 I d — di — didn't understand that que — que, — 

 question. 



Professor — Never mind the question. Tell 

 me something about it. 



Student — I don't know its atomic weight. 



Professor — Well, what is weight ? 



Student (Mr. O. N. Frankfurter)— Well, er— 

 er — it — it — it is centerpart of gravity, minus 2 

 molecules of H2O. 



Professor— Very good : aber nit (???) You 

 are very good at guessing. (You beat the 

 band.)

SECTION III. 



Ask Hill about the composition of air. He 

 has some very interesting facts to tell concern- 

 ing it. 



There are two college men in Section III. 

 White from the University of Mississippi and 

 Wells from Dartmouth College. 



The Heavenly Twins ( Kirchstein, 

 (. Lucina. 



By the time Gould gets his Ph. G. he will 

 certainly have earned it. He commutes every 

 day and his train leaves 5:30 A. M. 



Lucine— Oh, yes ; I knowed. I knowed it 

 already. Only I don't knowed it so quick. 



Some say that Davidson, our "little angel," 

 smokes. Ask him about it. Also if he had a 

 phenomenal voice when " young." How aged 

 he must be at the present time ! 



Cadmus believes in taking good exercise just 

 before quiz, both vocally and physically. Woe 

 to those who happen to be in the way of his 

 empty boxes, beans, paper balls, etc. 



Wanted— A position in some burlesque 

 company. Theatrical troupes will do well by 

 corresponding with me at once.

Annual dues, #1.00, payable quarterly. 



No initiation fee. 



The first smoker of the season will be held 

 in the Alumni Room on Wednesday evenings 

 January 26. Prizes will be awarded to the best 

 story tellers. Aspirants will therefore take 

 notice, as every guest will be eligible in the 

 contest. Students are cordially invited to at- 

 tend. 



Scheduled runs have been discontinued 

 until further notice. This, however, does not 

 deter the majority of our members from "brav- 

 ing the elements." 



AT the Alumni dinner, Chas. S. Erb was pre- 

 sented with a beautiful miniature hat covered 

 handsomely with the college colors, by Santa 

 Claus A very appropriate gift for a treasurer. 

 Rumor has it that Capt. Erb is negotiating for 

 a loan of it to facilitate matters, now that the 

 first quarterly dues are payable. 



Kirk was also remembered by the Old Gen- 

 tleman on the above mentioned occasion. He 

 received a "chainless safety" of the 2 cents per 

 card, bargain days only, variety. 



A large carriage builder is authority for the 

 statement, that the wheel is simply the 

 stepping stone to an equine equipage. We 

 should therefore look forward to the day when 

 we are to "follow the horses." 



IT is a deplorable fact that the department 

 stores will have control of many of the better 

 known wheels next season; several of them are 

 already booking orders for '98 models, listed 

 at $100, for prices ranging from $85 to $49.99. 



From the present outlook I should say the 

 chainless model will not be as popular as was 

 anticipated, for at least another season. Gear 

 cases will be considerably lighter and much 

 used, particularly by tourists.
