cess. While he is not occupying the position
as star of his class, yet his markings are
above the class average. During the four
years he has been in the Franklin he has
been one of the most generally popular
pupils in the school. He early developed
into fine gridron athlete and succeeded
in making the Franklin football squad the

Two men were in hot dispute and one
of them branded the other "a dirty s. b.
which is looked upon as the most oprobrious
epithet that one man can apply to another.
Number one went to pieces in minute and
cleared for fighting, but friend of his
interfered and appealed to him to not lose
his dignity and have a street broil. "But.
he has called me dirty name,'' he scream
ed to his friend ''That's true, for heard
him, but you are not that and everybody
knows it, and in calling you that he has
most woefully lied and you have not the
time to 90 round licking all the liars in
