THE BATTALION.
The College Paper from the Oklahoma
A. and M., contains two good articles—
Work, and advice to boys who are hunt
ing easy jobs. Boys, you should have a
larger staff of editors.
The Bed and White, from the A. and
M. of Nortn Carolina, is one of odr reg
ular exchanges.
Among our exchanges we find none
more interesting than the September
number of the, Baylor Literature.
M. H. Aerolith, from the Mission
House College, Sheboygan, Wis., contains
some interesting articles.
About all some women do when they
clean up the house is to change the beds
from one side to the other.
The Mt. St. Marys Record contains in
the October number a continued article,
“Cap’n Chris,” which is very good. We
wish to congratulate the editors of this
paper on the neatness and arrangement
of its articles.
Any woman can sharpen a lead pencil
—if you give her plenty of time and
plenty of pencils.
The sweetest woman on earth is the
one who can keep her mouth closed the
longest.
Eve is the only woman on record who
never turned around to see what the
other woman had on.
If mother Eve had known as mucn as
some of her daughters, what a fool she
would have made of that snake.
You can tell the exact age of a tree
by its rings; but this rule does not apply
in the case of the society lady.
A FAIRY TALB-UP TO NOW.
Once upon a time there was a great
College, and many students drank of its
fountains of knowledge.
Now this College had a paper that was
published by the Students for the good of
the Students. Straightway everybody
marched up to the Manager and planked
down his little plunk.
And there was a great rivalry among
the Students to see who could write the
most aqd best articles to contribute to
this paper. So the Editor and Manager
were kept busy attending to the contri
butions both of Literature and Money,
and the paper was a howling success.
When the paper came out, not a mur
mur was to be heard, and oaths and
curses were not heaped on the defenseless
pate of the Manager because he did not
get out an interesting paper.
Everybody took a great pride in the
paper and made it the greatest of Col
lege Magazines.
But this only a fairy tale.
