In the summer we had lot of young
chickens for frying, and this fall we
had left over a rooster and hen. AS
they grew up the meanness of the
rooster toward the hen was the scandal
Of the neighborhood. He would never
let her have anything to eat, and
seemed to take a delight in it. When
he crowed, we seemed to detect a dec
laration like this:
II eat up everything from the old
hen! Hurrahi"
Adelaide and Lady Preston used to
look at me in a funny way every time
the rooster came up for discussion,
which was pretty often, as he was
nearly always hanging around the
kitchen and looking in the windows as
though wondering when he would
again have the privilege of gobbling
up everything and forcing the hen to
go hungry.
But when we killed them the hen
was fatter than the rooster; in spite
of the terrible manner in which she
was imposed upon, she seemed to get
along all right.

A Personal Question

A party of strangers were visiting at the college. It was in the late fall, and the air was crisp and cold. One of the members fthe party, charm ing woman, was escorted through the grounds by a learned but very much preoccupied professor. Suddenly two members of the track team, accoutred for their sport, passed them.
 "It's dreadfully cold" remarked the young woman, with dainty shiver, as she gazed after the runners, "to be without stockings"
 The professors mind, deep in con temptation of the fourth dimension, was attracted by the sound of the girls voice.
 "Then why" he asked absently, "did you leave them off 2"

Leap Year Normal Dance

Flowers, music and lively girls in lovely gowns form an attractive set ting at any time but particularly so when 'tis in honor of St. Valentine and the year of all years favorable to such events-Leap Year-1916.
 The girls of Bury and Morton halls were delightful hostesses on last Fri day evening at dancing party. As their guests, numbering two hundred, assembled in the dining hall that evening, they knew nothing had been spared to make the evening one long to be remembered.
 The elaborate decorations of hearts and cupids spoke eloquently of the happy season and the receiving line held attractions which one was loath to leave in order to make room for others greetings. The grand march was an attractive one led most grace fully by MT. and Mrs. E. E. Rosen- berry, who presented to the guests many new and lovely figures.
 After the march the programs were distributed and the real Leap Year part began for the fair ladies sought their partners, filling their own pro- grams--an experience perhaps strange to the boys but affording amusement and pleasure to the girls.
 Punch was served during the even ing and after delightful hours dancing to the strains of the three pieced orchestra the guests said their adieus with unanimously expressed pleasure for the evening.

General Club Meeting

On last Saturday afternoon the General Club held a most interesting session at Emerson school. Promptly at three the meeting was called to order but the roll call of the secretary found few but the Advisory Board present.
 However the attendance came up to about thirty-five who listened atten- lively to the very splendid report of Mrs. Honn, the delegate sent by the Club to the state Federation of Clubs held in Tucson on the 19-2lst of January. The entire membership of the Club would have found it profit able to have been present for many questions were answered which have often come up for consideration.
 The one great fact gathered from the report that is worthy of notice here, is the point that our own club made favorable showing at the con vention. The work done during the past year showed most favorably in comparison with the work done by other clubs in the state. What a splendid record we can make for the coming year with an increased mem bership, the experience of failures and successes of two years of club work behind us, and president to lead us, who also attended the state conven- ton and comes back full of new plans for more efficient work for the year.
 A especially prepared program be- fitting the day-the anniversary of Lincoln-was given by the members of the Art and Literature department. First came flag drill by eight girls under the direction of Miss Louder milch. Mrs. H. E. Johnston gave a most beautiful rendition of "The Per feet Tribute" Mrs. G. T. Backus fol lowed with an instrumental program and Mrs. V. M. Slipher closed the program with Walt Whitman's lines on LincoIn's death-"Captain, My Captain"
