That long-looked-for event, the meeting of the Freshman Class. was held \Vednesday afternoon. At the appointed time, 2:45, white faced freshmen, hair standing on end from great fear, gathered in a semi circle in front of the chapel. At the call of the wicked sophomores and other upper classmen, the timid fresh men slipped into the chapel with great fear. The doors being securely bolted with all freshmen within, the sopho more fire department turned on the water. The freshmen. much crest fallen and bedraggled. retreated under the galleries out of reach of the water, only to be dislodged by the cannonade of firecrackers. They made a dash for the doors. and, forcing the lock, streameld out in front of the chapel. Itit, hush, a great commotion with out; Dr. Mitchell has arrived. With many a courtly how, and expressions of "thank ye r. "profoundly grateful. indeed," '" well." lie swept into the chapel, followed by the meek. bedrag gled freshmen. The horrid, grinning sophlomlores arrangedl themselves arounid the gallery railing and v'ented thir anger by gla ring at the tiid( fresh imeni.

A-t the close of thme meeting. the fire dlenartment again enm~1( a oiel..e of water and the freshmen retreated pnanic-stricken. "History repeats it self," so this freshman meeting, like the ones of past years, goes down in the history of the University as a memorable occasion. Sophomore Class Meeting. The Sophomores are in their glory. With trousers rolled high, displaying dainty sox of varied hue, they met in the chapel, and, amid great tumult, abhorring all calling for parliamentary laws, they elected the following offi cers: President. C. W. Covington. \ice President, C. T. FitzSimmons. Secretary and Treasurer, J. E. El"liot. Hlistorian, i. Al itchcll. I fonor System Representative. R. . Purdy.

The Heating Plant. After many years of fire-building and wood-carrying, the University is at last to have a central heating plant, to incorporate all the buildings. The power house, oin which work has al ready been coniemced, will stand at the corner of Green and P3ickens streets, oi the plot opposite the In fi rma ry. The contract for the building to house the boilers went to the Blue Ridge Construction Co., of Columbia, and the boilers will be installed by the W. I. Gu1imiar-in Company, also of this city. The plan is to put in this year two boilers ald Itunl conlduits to the In firmary, D av is College and the Science I hall, aind to add the rest of the p)lanlt when further applropriations can lie had for the pulrpose. WVhenm compllete, every buildinog will have its steam conduit andl be suplplied with heat from the b)oiler house. (fcourse, this is a great step) in the history of the University, eliminatinig miost of the dlanger from lire and in creasing greatly the convenienice of the dormitories. but still it will be hard in imany ways to exchange our pe l)i ires for iron radiators andl have no mor.e of their mellow glow in our rooms on a winter's day, but a grim stack on the green. po~urinig upl clouds of smoke. 1ITC(l the "Bird." BIRD SEED. "Sir, I wish to make your daughter my wife," said tile young hero. The old man (hesitatingly) "Hadn't you better see her mother first ?" he asked finally. "Oh, I've seen her mothe/' and it doesn't make a bit of difference, I'll risk the chances," exclaimed the young man with all the arder of honest love. "And where's all your luggage, John Hoey," asked "Kid" McNair, on first seeing John. "Lost," said John. "Lost? All your luggage ?" "Every bit of it." said John, sadly. "And how did it happen ?" asked "Kid." "The devil of a cork came out," an swered Mr. I-loey. TI.\E IS MONEY. Two Irishmen were in a city bank waiting their turn at the cashier's win dOw.

Second Dutchman: "Vhy don't you take something for it?" First Dutchman: "How much will you gif me?" Darkness. Havc you ever stood in the darkness and listened to the voices of the night? A thousand sounds, complex, com mingled. float upon the air, while among some high leaves the locust, joined now and then by a fellow, sings his sweetest monotone. IBrowsing in a nearby pasture the Jersey lows softly to her calf. It an swers plaintively from among the wil lows (vhere it has strayed. From a house, lost miles away be hind hills and woods, a hound moans to the moon. The mystic voice of the wlhip-poor will, rising and dying with the lullaby of the locusts, is now caught by the air from the far borders of the wood, now bursts into hearing from the long grasses at your very feet. In their distant pasture beside the brook young lambs are bleating. And occasionally in their feeding sounds the silver tinkle of their bells. J. B.
