school boys seemed particularly hand
some. After leaving the train. the
crowd swarmcd through the business
part of town. The visitors were anN-
iouS TO see the columns and other uni
vrrsity scenes OF interest. They asked
innumerable questions about college
men and buildings. The university stu
dents didn't feel like answering. They
were anxious to learn how things were
getting along back home. However. all
questions from both sides were answer
Cd before the merry making began.
This mOrnin" was spent i'm
sightseeing. Some went through the
various buildings. Others visited the
state farm in order to see the fine cat
tie for which it is famous Others

A Schoolboy's Complaint.

Boys didn't have so much to learn
A thousand Years ago.
The school books then held only half
The stuff we've got to know.
With fewer kings an wars an things.
The list of dates was small
Boys learnt those days-an' Presidents
They didn't have at all.
An jography-there wasn't near
The lands there are today;
L think they find new countries so
Boys won't have time to play.
It's getting worser all the time
Then sudden clears his brow
Gee. amt I glad amt boy

shop was thrown open to the public

While SelfriGge is wise enough to de-
clare publicly that his shop is an Eng

and that he is not invading the London
field with any intention of teaching the
native business men anything. he new
ertheless has caused each and every one

to sit up and take notice in a remark

by sending out half million individual
invitations to his opening and followed
it up by sending a general invitation

been talked of. The natural result has
been that the store has been packed
