rear of the saloon and showed him into

The combination on the vault was
turned accidentally by the flake" ban

laughter.
But It was different with the man in
side the vault. He frantically beat and
kicked against the big steel door, Only
faint sounds could be heard by the men
outside. and after they had had their
laugh out they tried to hberate their
victim.
No one knew the combination and after
each in turn had tried his hand at open

serious side of the joke

Much Enthusiasm Manifested by Col
Leg Men Over Recital of Glee
and Mandolin Clubs.

'Hoyah. Hoyah, Saxa. Hoyah.

stage, gave the college yell with all the
spirit the sons of old Georgetown could
muster
Keen interest attaches to the annual
concerts by the Georgetown students
and every effort was put forward to
make last nights recital a fitting fol-
lower to those which have gone before.
The Glee Club under the Rev H. Au-
gustus Gaynor and the Mandolins di-
rected by John a Foote gave a sue
cession of numbers which kept the au-
dience in the hall until almost Il
o'cioun.
Among the six numbers by the Glee
Club the one which was received with
the most favor was a composition by
Mr.. Foote, leader of the Mandolin
Club This was "Obiter Dicta," a typi-
cal glee piece and recited many amusing
| incidents, including % new version Of
Mary Had a Little Lamb" Mr.. Foote
also figured conspicuously as a COM
poser of two guitar solos which he gave
and which evidenced keen musical in
sight, and should lead him to greater
notice in the field OF composition.
