erty, in the land of the stars and
stripes. Here we are forced to study
lessons in schools. Now l am dag
onally in favor of schools but am
horizontally opposed to recitations.
What do we care about what Chris
topher Boneparte or Napoleon Co.
lumbus did about ten millions of
years ago. It's shame we have to
study about them.
I'm opposed to having any rules
in colleges whatever. We don't
have our American liberty while we
are under regulations, and If I'm
elected I'll have 'em all done away
with immediately, if not sooner.
Another thing Pm in favor of
forcing all colleges to keep stand
ard books in their libraries, such az
Buffalo Bill, Jessie James and Nick
Carter. Now they keep such books
as Scott and Dickens. These books
will ruin anybody who reads them,
and if Pm elected l'll have 'em
all piled up with historic physics,
geometries, trigonometries, English
literatures and all books of foreign
languages on top well saturated
| with the combustible elements of
kerosene, benzine and gasoline, and
fire stuck to the whole bushes.
Now about this here business.
I'm in favor of having everything
good to eat. Only last week friend
| of mine attending the we'll known
| institution of Huckleberry acade-
my came very near committing
sideways while endeavoring to make
an impression on a piece of steak,
piece of it flew up and knocked
him unconscious. Now they serve
coffee in colleges 80 weak until 1t
ought to be brought to the table on
crutches. If I'm elected I'll have
chicken and turkey served three
times day, and have no more
beef. 1 tell you something else LII
do. I'll have holidays on Christmas,
Thanksgiving, Easter, Washington
| and Lees birthday and all other
| days between time.
I'm in favor of having leave sew
IN days out of every week and more
if possible. Now we have to sit in
our rooms and look out the win
lows at the sun singing and the
birds shining when everybody
ought to be having good time.
| think all cadetesses ought to be
allowed to visit the "Kollege Kan
pus Kounter" at any time they may
.hoose, also in favor of forcing the
proprietor of said K. K. K. to give
FIVE dollars to every young lady who
purchases five cents worth of articles.

flooded most of that town and put a
fright upon the entire populace. The
food rushed down the mountain
side in torrents and swept everything
before it. 1t took the N. & w. tracks

tied up and did not pass this city
until nine o'clock this morning. No
one was hurt but everybody was

way, the food ended and the usual
even tenor Of the people was resumed

not where to cast their lot and are
