He MET HIS MATCH.
Mr.. Troutman Gets Worst of Argu-
ment With High School Student.

Saturday the committee chosen by
the mothers who are antagonistic to the
sororities and fraternities in the high
school held meeting. The members of
the Delta fraternity and three from the
Lambas drifted in to the meeting and by
cornering some of the committeeman in
the running fire of questions and debate
cornered the fathers and the result was
that the committee, representing the
mothers, decided to hold another meet
ing at some future time.
Things were brisk at the meeting. Be
fore the proceedings began one of the
committeeman remarked thatnot enough
fraternity boys were present. Later It
seemed that too many were present.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Troutman led
off for the committee and Arthur Gray
spoke for the frats.
1T is thought" remarked Governor
TrOutman, that these fraternities and
SOrorities are too much on the order of
cliques and that the entire school should
be included in any organization"
Why don't you take the whole town
into your Conversation club!' asked
Arthur Gray.
81 suppose if some of your men
were running for Office you would sup
port them % said Governor Troutman
referring to class and school OEnceS.
Mr.. Troutman, if any member of
your Conversation club was running
for chief Of police or police judge or
councilman, wouldn't you and other
club members clap your hands?' ask
ed Gray.
This is but a mere repetition Of
words, observed Governor Troutman.
I'VE will call another meeting
A member of the committee re-
marked that the members of the fra
ternities are behind in their studies
and have low grades.
THAT is false" replied Gray. I
can prove that the members of the
fraternities have good grades.
Governor Troutman asked If girls
were not stealing away from home to
attend the fraternity dances and the
fraternity representative replied that
the fraternities did not know about the
home government and rule of the
daughters.
Some of the fraternity members are
using as an argument on their SIDE q
the controversy that some tune ago

Frost Makes Fat Turkeys.

"Cold weather makes fat turkeys"
said the poulterer, because in warm
fall the ground keeps soft, the yege-
tation fingers on and the fields are full
of worms and bugs. What's the re-
suit? The turkeys from sunrise till
dark tramp the tempting fields on long
forages, eating the worms and bugs,
which thin them, and walking all their
soft and fine flesh into tough, stringy
muscle.
"a. cold fall, with early frosts and
SHOWS, freezes the ground and kills
the bugs. Then the turkeys are not
tempted to wander. They loaf in the
farm yard. gorge an abundance of
grain and put on flesh like a middle.
aged woman at seashore hotel. But
in warm fall, hunting. the irresistible
bug, the turkeys do their fifteen or
twenty miles regularly every day and
become athletes. For athletic turkeys
there is no public demand"

EVANGELIST Crossly's olives.

Robert Grossly, twenty years ago
we'll known as an evangelist, once
had occasion to visit Boston. His
natural habit of frugality led him to
o cheap eating house at noon. There
was a dish of olives on the table, in
tended for a gratuitous nibble. Mr..
Grossly was fond of olives and par
took Of them freely.
An Irish laborer who had seated
himself at the same table, opposite
the evangelist, observed with what
relish the latter consumed the little
green plums." Taking ore from the
dish, which Mr.. Grossly courteously
moved toward him, he put his teeth
into the fruit, and look OF surprise
oyerspread his features at the unex'
pected taste.
Looking at the olive critically, he
remarked, as he lay it down: by
jiggers, but that one was rotten
Twice, and thrice, he made effort,
with the same result. Sitting back
In his chair, he regarded the evan
gelist earnestly moment. and then
said: do ye eat thin because ye

crooked, with many crossroads shoot

easy to get lost.
about a week after I'd got my
wood hauled in Mr.. Kellogg came to
me and asked me to tell him the way
to Ireland, as he wanted to haul some
lumber from there. I told him the
best way | could.
