 COGITATIONS OF A COYOTE
 The Coyote limped up breathlessly. His usually well-kept hair was all tousled. On his countenance were streaks of mud that would have been a credit to an Indian on the warpath. One lone suspender was all that aVerted a calamity. Superlatives fail 1 to describe his appearance!
 Why, where under the sun have 1 you been?" I cried. The mud where ! his face was, disintegrated, and wrv 1 smile appeared
 Oh" he panted. ''I was out there watching the football practice when 1 Geary came up and whispered in my ear, Coyote, come out here and help i the second team. will you? I agreed and went out. Now, Second Team 1 says Geary, you're the Indians and ] today Is Thanksgiving. First Team. yCu know who you are. Now go to It Well, We sure did. This is what's left of me, and I'm fair sample of the rest of the scrubs. Well, what we won't do to those lndlanS- He stopped and licked lis chops in anticipation You know" he went or. "Gearv's dandy coach. and say, I never met finer fellow"
 We'll what about the team" demanded.
 Now. have you been here all this tune and still don't know what every oyed-ln -the-wOol Coyote thinks about tie team?' he asked incredulousIv ] tell you, nothing is too good for our team. Why. man, Eyervbodv simply idolizes 'em. That is-au ex- cept the knockers, and they'd knock inside their cOffins to sec if tho lid 's on tight. Why, if we ran a ponu- I'rIty contest, you could tie uD the pllzes beforehand and turn 'em ovar tc the members of the team. becauea nobody else'd have even smell"
 Alter this outburst he subsided and
 had chance to slip a few words m edgeWise, as it were.
 Haven't you something that ,ould get down in black and white Tor the other Coyotes?" I asked him
 lie thought for a moment or two while waited, pencil in hand. Then thought seemed to come to him
 Tell 'em this" and Teaching in his pocket he produced piece of paper. | was thinking about things the ether evening" he explained and this came to me" Then he began:
 My loyal Coyotes: Remember Thanksgiving Day to eat thy turkey. Lut forget not to see thy football team Wallop the redskins This shalt thou do that thy memories may be pleasant of the vacation which Pro- lessor Stabler. thy principal. giveth thee. This has been great year in football. Let us keep it so That can We do by turning out with the proper spirit to yelp for the team Every team likes to hear the cheers of their schooimates ringing in their cars as they buck the line. Ours is no exception. To 1t We are indebted for an unbroken string of victories. for glory. for honor. and for the valu- able interest and aid of all Phoenix. Come now, save your cafeteria pen nies and have four-bits for the game on Thanksgiving"

 And off he went
 J. $. DORIAN. Where can a man buy cap for his
 knee, Or key for lock of his hair? Would you call his eyes an academy. Because there ar" pupils there? In the crown of his head what gems
 are set? Who travels the bridge of his nose? And in shingling the roof of his
 mouth Would he use the nails on the end of
 his toes? Would you send the crook of his
 elbow to jail? IT so, what did he do? How does he sharpen his shoulder |
 blades ' m sure I don't know. do you?
