Amos Medders strolled out and saw
Lucy.

"Two!" Lucy asked.

Lucy" Harry said.
Daphne maliciously opened the box
and placed the hat on Lucy's head.
From her window Mrs. Blazes

Round Table Club.

The Round Table Club and the
School Club travelled to AnalOstan
Island last Saturday on an annual pic
nic. A most delightful day was spent.
Quite a crowd embarked from George
town IN five boats early in the morn
ing, and others were coming all day.
A ball game in the morning was the
feature in which Prof. John Nalle was
box artist, opposed to Ned Henderson.
DR.. w. 5. Montgomery spent the ear
ly morning fishing and discovering
water mOCcasIns. Professors Shipper,
Hartgrove, Jackson, Nalle, Montgom-
cry, Douglass, Lewis and Bruce en-
gagged III progressive whist series,
seated most uncomfortably upon the
ground. Nat Guy, Henry Murray and
DR.. CardOza took turns at chess. Pro
fessors Newman and Walker tried
their hands at the piscatorial art out
in mid-stream
Professor Jennifer undertook to
prOpel a batteau to the monument
ground, and raised quite a crop of
corns and blisters. Haley, Douglass,
Hartgrove, Henderson and Al Lewis
enjoyed swimming. At two o'clock
all hands went to the ball field and
game royal began between the
Knights and the Educators. Profes-
sor Nalle twirled in mastery style,
and held his opponents to measly hts
and pop flies. Three supervising prln-
Cipals lined up actively with Prof.
Montgomery as umpire, Jim Walker
as catcher, and John Nalle in the box.
The combination was too much for
the Knights, and the medieval oppo-
nents lost to the Educators by the
score of 9 to 7. Bessett, CardOza,
Guy, and Umpires Newman, Mont
gomery and Jackson were star per-
formers. After the game the quarter
master department of the School Club,
Chef Lewis, Hartgrove and Bassett,

combined to grace the occasion.

AustraIia'a StonY Dasar4.

The great stony desert OF north Aus
tralia was discovered by Captain Sturt,
an Australian explorer, in 1885. It
Is north Of the river Darling and is
about 300 miles long and LOO broad,
consisting Of sandy dunes or ridges
Its want Of trees, except along the
creeks. gives the country a sterile ap-
pearance. These ridges were probably
formed by the joint effect of winds
and q gradually retiring sea. Accord
ing to Captain Sturt, these waters
were gradually lost by evaporation or
carried to some undiscovered sea. The
only vegetation, growing scanttly. Is
prickly acacias in full bloom, all Of
stunted growth Water is scarce ex-
cept In the creeks which afe sheltered,
and this is generally hrackish. Few
travellers care to traverse this inhos-
pitable desert.
