/“COLLEGE STATION
NEVE! WAS ANY T'LACE
FE2 ME!”
Ntural Coincidence—Smith: “I was
reading in the paper this morning
about a Texas man who was struck by
lightning while he was swearing. Re
markable occurrence^ wasn’t it?”
Brown: “Oh, I don’t know If light
ning were to strike a Texas man while
he wasn’t sewaring ) it would be much
more remarkable.”
That Was All He: “I can trace my
ancestry back through nine genera
tions.” She: “What else can you
do?” Then he blinked and looked at
her as if he wondered how far he had
dropped.
Too Buoyant—“Why do you drink so
much?” said a clergyman to a helpless
drunkard. “To drown my troubles.”
“And do you succeed in drowning
them?” “No, hang ’em, they can
swim.”

1915 MANAGERS.
We are indeed fortunate in being
able to secure the services of such
able men as these that have been
chosen managers of our next year’s
teams. They are all progressive, ener
getic and possessed of all the qualifi
cations necessary to make successful
managers.
Of V. Smitham, the football man
ager for next year, little need be said,
as “Freddie” is one of the best known
men on the campus. As president of
the Junior class, he has been a dis
tinct success. Freddie is known to us
as a good scholar, good athlete and a
good sport.
“Dutch” Menke is well known to all
of us on account oi‘ his long residence
on the campus. He has an unlimited
amount of “gab,” and his ability as a
ticket seller can be ascertained by
seeing Louie Powell.
Dan Scott is another two-fisted
manager that will shoulder the trials
and tribulations of the track team.
Dan is a good leader, convincing talk
er and a man who will stand for his
rights to the last.
Charlie Davis will be the person
responsible for our basketball career
next season. Charlie is one of those
quiet chaps that always leaves a favor
able impression. We feel that the
basketball team need have no worry
as to their schedule for next year.
Coach Moran has expressed himself
as being well pleased with the man
agers selected for next year, and with
their co-operation we feel sure that
the college will do great things in the
line of intercollegiate sports.
My Dear—I know this missive will
surprise you, but to me life without
love would be a shadow and a failure,
and as the birds sing so sweet I write,
for no one who loves another as I
love you could possibly refrain. Many
days have I longed for the oppor
tunity to ask you a very delicate
question, but secretly in my own mind
I have debated the propriety of so
doing, first, because we are not quite
the same age, and second, because I
am not very well acquainted with your
parent. Absence makes the heart
grow fonder, and since last I saw you
I have spent many sleepless nights
tossing restlessly upon my pillow, see
ing now and then a vision of a happy
little home in a cottage built for two.
My heart is too full to write more on
this subject, and I will close my eyes
to fate and yield up my troubled soul
to you. So here I am, dear, humbly
kneeling at your feet, and I implore
you in the name of mercy and justice
to tell me when you think it will rain.

Cole’s Original

allows no smoke or gas to escape
into the room.
It scatters no soot or ashes.
It can’t. It’s made that way.
That is one of its virtues. It has
many more. Come in and let us
demonstrate them.
After that no other stove will suit
you.
Burns soft coal, hard coal or wood.
