any one to move in who was
evicted.
When once a landlord brings

When Lew Sare% poet OF the

presenting his offerings are so
unique, that as speaker he is
diff to catalogue. He seems to
be in class by himself. However,

ly. and before leaving the plat
form he made separate address
to the students on what a college
home coming should mean to mem
bers of the alumni who revisit their
alma mater. 1t quite won their
hearts, and he was told in college
yells that he was all right"
For over an hour he gave read
ings from his book. MANY. Many

squaws and dancing bucks and wee
pappooses, and Indian life in gen
eral.
He gave almost perfect imita-
tons OF the call of the moose, the
VOLTS howl. the boot of the owl,
and many other denizens of the
wilds, and told some splendid stor-
les in the patois of the French Can
adam.
II. as people say. he is differ
ent," maybe it is because of his
history. AS lad he faced poverty
and privation in one of the poor
