Palisade, but now residing in Easton,
Pa, where Professor Crawford is as
sociated with Lafayette University,
We're presented with fine ten-pound

Little Bill Crawford, the sage of the
family, was greatly interested in the
new arrival, and as soon as he heard
of the great event, sought an inter-

looked the infant brother over, then
said by way of introducing himself,

feeling. Not getting an answer, Bill
looked considerably puzzled, but said
nothing more. All of the many
friends of the Crawfords in Palisade
will be rejoiced at this bit of happy
news and wish the proud parents ev-
cry joy and happiness.
Alan Carson, now at Lafayette Uni

Alan is much improved in general
way, and is possessed of Il certain evil

inheritance through his paternal par

Using boy. Alan is of the opinion that
EastOn is a lovely little city of proud
ideals, and also that Lafayette is the
most engaging college of all there are
in the country. Her prowess in ath-
letics, and emphasizing football espe-
cially, is now national asset, for the
whole country ranks Lafayette very,
very high.
