She Ah I then of course I'm wrong. No, you cannot mean the youth fresh from college. Transcript. Our wise contemporary is pleased to rank our highly esteemed business manager and oursclf among the poets. Such recognition of exalted merit is greatly appreciated. We owe too much to the kind hand that wrote a certain couplet in the last Nebraskan to say anything by way of ciiticism in return. We would, however, recom mend one thing to his honor, the sand-burr artist. Tread lightly the paths that lead to room 25. Little Sing Yek (a Hong Kong lad) Hi-ya, Vang Lee ! Heap muchee big bug hoppec outee hole in glound ? Comee see ! The Big Bug (speaking English) Aw ! Come oft"! I'm no bug. I am the frog that, according to the arithmetic, fell into the well many, many long years ago and tried to get out by jumping up ten feet each day and falling back thirteen. It has been a long, tiresome journey, but I'm thankful to say I'm here at last. Mrs. Deland, who wrote "John Ward, Preach er," has been the celebrity of the Deland family. Mr. Lorin F. Deland might have been best known generally as Mrs. Deland's husband, even about Boston, had he not invented a foot-ball trick. The evolution of the "flying wedge," with a "funnel for the runner," from a scheme of theory into a telling evolution of the goaled field, has made Mr. Deland a man whose name is spoken and written about as much and as widely as .his wife's was after her book was published.

Set up the ruins of Herculaneum, and distribute the small pox; you need not finish that run-away match, but have the high water in the paper this week. Put a new head to General Grant, and lock up Jeff Davis; slide that old dead matter into hell, and let that pie alone until after dinner. You can put the Ladies Fair to press, and then go to the devil and put him to work on Deacon Fogy'.s article on ' Eternal punishment.' " Notre Dame Scholastic. Every once in a while, an exchange editor, tiring of the same old stale jokes and news that appear in the various college papers, vents his wrath on the yielding air.

If the fact vt hat a Chinese woman is studying at Ann Arbor appears 468 times in as many papers, this is but a sign that 46S editors are finding out a bit of news that is, of itself, interesting.

"Oh, I know much," she made reply; "1 know of Homer and Moliere; I can make poetry if I try, Or send sonatas with a crash Out of my three-legged parlor grand; Play Wagner with terrific dash, And 'Home, Swee) Home,' with my left hand; Also can I whenever I please, Variegate the general din, Removing with dispatch and ease Concertos from my violin; I know talking, dancing.
