. One Little Word

LiIe And Decrth

"Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud, and the only answer is the echo oi our wailing cry. From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word; but in the night of death hope sees a star, and listqning love can heaq the rustle of a wing."

-Robert G. Ingersoll.

- Academic Freedom

Gov. Allen Shivers, of Texas, tells a story on a college professor he knows, who was awakened late one night by a student who was manifestly drunk, and who wanted to debate with him the matter of academic freedom. Sensing his caller's condition, the professor said: "If you will call me when you h'ave sobered up, I will be glad to discuss academic freedom with you."

"But, Professor;t' thi "stqdent said, "When I'm sober I don't give a danin about academic freedom."

Adversity

A LcdY All Jllive

Qh, she was a lady all alive: She bedeviled the beaux Who would woo and wive; She woie sackcloth but no ashes, She wore beads, and Purple sashesShe wore feathers, and fine fanciesl Going to routs, and plays, and dances. With gew-gaws, rvhims, and silver dresses, And pearls in curls, And twirls of tresses.

Her jewels shone like midnight marchers,. Her hair built high as Lady.Archer's, Witih broaches, wings, and wonders wiry, Her witchy face- was fine and'fierY. , Her hoop it nearly spread an hcre, She was a credit to her Maker.

Her Maker was pleased fle could contrive, Such a lady'a11 "1i,tt. -Rose O'Neil.

Not Prcrctical

"Farmer Blunt,'! asked the college student who was working as a farmhand during his vacation, "do you think I'll ever become a successful agribulturist?"

"You may," said F'armer Blunt; "but you'll sure make a farmer."

Many a sailop, bold and brave, Is living now with a permanent Wave.

Morcrlity

Man is so essentially, so necessarily, a moral being, that when he denies the existence ofall morality, that very denial already becomes the foundation for a new morality.

-Maeterlinck.
