THE BATTALION, College Station, Texas. Who was the first lieutenant who told his company to march straight up? Well, I guess it was the “ice cream blonde.” Mr. Robert Dinwiddle returned from the World’s fair last week and says he had a nice time.

Do you people suppose I am tired of liv ing? Not by a sight! I am afraid you would smother me if you got half a chance with NH 3 or some such stuff. Some of you have made several unsuccessful attempts at it already. College Dpatnatie Club.
