A Prediction; ofr, What Will -He Say. "I-lark! a sound I hear ; grunt ing in the night-and yet, vaguely familiar-ah ! It , is a misspelt laugh. A rush of flecting feet; an angry hackman oath, an( all is still. Upon my whiskers, i-f the distance (oes not yield a chesty form, as of Frowsy Bill. Again the swinish laugh-no doubt now (louder). Hley, Frowsy, back from the depths of dismal Florida's far-famed 1Ever glad'es? Is flim-Ilammiing fat in' Florida?" "Why, hello, kiddo! ! - ( ) x Glad to see you. Yes. I arrive(d. Friday. You know I had such a.big time at Abbeville that I could not leave." Choke chanticleer, no croving permitted. * * * Mr. George Norwood has -recov ered from an attack of "pateritis." This is simply an imaginary malady. * * * Mr. E. ). Ellis stood the examina tion for West Point here last week. We hope him much luck. It seems as thougi an appointment to the army school has been his great as piration, or at least it seems so from his walk. This space reserved for Mr. 1.. A. Kirklan(l, who takes a weekly trip to Camden. * * * Mr. J. 1l. Ileyward left Wednes (lay afternoon for his winter home at White H1lall (in the low country), to be present at the wedding of his sister. "Rooster," "chicken" or 'Chanticleer" (from which you may choose as to being the most poetic) will have quite a rengthyl holiday, and is debating in his mind whether to leave any deer in the swamps. Please dIon't cause another missing link. * * * Quite a number of students of lie University are planning a trip to Argentina Republic, where they hope to get work with some en gineering concern. Carolina men have left the imprint of their heels in the mud of nearly every jungle. If this trip is a success, it will do a lot for Carolina by opening a new stream for the flow of her brainy men. * * * One cock-tail will convert a leak ing water wagon into the Wright p)lanle-o'-air. A Soliloquy. I fully realize and appreciate the ferocious immorality and degrada tion of a b)ooz'e artist's life ; but it is pretty risky to be on the water wagon this cold weather, for fear the cussed thing wvill freeze over. Mr. C. G. H-ounshell, formerly a missionary in Korea, no0w traveling seclietary of the Student Volunteer Movement,. will speak at Flinin I fall tonlighit at 7:30. Mr. Hounshell is an interesting speaker, so it is hoped that many will come out to hear him. Remem h)er. inan -all, a 7:3. The New King of Birds. The eagle no longer is kiig of the birds; Another has come in his stead; The aeroplane is now breasting the air, And all of its rivals are fled. And upward it soars with its forty foot wings A-spread as it catches the breeze, A-bound for the vaults of the ocean of skies, The depths of aerial seas. The lord of the land, and the lord of the seas. Has mastered the wavering air; Is skimming the clouds with their unborn rain, And wafting an indropped tear. -Chicken. Composed by the poetically in clined "chicken" while watching the Curtiss "man-bird" soar at the fair ground last week.-Ed. A Cure for Love. Take twelve ounces of dislike and a pound of resolution, two grains of common sense, two ounces of exper.ience, a large sprig of time and three (uarts of cooling water of consideration. Set these words over the gentle fire of love,- sweeten with sugar of forgetfulness; skim it with a spoon of melancholy, and put it in the bottom of your heart. Cork it with the cork of clear conscience, let it remain and you vill quickly find case an(d be returned to your sense. These things can be had of the apothecary at the home of under I standing, next door to reason on prudence street, in the village of contentient.-Ex. Broke Up the Game. The two football teams are facing each other. 'Tlense an( quivering the oppos ing men await the signal that shall put the ball in play and hurl them each against each in that fierce shock of battle. The quarterback begins calling the code: ".6, 35, 22, 17," he shouts. At that instant the left tackle, who is making his way through col lege by understudying a tailor, absent-niindedly asks: "Side or top pockets?"-Ex. Prof. Colcock in Washington Last Week.
