A young man paused to offer his

victory came his way. Then he
stra ghtened up his rIckety joints and

he admitted, as genially as his joints
would allow. "But you know the old
saying:

And yet he didn't look as lucky as

Not every commencement speaker
has said precisely what he wished TO
say to the young people before him.
One was tripped by a most unhappy
lapsus Iinguae at a young ladies' semi
nary.
He meant 10 say: "But
have talked too long. and do
NOT wish 10 speak 10 weary
benches" Instead OF which he said
''beeey wenches"" Thereby reminding
us of Tutor Spooner of oxford. who
thus addressed meeting of farmers !:
1T Is gratifying TO me to behold 50
many tons of soil"
But a university lecturer lately
matched these infelicities when he
said: "rm not going TO talk very
long, hut If you get what I'm going TO
say In Jour heads you'll have the
whole thing In q nutshell"
There's many q true word spoken In
