"NUC" ATTENDS THE CARNIVAL.

Our old friend p. Nuckle. attended the students
carnival. and the following is a copy of q letter he
wrote his friend about it:
Dear Horace
went out to tho L Friday nigh, to attend the
carnival of fun. put on by the students of that venerable
institution. and must say it was good.
The first thing which ran into was a young lady
who called m" George and wanted to whisper, but
fortunately she discovered her error and AS George
was conveniently AT hand passed the bet Ia him and
he STAYED.

subject MAS q Young man lying on a plank high mp on
a frame. t" this was attached a clothes line which
was tied to a brick and The brick sa, quietly on the
pasture fence. When the brick was hi, with q base

into the tank of water laid awake all nigh, trying
to figure what connection that brick and clo,hes-line

an enticine sign which read For Men only" and We

OF those emporiums and consisted of nothing moro or
less than a pair of male trousers hanging on IA line.

bright mind which originated that idea. When came
out several ladies wanted to know wh,, ,baro .s 70

invited them in, hut they backed up ST. suddenly they
pulled their heads through the names. Say, Horace,
