With so many hundreds of miles of newspaper columns to
be filled every day, what wonder that every child of six years
has "seen his name in the paper." American citizens arc
reared with the expectation of seeing themselves in print,
every so often, and they wax wroth if they do not. Every
granger who "goes off on a trip" must write a description
back to his country paper. Every little boy, nearly, owns a
printing press. Why, then, need anyone be at loss to char
acterize the American? He is the fellow who uses a printing
press.

About a dozen of the braver freshmen wore canes to chapel
the other morning, and seemed in a state of much trepida
tion lest some ruthless sqphomotc might be sitting within five
seats of them. When chapel was dismissed the sophomores
seemed in a great hurry to get out, but no more so than the
freshmen who hastened through the dqorway with their canes
at a "secure." A blockade scuflling canes caught and
cracking constantly pulling, twisting, jerking, grappling
and all the canes were broken but one, and nobody seemed to
know where it had sneaked away to. Some four or five of
the contestants were still tugging away over the remains of a
badly distorted cane for a trophy when the chancellor laid
his hands on their shoulders and remarked that they were
wanted in their class rooms. The 'statement had to be re
peated a few timesb cforc those in question fully realized its
force, but with some reluctance they all left the field of glory
and went to read pboui the triumph of Achilles, or study the
most improved method of modern warfare "a la Upton."
The next morning the surviving cane entered chapel very
cautiously and went out still more so, for not only were the
sophomores on hand and fully determined that it shqidd not
escape them, but the executives of the faculty were also in a
commanding position and just as determined that it should
not get out of chapel; but the poor threatened cane escaped
from all its enemies and now lives a retired life of peace and
happiness.
