AS clever a crew with chart and chew
As ever canoed a craft

A former city official who is well

given in large hall the other evening.
His wife and many friends were among
those present. During an intermis-

to hear a stentorian voice ring out
from the gallery.

Slowly and majestically the afore-
said erstwhile official rose from his
place in a prominent part of the house
and faced the gallery in a dignified
manner, as suited his station in So
ciety.
Il am Mr.. Blank" he replied, as
he drew his rather stocky figure to its
full height.
'Sit down, you lobster!" called the
voice, with an emphasis that was as
great as it was embarrassing
The dull thud that was heard i'm

only the noise caused by the ex-offi-

with his rather hard seat. During the
laughter and confusion that followed

RAILROAD SURVEYOR TELLS OF

Welcome He Ever Received-First
Impression Not Favorable.

The man who had been in south.

a prospective railroad had been inter

its truest sense.

we noticed lonesome looking shack
in the edge Of the trees. and we drove
up to it just as darkness came on.
"The first sight Of anything living
was a lean foxhound that dashed out
at us, baying; he was followed by two
more and after these a pair OF collies
and then a miscellaneous collection Of
dogs of all shades and breeds, bent
upon attacking US, but snarling and
biting even among themselves.
Suddenly long. lean figure of a
man with hairy face out OF which
only pair of eyes and the tip of a
nose was showing charged upon the
dogs with stick, sending them scut-

without word he came up to us with
his eyes fixed on the horses.

rule. But If there is one thing that
delights the heart of the average stu

One night at an hour when all good

issuing from one of the dormitories.
Creeping stealthi1y to the door of the
apartment, he confirmed his suspi-

found the door locked. He did the next
best thing and raped loudly on the
door.
Who is there?" came the query
from the interior in disguished voice.

from inside.
