UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR.
Tho Way It Sometimes Crops Out In
 Examination Papers.

The Way It Sometimes Crops Out In
 Examination Papers.
 About the driest thing in the world is the reading of lot of examination papers," said ayyeung University of Pennsylvania English instructor re- gently, but occasionally the monotony of an evening of such work is relieved by bit of humor. Frequently stu dents try to be funny, thinking, per haps, that they will in this way get on the right side of the man who marks the papers, but such attempts are usu- ally flat failures. It is the unconscious bits of humor that are the gems.
 "A short time ago I gave as a sub- ject for an essay to one of my fresh man classes My Impressions of Penn sylvania.' One youth wrote his name at the top of his paper and then sat through sthe entire hour, gazing at the ceiling, apparently unable to get a start. Then at the end he handed in the blank piece of paper. As a piece of satire it would have been excellent, but I am sure he had no such inten- ton. The blank paper merely repre- sented his inability to get his impress <ions in writing and not the lack of impressions.
 "A short time ago history profes- sor asked the question, What caused the French rebellion of 1S3OY One of the replies was merely, Too much Bourbon If this answer had come from an ordinary student he would have given the writer credit for witty answer, but 1t was written by a serious minded youth from the coun- try, who, he was sure, was incapable of such an effort and probably did not even know there was whisky by that name. Truly the unconscious are the gems. s."-Philadelph Record

BRIDGEPORT BOY
 YALE CLASS POET
Arthur Edward Baker is a B. HI. s. Graduate-Judge Lock-
 woods Grandson

Arthur Edward Baker a son of Mrs Alice Baker of 112 Cottage St. and a B. H. S. graduate has the great hon. or of being class poet of Yale 1910. MT. Baker is a grandson of the late D. B. Lockwood, one of Connecticut's foremost criminal lawyers. The poem of MT. Baker which follows is one of unusual strength and beauty
 VISION AND STRENGTH.
 (By Arthur Edward Bakery Gravely to voice sad sentences Of parting is my theme; To body forth the crowding hopes That make the future seem A bright renection of our past. Nay-brighter-as we dream. One score of three score years and ten Has brought its gift to us; For young men shall see visions And dreams made glorious With trust unshaken, and good hope To end victorious. Our young eyes look into the shrine Whose doors are changeless name; :; The lucent heart of the great world Beats with our own; the name Potent to master Death and Life
  A pictured reliquary Life
 Puts in our hands devout; Pure-hearted we see Heaven therein; From the carved work without The lessons of Eternity
 Our stammering lips spell out His vision and unblemisned
 strength
 These are Youths heritage; The fiery gift descends on us e,,' From warrior and sage, And the Pentecostsl miracle Flames from the written page. Knowledge full-sphened of deeds and Our loving dreams have sought; We echo words of the worlds vast
 speech
 That our quick ears have. caught, And play at living in our dreams, Till we have fear of naught. And though we call them only dreams, We guard them, and forget Failure will come. and sterile Foil, And Cults first child, Regret: These are the burdens of men grown, We need not hear them yet. So much we know-a score of years Has brought us strength to- meet The test those years have brought,
 and we,
 With resolute winged feet, Catch step in the veterans cadenced
 march,
 Untutored in defeat. Yet, eager though we are, we pause At the kind Mothers knee, With broken words, and eyes more
 sad
 $ Than they are wont to be, As sons to greet her, ere those sons Are shattered utterly. Yale, Gracious Mother of us all, Thy gifts are in our hand; What mother-magic thou hast used To quicken and command Our boys vague purpose to high ends We may not understand. Our halting thanks cannot repay Thy work in us, above All feeble valufng of men;
 Only thy boundless love, Freely bestowed can we return. As we have shared thereof.

 '1 hope I treat your mother as man should treat the person he cares most for," responded father evenly.
 "Heard you were so generous to her that every one in town knew about 1t. Heard a man say every one was talk ing about it too. He said everything you had was in your wife's name"

The Snanish Moors.

When the people of the rest of Eu- rope were little better than barbari- ans the Spanish Moors were in the midst of splendid culture. As early as the tenth century this country was the source of learning for all Europe. Their libraries schools, arts, sciences, luxurious refnements and all round material and intellectual advancement differentiated them from the rest of Europe as clearly as ancient Greece was from the peoples that surround ed it.

.f|FTY-SEVEN VARIETIES
 IN TIE CITY BASIIlE Circus Day Offenders Ranqe From Orunks to Gun Toters and
 Check Artists.

At an early hour yesterday morn- ing the city jail held fifty-seven va rleties of offenders, ranging all the way from sleeping drunks and chas- tened disorderlies, to gun toters and alleged check artists. It was an aft ermath of the circus and a token of the activity of the police the day and evening before. Never before in the history of the city jail have so many prisoners been incarcerated within those four walls.
 Fifty-seVen does not represent the exact number of arersts made in con- nection with circus day, for there were eight members of the chain gang in the city jail when the fes- tivities began, but it is estimated that considerably more than eight were arrested the day before who managed to secure bail and thereby escaped incarceration. And of all the offenders apprehended there was not one woman numbered among them.
 Early in the morning Jailer Perrin began the work of sorting out those who had been placed on the sober-up list and he found that there were exactly twenty five in the lock up against whom no charges had been placed. These were accordingly turned loose.
 When the regular session of police court convened at four o'clock in the afternoon, twenty four offenders faced Police Judge Thomas. The first on the list was George Habby. an Indian policeman who had been arrested by Officers Troutman and Hosmer, while intoxicated. He was toting a gun as big as the side of a house and had a belt full of cart ridges. As he had done no harm to any person but himself he was let off with a fine of seven dollars which he made arrangements to pay.
 Enrich Heinricks had been picked up while carrying a gun. He had been drinking but the evidence did quarrelsome As he had been in the country but a short time and as he said he had left his employment upon a nearby ranch, he was allowed to go under suspended sentence. he having said he was simply carrying the gun while he was looking for room and he was afraid of the dark
 The other offenders received from a suspended sentence up to ten dol lar fines with the alternative of serv- ing ten days The chain gang was very materially strengthened as a re- suit.
