A Word To The Wise

Oh, pray lend me an ear a minute,
A tale I'd tell to you, --.,
Of some comical things at Normal
Things that "grown-ups" DO.
The Normal School at Towson,
Is on a hill, you see,
And the dormitorys on the valley
Where sleeps the likes O. me.
At ten o'clock every night,
We "Brats" are put to bed
Or. that is, the lights go out,
And Miss Page becomes a dread.
For she patrols The hail you see,
AS she patrols the walk,
On Sunday eve when young men,
Call-tO see that we all talk.
And then at six every morn,
An awful bell peals out,
We must arise-and in the dark,
Or you'll be put to rout.
At 7:l0 We downward march,
In prison file so gay
To sup on what's before us laid,
No matter what the day.
Then back we troop up the stairs,
And our rooms must have no dust,
When Pagie comes around to see
For come she shall and must.
And then at $40 over to school, $.
We diligently WELD our way
And there we speak and nod and look
At knowledge in garb SO gay.
And if we can, we grasp some of it,
And hold a marvellous feat!
Until vacation and exams begin to
come,
Mercy, Mercy, Oh, how sweet
At three o'clock-home we come,
To rest for the nights long hours,
Innocence, No! But over to gym,
We go till 4 to test our enduring
powr's.
And then, from to 5 we have,
One wee hour of our own,
To rest, perhaps, or run an. errand.
And study from So o-hoonI
From $3.50 at the table we appear
Assuming gayety and pleasure
From $50 to Z dancing we do, g..
Dancing without measure
And then from to half-past 10,
Why l am back where started!
If always the Circle were this short
time. .....-- so
We ne'er would have; would have
parted.
I'd never advise a loved one,
Ut u 1EI0uu 4s.Iu0uSut, I'll 1uuCQp
To follow the Path Of the Normal
School, -..--.
For an evening. I'd suggest a
'crutch. r7 .a-
Housewives mourn monotony,
Farmers mourn the drudge,
"No School" spells lack Of know
ledge,
But oh, for a righteous judge.
Housewives and farmers stay lat
home"
Eeach morn awake in their own
places"
With home folks, loved ones near,
Not stranger, alien faces.
You may pirate of the joys of board
ing school life,
Feeds, etc., and friends at school,
But if you say eve ought to be
happy here"
Come try it-You'll say you're
fool"

ICY PAVEMENTS CAUSE
MANY PERSONS TO FALL
Slippery Pavements All Over Cam
bridge Result In Many Persons
Sustaining Falls. No One SesiOuS-
" Injured.

With the fall of about an inch of
| snow this morning on the already
icy pavements of Cambridge, persons
having occasion TO use the pave
n.ents had to be on the watcn at
every step. The old familiar slo-
gan, Watch Your Step" was GER
| tainly not only in order but care
| fully followed.
Despite the care of all, old and
young, many falls were received,
| some of which caused bruises, cuts,
sprains, etc. but none of which, SO
far as has been learned at this Office
have resulted in broken bones in in
ternal injuries.
One of the first cases reported this
morning was that of Mr.. L. Philip
Skinner, who slipped and fell with
such force that he cut a deep cash
in his chin and was badly shaken up
Mrs. Thomas Hughlett fell on High
street and was badly shaken up and
bruised but an examination did not
disclose any broken bones; she was
taken to the hospital by DR.. Steele
in order that a more careful exami-
natio might be made and that she
might have the service Of the nurses
while recovering from the shock.
Captain John H. Phillips sustain
ed bad fall and at first it was
thought that be sustained a broken
limb and perhaps fractured rib but
after being carefully examined 1t
was found that his injuries consist
ed principally of being Jared by his
fall.
There were numerous other in
stances of falls, but the above are |
the most serious ones reported. |
There were other falls that turned |
cut to be ludiorous, since they were |
hot serious; such for instance as |
those where gentIeman's bicycle |
rode light from under him, leaving !
him standing in the middle of the |
street looking to see If anyone had |
seen him. Another younger gentle
man had both feet slip, instantane-
ously, from under him with the re-
suit that he seemed to bounce up and
down; and he too, glanced around to
see if anyone was looking at him.
Then there were some young ladies,
who just very gracefully connected
" it'll the pavement in an unexpected
NJ Gamer, and, of course, they all
looked to see if anyone was looking.

IT WAS ALL ORDINARY.

when the county agent read the
following clever editorial-story in
the Southern Agriculturist he
frowned Later he took his pen
knife ont and ran il through the
paper for a clipping for thought
ful farmers to read and ponder
over:
Once upon time there was a
man named Smith. an ordinary
sort Of man. who lived on an ordin-
ary sort OF farm in an ordinary
sort Of community. making an or
dinary sort Of living for an ordinary
family, sending an ordinary bunch
Of boys and girls 10 an ordinary
school driving to town over an or
dinary road. selling ordinary farm
products at ordinary prices and
buying the things an ordinary far
me buys at the price he ordinarily
pays.
After awhile. however. an ex-
fraordinary idea got loose IN this
mans neighborhood. The neigh
bors. or some Of them. decided that
the ordinary sort Of school would
no longer do for their children. So
they proposed TO make q. new school
district. levy a tax on themselves.
build a better sehoolhouse. and en-
ploy better teachers. This ordin-
ary man named Smith thought it a
very extraordinay thing that any
body should propose to increase
his own taxes I'm agin il. he
said; our schools as good as the
ordinary. an we can't afford to
-aise the taxes any" But his
who were little less
carried il over him. and
soon his children were going 10 p
school entirely out Of the ordinary
.or them.

was really bit extraordinary when !

5i-arv ,ncn "sGch taxes as that-i

igsin his neighbors ran the thing
over hin. He did the ordinary
mount Of grum bling about the in
.ressed taxes. but soon was getting ;
% town in half the ordinary time,
and his farm was worth nearly !
vice what he had ordinarily asked Q

Then some OF the neighbOrs de- j
