There is nothing like being prepared
for an emergency. During a recitation,
not many days since, the Prof, corrected
a young man in regard to the pronuncia
tion of a word. The ever ready student
immediately went down into his pocket
and brought forth a small dictionary, and
proved himself to be correct. Had the dis
pute been in regard to a scriptural quota
tion, we doubt very much whether the
young man could have carried his point
by producing a pocket Bible as hia au
thority.
A prominent member of the faculty
recently had a very narrow escape from u
serious accident. "While hearing a class
he was leisurely leaning back in his chair

though the small man was trying to bor
row a half a dollar of the big one and
couldn't get it. The artist will please
rise and explain.
It was a model Thanksgiving day
cold, raw and blustering, an indoor day,
such as one loves to spend at the fireside,
with home and people- about him. Many
of the stores were closed, business was
partially suspended, and throughout jhc
day the streets wore a dcoidcdly quiet,
not to say solemn aspect Everybody
who were fortunate enough to have a
turkey lor dinner stayed at home and ate
it, and those who didn't stayed at home,
too, perhaps. Services were held at some
