It was like running a clotlwsllne on a dark night After that was flnshed I tried news paper reporting and lasted two weeks, had the church run, nnd I know why t hoy call it a run now Those preach ers had me on the run all the time, one wiib up in the olucc looking for me one day, but 1 saw him coming Quoted one on the Immorality of tight Hkirts and got in bad again, announced a K. C. picnic a week before it was held (all Irish, too). I am now in a creamery holding my breath for fear t lint they will ask me to make a Habcock test before the book comes with the InstruetloiiH. I have stalled them off so far by pres sure of work, and here Is hoping they don't aBk mo to make some IUJTTER, for if they do I will be billed for a novr job. Have written to the dairy de partment for the shortest little Hhort course they ever gave; hope It gets here in time. Sincerely, PAUL T. STURGIS Hy the Cheerful Grouch FRATS A frat is an aggravated form of Hoelailbillty. living under a common roof and a commoner name, and point ing with pride to Its distinguished i pledges and honored alumni , Frats are divided Into fraternities i and sororities. In mnny instances, however, the distinction Is indistinct ' Many a house with auriferous hen tracks on the front door can not be classified by an examination of its front porch and parlor Frat pins, which are cheaper than engagement rings, and don't have to be fitted, are worn by frat men over the fourth floating rib. On frat .women they climb several notches higher In stead of pins, pledges wear buttons and pillows. The nnme of the frat is placed at the head of each chapter (Rattier a novel idea, that chapter thing.) The hiero glyphics attached to each Hellenic habitat are one of the greatest incent ives to the study of the clnsBics. After a student learns to distinguish between one of these places and a shoe-shining i stand lie becomes fired witli an ambi- tion to learn more about the cabalistic symbols Before the fire goes out he haH found out that a streak of light i ning, a pitchfork, and a hook and eye, minus the hook, denotes the resort of i Sigma Psi Omega. j Female frats are composed, if you can call them composed, of pulchrltu-, dinoiiH pippins, productive of prestige,1 and the other sisters, "who are not ex actly beautiful but have something aw fully attractive about them " These latter, by the way, possess Kansas farmers and trust magnates for pater- nal ancestors. A cIoro approximation of the amount due on the first chapter house can be I made by observing the ratio of offens ive to defensive players. (No offense meant.) i'rospectlve pledges have been discovered who qualified for both the Venus and Hetty Green classes, but none has ever survived the rushing reason.
