Cljc iEa?tlra at? ^oa??jroii WEDNESDAY, APHIL S, iSSG. ApriPs Fcois at Winthrop. Th. girls at Wintbop College arose about balf-past three and the h H ? I ^ ra Dg with peals of laughter, and veli?, and were crowded from end to ecu with merry, good natured girls. First, we saw that the President, Matron and teachers were all well secured in their rooms by ropes. Some took it very good naturedly, while the blaze in the eyes and clenched teeth told that temper held full control over others. The baby cried, and cried BO ?hat "papa," becoming somewhat nervous, longed to be ont of bis cage. He used all of the water in the room, throwing it over the transom at the excited crowd outside ; but it was of no avail, finally a happy thought-struck bim, and be took the latch off the door. "My goodness, man, why didcrtyou think of that before 1"-Farmer. "A friend in Deed is a friend indeed." So our charming Professor forgot about stars and figures for once and let the prisoner opposite him out. Oh, my ! but didn't our nice trunk ropes get cut right and left? But every time we saw that old knife light upon one, cheer upon cheer arose and the neigh? bors wondered if the college was OD fire. ' Goodness! 'twas time for breakfast and the rising bell had not rung. What was the matter? But presently a few faint strokes were heard and the girls went down to breakfast. Saltea coffee, sugared butter and sticky chairs. We take unusually long to eat. Cur good natured President gets up and with a gentle tap on his glass, says : "Girls, I know my 'April fool' will be au acceptable one. I won't ring any bell for you to retire from breakfast." Everybody cheered and we put his gong back by his plate. The master key was found and every door in the main building locked. Two of our best natured teachers found, to their astonish? ment, that they, were locked in their recita? tion rooms. The janitor couldn't get io the bell room to riDg the bell. As the hymn books were hidden, we sang, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name !" Classes reported as usual, for there was no "April fool" in store for us. What was everybody laughing about? Why, Miss-was trying to fi od some chalk, and Mr. - was looking for erasers, while the alarm clocks were going off every two seconds in Prof. -'s room, and the girls were answering, '"Unprepared" to his many questions. At lunch the teachers' chairs were tied to the tables, and what do ) ou think ? we tied that charming Prof's chair to dear Miss -'s. Didn't they blush, though ? We were to wend our way to the woods this af'.ernooD, but it rained, and rained, so that our plan was washed away.' Last, but not least, every globe was found to be off of the lights, and how could we stcdy iu the dark ? Well, we've bad the ,:moste3t" fun, and the only trouble is that "April fool's day" don't come oftener. I don't think we car? ried it too far ; hope not anyway. But the morrow will prove it. 1st Teacher-"Really, this is ju3t dread? ful." 2nd Teacher-"I think so too. Let's call a faculty meeting." 3d Teacher-"Why, let the giris have some fun." 4th Teacher -"It is poor fun, I ihiok, to make a lady get up at fout o'clock, when she works so hard all day." 2nd "Why, my goodness ! I used to be a school girl myself." 5th "Expel 'em ! expel 'em ! ? expel 'em ! !!" Prof. J. "April come but once a year, let the girls have their fun." That settles it. ' SUMTER GIRL " A Household Treasure. D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, >.'.
