MANY MARRYING
MAIDENS WANTED
Merlin Bachelors Organize for the
Purpose of Securing the Earth
for Helpmates.

Everton TO Miss Ada /. Sexton and
Bert Massie to Miss Clara Dauntless,
and the rumored nuptials of few
other couples that are soon to take
place, has caused all the remaining
bachelors to sit up and take notice.
1t is all very well to procrastinate
In this matter so long as there is an
abundance of material to choose
from, but as soon as one realizes that
the best chances are rapidly slipping
away, there Is generally rush. 1t
Is also noticeable that when there
are but few maidens left they are
shy, and hard to approach. This is
the case here, and at a recent session
OF the Kangaroo Club the matter was
discussed at considerable length. It
was finally decided that It might
be a good idea to import a few de-
sirable maidons in order to make the
remaining ones loosen up their heart
strings In the matter Of selecting
a chairman Of the committee on ways
and means, Chas r. Short won out
because Of the fact that he has but
recently been left alone with his
SORROWS and Is not yet on the eligible
list, and would therefore not enter
the competition for the present He
took hold Of the matter like an old
hand at the business and tried to
get each Of the members TO set out
their qualifications and their desires
80 he would have something definite
to work on. AS is natural, there was
more or less modesty manifested,
each one claiming that as for them
selves there was no hurry, but they
were only interested in encouraging
the other boys As It was plainly
evident that this was only a ruse,
the committee went to work to
formulate schedule of their own,
with the following result:
