    THAT MOMENT.
He: Did you ever know a moment
when the very air throbbed with emo
tion?
She: Yes, yes!
He: When your heart felt like a
bird fluttering ’neath your hand.
She: Yes, yes!
He (drawing nearer): When the
whole world was centered so close to
you that eyes answered eyes?
She (edging away from him and his
eyes): Yes, yes, I have known it—I
have—I have.
He (more and more fervently): And
in that moment crowds years and
years of suffocating intensity?
She: Yes, yes, its memory will live
forever!
He (makes a move to take her in his
arms): And that moment—that mo
ment is—
She: Was—you wean was—yester
day when the score was three to noth
ing in favor of the other team, only
one minute left to play, our team on
the opponents’ thre-yard line, third
down and Bender’s signal being called
to buck the line for a touch.

soon to take up that part of the track
which runs by Mitchell Hall and to
stop near Lee’s Confectionery there
after.
SENIOR RINGS ARRIVE.
The senior rings have arrived, full
three weeks before they were promised,
and those seniors who were not able
to produce the cash for the final pay
ment have been rushing around try
ing to borrow the necessary coin from
their friends. In each ring is neatly
engraved the name and initials of the
owner. The editor observed one
senior wearing his ring upside clown
and asked him the reason for the in
novation. In reply the senior stept
up behind the editor and, placing his
arms about his neck, held out the
ring for him to see. Then it was that
the editor observed that under such
circumstances the ring was not up
side down.
NOT LAND POOR.
A New England farm hand was hoe
ing corn in the field when a stranger
came along and, leaning across the
fence, entered into a conversation
with him.
While talking to him the stranger
noticed how poor the land which he
was farming was, and remarked, “It
must keep you pretty poor, doesn’t it,
trying to make a living on this land?”
“Stranger,” said the farm hand, “I
am not as hard up as you think. I
don’t own this land.”

THE LAST Y. M. C. A. MEETING.
The Y. M. C. A. held what might be
called a round table meeting last Sun
day night. Mr. Steger introduced the
question, “Why Do We Come to Col
lege?” and called for answers from all
over the house. Not less than a half
dozen good reasons were given, among
them were: to increase individual ef
ficiency, to gain a broader viewpoint
upon life, to become acquainted with
the leaders of the rising generation, to
gain culture and refinement, and
many others. We venture that every
one in the house heard some good rea
son for coming to college advanced
that he had never heard before.
“What Has the College Life Done
for Me?” and “What Will It Do in the
Future?” were questions that were
taken up in a similar manner and with
as much profit.
The special music rendered was
a treat in itself and was appreciated
by all present.
The Anti-Swearing Club held a short
meeting immediately following the Y.
M. C. A. The attendance was the
largest yet recorded, which again dem
onstrates that the club is growing
healthily. Did you ever stop to think
that this is probably the only organ
ization of its kind in the State, and
may be in the United States? Can
you afford to miss the aid which this
club can give you in purifying your
speech ?
Think it over, resolve to join the
club and come out and get your picture
in,- the Long Horn.
BE A GENTLEMAN.
Be a gentleman, young man, for it
will pay you a golden rate of interest.
You will never get anywhere by re
turning surly answers. You might be
surprised to know that if you should
meet the president of a railroad and
ask him a civil question that you
would get a most courteous r ;
Walk into the biggest concern iii any
city and ask for the manager. He
wil meet you with a smile and return
the blandest answer to your query. It
is the ignorant cub in the county depot
or the window washer in a big coun
try office who hands back discourteous
answers, that is why they always re
main cubs and window washers. The
fellows who reach the presidency of
railroads and mangement of large
concerns do so because they are gen
tlemen and always return the soft re
ply. It costs nothing to be a gentle
man, and besides, you will find such a
route leads down beside still waters
and up through green valleys. The
churl plows through the mud of serf
dom and breathes the dust of slavery.
You choose the path, the gentleman
of churl.—Exchange.
MISCONSTRUED.
An American motoring through a
small Scotch town was pulled up for
excessive speed.
“Didn’t you see that notice, ‘Dead
Slow?’ ” inquired the policeman.
“ ’Course I did,” returned the Yank
ee, “but I thought it referred to your
durned little town!”—London Evening
Standard.
CAUTION.
A boy who had been absent from
school- for several days returned with
his throat carefully swahed, and pre
sented this note to his teacher:
“Please don’t let my son learn any
German today; his throat is so sore
he can hardly speak English.”—Every
body’s Magazine.
HIS WAIT.
Young Lawyer (having passed his
exams.)—“Well, I’m glad its over.
I’ve been working to death the last
few years trying to get’ my legal edu
cation.”
Old Lawyer—“Well, cheer up, my
boy; it’ll be a long time before you
have any more work to do.”—Boston
Transcript.
INSUFFERABLE.
“So you broke your engagement
with him?”
“Yes.”
“What for?”
“He’s a conceited thing. I simply
couldn’t stand him.”
“I never heard him brag. What
makes you think him conceited?”
“All the time we were engaged he
never once told me that he was un
worthy of my love.”—Detroit Free-
Press.
