In his New Hampshire speech, the
Colonel said: Through Stimson got
back that money from the Sugar
Trust. As matter of fact, the Colonel

he thinks he is Napoleon Bonaparte.
He believes somehow that he is still
President but, thank God | he is not.

The Pittsburg Gazette expresses q
hope, in which we concur, and that is
that some of the college customs that
japanese Students observe here they
will not Introduce into their native

of treatment of the unsophisticated and
callow youth known to us as fire. sh-
