TRANSFERRING THE PALLADIUM

Down in Pennsylvania, it seems, the
young ladies who attend colleges have
their Sophomore and Junior struggles
as well as in other parts of our country.
Miss Irene Albers, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. W. Albers, of this city, is
student in Wilson college at Cham
oersburg, Pa, and she has sent home
an interesting account of what is
termed the Transferring of the Palla-
dunn" She says:
numbered classes of Wilson college,
was turned over to the Sophomores by
the Seniors last evening at the ban
quet of the two classes in the Lochiel.
More than a hundred and twenty fair
students went down from Chambers
burg to see that Palladium retained his
job.
AS class god Palladium is still
youth; he came into existence several
months before the class of 1906 grad
uated when the graduates-elect of that
year decided that they ought to have
god. At the same time the similar
problem of future even-numbered
classes was solved by 1908 when it in
stituted the custom of handing Palla-
dunn down from Senior to Sophomore.
Incidentally the ceremony of changing
hands provided reason for banquet.
Before the 1906 commencement Palla-
dunn was safely turned over to the
class of 1908 and it was up to 1908 last
evening to see that Palladium continued
on his way.
Transferring Palladium to his future
owners of two years is no joke but the
class of 1908 did it successfully last
evening. 1t took nerve-racking vigil
lance on the part of both .Sophs and
Seniors, to say nothing of the co-opera-
ton of attaches of the Lochiel, an ex-
press company and the Cumberland
Valley railroad. Eight Juniors who
tried to prevent the transfer were
martyrs to the cause, too, but this was
| Incidental
Palladium was struggled away from
| Wilson college and taken to Harris
burg where the transfer was made and
in which city the banquet was held.
| The eight Juniors who tried to prevent
the transfer were caught aud made
prisoners and placed in separate rooms
and tied to bed posts. The rooms
were darkened and guards appointed.
| The majority of the two classes tiptoed
and whispered about the upper halls"
The Juniors were ready to make the
trip to Harrisburg to prevent the trans
fer, but not hearing from their advance
guard they gave up the attempt.
| Finally Palladium was transferred
and the banquet was on. The 1925
train arrived and brought no Juniors;
still the Palladium guards weren't tax
ing any chances. Palladium was put
back into his little trunk, kissed, wept
over little perhaps, Rugged and then
the trunk was closed An express
wagon drove up and the trunk was
heoyed aboard Four sophomores
mounted the trunk and rode upon it
to the Cumberland Valley station where
it was checked to Chambersburg. The
Juniors could do their worst
1t was great event in the college
and one that was very exciting.

cessful one socially as we'll as very in

tendance were w. j. Farrell, D. E.

The trouble with most peorle wilo

not like to take the time to get cured:
they overeat and then take physic,
which simply upsets the stomach.
While you can set relief from one
or two doses of Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets, II cannot be expected that a trou-
Bile which has been coming on for
years can be cured in e day. Chronic
and long-standing case1 OF stomach
trouble need at leass two or three
weeks treatment before the sick

burn, Constipation. nervousness and
other symptoms thnh directly result
from indigestion, are hanished. never

Mi-o-na is far different from the
usual disestives which have been
used in treating stomach troubles.
It is taken before each meal, stimu-
Iating the secretion OF the digestive
Juices and Strengthening. the whole
system, so that the stomach Itself does
the work OF taking care of the food
which is eaten. without distress or
suffering.

Aniong the striking things about
Hon. William J. Bryan which were
commented on during his recent visit

strain incident to his tour from Nebras-
ka he looked as fresh 80 May morn
ing. He had been travelling at night
TO friends, attending banquets and pub
lie gatherings and making speeeheg
frequently during that time, and hsd
enjoyed scarcely good Nights rest
since the start. Ana yet he was alert
tai energy. He had to get up very
early on the day be reached Birming-
ham, convefsed with friends on the
train. and was given scarcely time to
swallow his breakfast before he was

dress st the Bijou he was the central
figure 1T luncheon at Governor Com
er's home, and had scarcely time foi

until after midnight He couldn't have
gotten to sleep before Q o'clock In the
morning, yet he was up at O'CLOCK
to catch the train for Atlanta from
which point he was on the railroad
eighteen or twenty hours before reach
ing Washington where again he was
billed for a speech at the dinner OF
the Grtd1ron Club, ana even then, had
to dress on the train and hurry to

suburbs of the city in order to get
there. in time for the delivery Of his
speech.
Despite the tremendous strain to
which he Is subjected day and night
sometimes FOR weeks on these tours he
never betrays any signs of being tired.
