The roommates gave each other

closed. well. Brother Colburn is a
mighty nice fellow" Fred said. Hes
kind of funny, though"
Ramsey nssented, and then, as the
two prepared for bed, they entered In
to further discussion Of their senior
friend. They liked him "all right"
they said, but he certainly must be
kind Of queer, and they couldn't just
see how he had "ever managed to get
where he was" In the frat" and the
Lumen and the university.
Ramsey passed the slightly disfg-
ured Linski on the campus next day
without betraying any embarrassment
or making n sign OF recognition. Fred
Mitchell told his roommate, chuckling,
thnt Linski had sworn to "get" him,
and. not knowing Fred's Affiliations,
had made him the confidant Of his
cath. Fred had given his blessing, he
said, upon the enterprise, and advised
Linski to use n brick. Hell hit YOU
on the head with It," said the light
hearted Fred falling back upon this
old joke. Then YOU can catch it as
1t bounces off and throw it back at

men loudly applanding his advocacy

distribution Of everybody's "propcrty,"

proper TO appear quite wr,lng with
laughter. Then he would rock him

ana spiutter through his fingers.
Linski accused him of being in the pay
of capital"
Next day the orator was unable TO
show himself upon the campus With
ont causing demonstrations whenever
he was seen file Of quickly gathering
students marched behind him chanting
repeatedly and denfcnlngly in chorus :
