
even more senseless to suppose that
the furs of animals should be accom-
modated to the aso when man, SO
much higher in natures scale, was civ
en- no warning whatever.
Well, all of these signs we're observ-
able last fall in unusual abundance.
and the scientists will probably admit
that the winter has at least been some
what airish. Post hoe, prCptr: hoe Is
an argument often employed by the
scientists. 1t is not a particularly safe
argument unless there have heen a
good many hoes and propter noes: but
this is precisely what is claimed by
those who contend that nature gives
worning of a severe winter. They con
tend hat these signals have been OBJ
served for centuries, and that they are
entitled to the same recognition is
science gives to its multiplied expe.

trust and rejecting much credit upon
their instructors. also received certifi-
Gates in stenography. Miss Carrie r.
Burton of Laramie and Miss Ida Jean
Moen of Laramie were presented with
certificates in stenography from the
school Of commerce.
The class receiving the degree Of
bachelor of pedagogy (B. Ped.) from
the normal school was as follows:
Agnes Brebner, Laramie; Juliette Car
ter, Rawlins; Benjamin F. Crandall.

shew, Manville; Bada Johnson, Lara

grab last night were of marked x
c%ellence. Mrs. Gibson was In sweetest
voice and delighted her auditors by
her magnificent rendition of Cells
Butterfly" singing Millard's version
in English. Mrs. Clark, always the
idol of a university audience, prefaced
Chopin's exquisite "Slumber Song"
with an explanatory address, which
contributed in marked degree to the
success Of her number. The work Of
the University orchestra, which rem
dered two numbers, surpassed even its
previous high standard, and the organ
ization is certainly a great credit to
the university.
Congratulations and farewells are
now in order, and pleasure and pain
are blending In these closing hours
for the class of 1905. Such is life, and
those who tarry must this year bid
adieu not only to the seniors, but TO
Captain Yates, to Prof. Stockwell and
to Prof. McGregor, extending cordial
welcome, too. to their successors.
And 80 we go our way!
The world is wide,
And here, with outward swerve, our
paths divide;
We 60 our way.
And for tomorrow?
There are faces new,
New hands to clasp, new waiting
deeds to do,
All for tomorrow"
