A WOMAN'S SWAY. To the man who has longings, de sires and hopes, Ideals that spring heavenward and glide down the slopes Of life's rugged pathway, much scarred in the strife, There's no other balm that can soothe like a wife. An ideal of devotion, she drives away care, Exhibiting virtues, she makes him beware Of evils and vices bestrewn far and wide, The misleading paths that would otherwise guide. A fair beacon she is in the dark gloomy night, Still leading his feet in the paths that are right: Her beauty so fair lies enthroned in his heart, And love, smote by Cupid's all powerful dart. Yet to none does this wonderful power belong, Save her whom he loves and en shrines in fair song, She, meantime, allowing naught that checks her ban, The God-given sceptre of Every woman. W. J. R. And the Cannon Mysteriously Moved to the Campus. Becoming weary of an unevent ful life on the State house grounds a cannon mysteriously moved itself to the campus last Saturday night, and, training its iron mouth upon the domicile of S. C. Mitchell, presi dent of the University, it got itself in readiness for action. As the night was dark it waited until morning to proceed to business, when, to its disappointment, it found a large white flag floating above the quar ters of the president. Its muffled tread and lack of rumbling was so complete that no one knew of its approach and the mystery surround ing .its magic powers is the one all absorbing topic of conversation on the campus. T. K. Vassy asserts that it charged him and crushed his foot without the slightest provocation whatever.

The Best Way to Spend Thirteen Cents in Twenty-four Hours. If any one on the campus would like to know the best and most satis factory way to spend thirteen cents a day, they would do well to confer with George Alexander Norwood. Mr. Norwood, who is some mathe matician and logician, has figured out that one glass of soda water and one cigar can be bought each day and every other day an extra nickel can be spent. Also every fifth day another five cents has accumulated and this can be splurged any way the spender desires. Mr. Norwood guarantees this procedure the best way to get rid of thirteen cents a day. Those desiring further infor mation may confer with him at his office in East Rutledge. What Crane Waring Says He Ob serves.

Taking an unfair advantage of Flinn Hall's philosopher's absence, Elliott completely and forever 'has taken the Lex canine from M. M. Johnson. Upon oath, administered by the Zulu lawyer, Mr. Metts, Elliott asserts that he is the pos sessor of a clog that will roar in laughter every time a broken-legged duck crosses the yard. As Mr. Scott verifies this statement, Mr. Johnson has conceded the pup to Elliott with a fee-simple title.
