But, as the wise men tell US:
All things must reach an end.
We found that the Freshman highway
Came 10 a sudden bend
And from our point OF vantage
We saw that the roadway led
Thro' Soph. and Junior to Seniorl
Thro' pink and yellow to redl
The pathway looked long and dreary
To struggle and toll along
Twas then that some of us fingered
While others went humming a song.
And he who has worked and studied
With everything up to date.
Has earned his card of admission

MANS BEST FRIENDS
ARE CIRCUS MAInSTAY
Noble Specimens of Dog and Horse
Families Are Featured
in MANY Acts.

1t is q noticeable feature in connection
with the circus that mans two best
1riends In the animal world, the horse
and the dog, furnish a number of the
acts which make the most direct appeal
to those who witness the huge and swift
ly-moying entertainment On the Barnum
q Bailey bill. as it is to be unfolded here,
to the horse, there being no less than
twenty-five of the 10 acts in which lie is
made the dominant feature.
While the dog Is not featured to the
how often he fits in and adds to the eff
fectiveness of the circus bill From first
10 last he Is a factor, coming in for the
opening number to work with the ele-
pnants and finally taking part in the hip
podrome races with which the entertain
ment comes to an end.
Many of the things performed by the
dogs are wonderful. There is a troupe OF
eight fox terriers which, with bells at
tached to their necks, play THE Last
Rose of Summer to the accompaniment
OF the band. Two dogs are made up to
look like elephants and burlesque the acts
of the real elephants A clown leads a
mite of yellow dog around the arena
with hawser stout enough to hold q bat
tleship. 1t is a certainty that II ever a
dog possessed sense of humor this sor-
ry-loOking animal has it in abundance.
Other clowns make up little dogs TO look
like horses so cleverly that they have
people in doubt as to whether they are
seeing dogs or midget horses. The dog
that tries to tear the seat out of the
clowns breeches is there and the louder
the laughter the harder he seems to work.
The star Of all of the dogs is big shaggy
fellow brought from Germany. He works
in conjunction with a pony and a donkey
both almost of his size. They seem V
have a bully time. The pony gets into
swing, the donkey sFinds out 1.-THE
Merry Widow waltz on a hurdy-gurdy,
while the dog swings the pony. Finally
the dog gets astride the donkey and drives
him out of the ring.

.PERSUADER'S WINNING WAY
Lippman Induces Council Committee
to Settle Van Schoonhooven
Damage Claim.

The council has decided to settle with
Garrett Van Schonhooven for changing the
grade on Third avenue between Canyon
road and street for s725. The committee
on streets has made this recommendation
and il will no doubt be approved. The
money is to be used by Van SchoOnhooven
to improve his frontage, and so fix his
property that he can easily secure egress
and ingress With the report is a bid
from a contractor offering to do the ne
cessary work for that amount.
The matter was at one time sidetracked
by the committee, but Van Schoonhooven
had wisdom enough to employ per
suader," one Joseph Lippman, as his at
torney. and consequently the matter was
revived with great alacrity, after Lipp-
man had scored Councilman Reedall for
his effort to deny his client a hearing.
