oi the junioi class and prominent in
cioss count ly, mterclass debating and
dramatic circles, recently indulged in
a pleasant tiip with the geology class
that was .sent lrom the University
lo: tne purpose of doing some typo
graphical mapping Whether he did
any of the aforesaid typographical
mapping cannot be said- with cer
tainty, but we enture to remark that
Harold M came into contact with a
tiw facts that will be of mighty value
in his educational career and to the
i.al importance of which he has not
ai : ived.
The time for those on the trip drag
ting hea, it was decided that the
-nipc whhh it was alleged were mini
clous in the icinity should be made
to tickle the palates of the visitors
and it being lound necessary to catch
th- fowl betoie tendering them into
edible form, Harold was given the
opportunit to display his sportsmans
like capabilities by holding the bag
into which his lriends, who had con-'
sented to play the menial part; ordin
arily taken b the "pointer" and "set-'
tei" canines, were to drive the birds.
Harold accordingly took his position
bag in hand, to rope in the unsuspect
ing foul in the most masterly and dra
matic manner possible. His assistant
immediately got on the job some
where and Harold waited for some
two hours while the shades of night,
in spite of all his efforts to prevent
them doing so until he should make
hib haul, wore falling fast. i
