In my travels in Mexico 1 visited a
city which has town clock in high

leading citizens of the town had visit

ADVANTAGE Of Knowing Greek.

According to western college BOY
who is on his vacation, the college
youth of this country have put heavy
demands upon the simple tattooer. No

laurel wreaths do to decorate the arms

college boys say they must, have the
names of their college fraternities in
Creek letters done into the skin of
their arms. 1t is fortunate thing
that some use has been found for
Creek. So long as the alleged fad en-
