The Thanksgiving number of the Her
ald has been received, and we welcome
it as a first-class college paper.
The November issue of the Baylor
Literary contains a very humorous
story of “My First Fishing Trip.”
And while we are on the subject of
trusts, there is the corset trust. That
has undoubtedly come to “stay.” And
think of the people it has “squeezed!”
It goes to “waist,” but sometimes it is
hard to get around it. In spite of the
money behind it, it is generally on the
verge of a “bust.” But there is one
thing that can be said about it—it is dis
tinctly and at all times “anti-expan
sion.”—St. Louis Republic.
Man was wont to say:
“Little drops of water.
Little grains of sand.
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.”
Now he gets “educated” and says:
“Infinitesimal particles of saline humec-
five fluidity,
Minute corpuscles of discrete non-ad
hering silicious matter
Conjointly cause to exist the immeasur
able expanse of hydrogen mon ox
ide
And the resplendent superfices of dry
solidity.”
“Clear out, now,” commanded the
housewife, “or IT1 set the dog on you.”
“He wouldn’t hatch nothin’, lady,”
shouted back the tramp; “I’m a bad
egg-”
The College Barometer has in the No
vember number several fine photo-en
gravings of the College buildings.
Josh Billings says: “Laff every time
you feel tickled, and laff once in awhile,
anyhow.”—Columbian.
The Tennessee Magazine is by far the
best exchange on our list. The sketches
by the Misses Wiley are worthy of Gib
son himself, and add very materially
to the value of the paper. The editor-
in chief is a splendid writer, both of fic
tion and of poetry, and deserves much
praise for the interest he takes in the
paper.
“The classes will meet here to-morrow
at 10 o’clock,” was what the professor
had written upon the hoard; but one
of the students who arrived a little
early erased the “c” and was much
amused at the professor’s peculiar look
as he noted the change. “Two can play
at that game,” was the teacher’s only
remark, as he coolly erased the “1,” to
the general discomfiture of the students.
The Southwestern University Maga
zine would be greatly improved if a few
sketches were inserted.
