The directors of the various college gym- 

 nasiums decided some time ago to hold 

 strength tests in order to determine the 

 strongest man in all the competing colleges 

 and universities. 



These tests have been held under the 

 following conditions : Every competitor had 

 to be a bona fide student in the institution 

 in which he is enrolled, and conform to the 

 description of an amateur as defined by the 

 Amateur Athletic Union, or by the Inter- 

 collegiate Athletic Association. All tests 

 were made consecutively in the required or- 

 der, and were completed in each case with- 

 in 15 minutes. 



All the colleges represented in the coun- 

 cil of directors are expected to soon publish 

 the records of the 50 strongest men exam- 

 ined this year. The best 10 will be chosen 

 from these, and at a final test the " college 

 champion " will be determined. Finally the 

 " college champions " are to contest, and 

 the winner will be termed the " intercol- 

 legiate champion." 



"My wife," said the tall, lantern jawed 

 man, "is as womanly a woman as you could 

 find, but she can hammer nails like light- 

 ning." 



"Wonderful!" sang the chorus. 



"Lightning;" the tall, lantern jawed man 

 continued, "seldom strikes twice in the 

 same place." — Cincinnati Enquirer. 



"He isn't exactly what I'd call an insin- 

 cere man," remarked Mr. Blykins, "and he 

 wants you to like him. But" 



"Yes," said the person who is always 

 eager to hear bad news about human na- 

 ture. 



"Well, he's the sort of man who will find 

 out what time you are sure to be too busy 

 to leave before he takes chances on asking 

 you out to lunch." — Washington Star. 



Miss Oldgirl: "Do you think Mr. Snif- 

 kins is sincere when he writes that he loves 

 me more than tongue can tell?" 



Miss Peachblow: "I daresay. He's 

 tongue-tied, you know. — Kansas City In-

Mrs. Hyde Park: "Have you fed the 

 chickens to-day?" 



Mr. Hyde Park: "Not exactly. I plant- 

 ed some Rower seed, though." — Kansas
