AN uNpEREsTIMATED FOE.

If ten terrible monsters came every
spring to this country and all summer
long devoured the people, chewing ba'
bies as we eat blackberries, biting OIL
the heads Of young men, goring the
aged to death and stalking about
among us as lion among the martyrs
of the Coliseum, we should be up and
doing, militia would march forth to
give them battle, colonies would wave
swords, guns would belch and no en-
thusiasm would be lacking.
But when the monster is small and
playful and common we let him ravage
He doesn't somehow appeal to our
Imagination.
Yet he does more harm, being TO-
900 100000 or 50. than any ten mlno'
taurs, polyphemuses or dragons that
ever posed in the pages of tradition.
He is the common house fly.
Although much has been said about
him and his deadliness, the people are
not yet alive to the enormity Of his
crimes. There are thousands of kitch,
ems where flies still swarm and infect
the food, thousands of babies over
whose faces and upon whose lips flies
spread their poison, thousands OF res,
taurants and lunch counters where
flies are busy at the work OF thinning
out the human race.

Wild scenes, eliminating in a pill

cent all night sitting of the Australian
parliament. Because the opposition
continued obstruction tactics, the gov
eminent decided on an all night sit

ed the ministerialists with pillows and
blankets. The laborites. who were not
so comfortable, trying to sleep with
books as pillows and newspapers as
blankets, commenced removing the
blankets and pillows from their slum-
bering opponents and battle royal,
recalling nursery days was the result.
The melee nearly became riot. when
labor member struck the government
whip on the jaw. Efforts were made
to separate the fighters and soon al
most the whole membership of the
house was rolling on the floor. wrest-
ling. hitting and clawing. Finally the
antagonists were separated and the
blankets restored to their rightful own
ers. The debate then proceeded until
the government forced a vote, while
two of the labor members were out OF
the room. The house adjourned after
a twenty hours sitting.

authorized.
The complaint is constantly being
made of the graduate from liberal
arts college, that after receiving his
diploma he is literally unprepared to
fll position in the professional or
business world. With the idea In
view of negotiating this assertion the
hoard authorized the establishment OF
the business college. Henceforth the
Wesleyan student will have the oppor-
tunitv of securing along with his bach
alor,s degree a sound commercial edu-
cation.

and Of the most approved pattern will
be purchased and Installed by next

It was a village with mineral

The idea is to get spring the waters
of which will cure anything that ever

There were five old maids in the
village. This fact was not adver-

water doesn't make an old maid of

been killed by taking chances with it.
One of those who discovered that
there were five old maids in the vii
lage besides spring was a young
man who came from Boston, that the
mineral waters might relieve him of
some foreign substance which had
got into his stomach by way of his
throat and was playing hobs with
his piece of mind. One doctor had
told him that it was probably frog.
Another had strong suspicious that
1t was a mud turtle. A third con-
tended that he was almost sure he
could smell fish of some brand. The
fourth doctor studied the case for two
