OF PAST WEEK

in a most charminng and unique way.
This occasion was to celebrate their
birthdays
As the invitations read “Tacky
Party,” the ladies did their best, sal
lying forth in all of their glory in the
most antiquated chapeaux, coiffures
and costumes.
Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch
and all of her children arrived just
in time, each one presenting the
hostesses birthday gifts of various
sizes and shapes. The opening of
these packages afforded much amuse
ment.
The Dam Family were also present,
ranging from the grandpa and grand
ma to the baby, cat and dog. This
family was quite musical, especially
Jerimiah Perafine Dam, who gave sev
eral noted selections of ragtime.
Mrs. John Burns, chosen as the
tackiest won as a prize a beautiful cut
glass bon bon dish. Mrs. Burns made
a very appropriate speech.
Many games and contests suitable
to the occasion were played after
which a grand march was formed led
by the host and hostess.
The house was beautiful with many
potted plants and house ferns.
In the dining room the table was
laid with a beautiful lace cloth. In
the center was a large birthday cake
decorated with small red candles in
the form of two question marks

Mrs. W. B. Bizzell was chosen to cut
the cake first. After several attempts
with a very harp knife it was dis
covered to be a large tin pan iced.
Then each guest was requested to pull
one of the red ribbons attached to the
bottom of the cake. The ends of these
ribbons told the fortune of the one who
pulled it out.
A delicious salad course was served.
INFORM YOURSELF ABOUT
THE EXPOSITION
It would not be a bad idea to ask
the home folks about your prospects
for making the Frisco trip in your
letter home asking for your second
term’s maintenance.
Had you ever stopt to think that
travel is one of the best means of
education there is? Also do you
know that the Panama Exposition is
the greatest world’s fair ever yet
held? And did it ever occur to you
that it might be worth a year in
school for you to see it, and that,
therefore, it demands the same sacri
fices that you would make for your
college course?
Have you read much about the ex
position and the hostess city—San
Francisco? If not, you should at
least look up a few points.
The librarian will tell you where
you may find interesting and timely
articles about the exposition.
Most of the railroad companies
have published folders devoted ex
clusively to the exposition, which
may be secured by sending a postal
with name and address.
Above all things you should make
arrangements to go with the corps,
for there is nothing like gaining the
other fellow’s viewpoint on the vari
ous and sundry things which go to
make up the world, for truly the
whole world will be on exhibition in
one great city.
T. C. U. PRESIDENT
ADDRESSES CHAPEL
Last Sunday we were more than
fortunate in having the president of
one of the sister Texas colleges to
address the student body and campus
people at the morning service. Dr.
F. D. Kirchner of Texas Christian Uni
versity at Fort Worth is a man of
scholarly attainments combined with
great breadth of mind.
He spoke on the pessimist and op
timist, and called attention to Bible
characters who carried out the paral
lelism between the two. And one
especial point that was brought out
very forcibly was: The pessimist
does not look beyond the material
world. We have heard many com
pliments upon Dr. Kirschner’s ser
mon and only wish to hear him
again.
A. & M. CAN USE
SMITH LEVER FUND]
A resolution was unanimously
adopted in the House authorizing Agri
cultural and Mechanical College to
accept the money appropriated by the
United States Government under the
provisions of the Smith-Lever Act.
Wortham, who introduced the resolu
tion, expects that $10,000 will be re
ceived by the college under the pro
visions of the act this year, it being
required that it be applied to extension
work among the farmers.
The emergency appropriation bill,
granting $82,700 to the Agricultural
and Mechanical College for pressing
needs, was finally passed in the House,
and will be sent to Governor Ferguson
for his signature. Of this amount
$25,000 is for extension purposes.—
Houston Post.
College Press Service
Trinity University, January 23—
At the chapel last Tuesday, J. W. Jar-
dine of the Agricultural College of
Kansas and Prof. A. H. Leidig of A.
and M. College of Texas, addressed the
student body and faculty. These
men were in Waxahachie in attend
ance at the Corn Grower’s Association.
On Monday January 25, will occur
on one of the local tennis courts, a
tennis tournament between the three
tennis clubs of the school. The win
ners will compose the team to repre
sent Trinity at the tennis tournament
at Baylor this spring.
On January 25, the local Press Club
met and elected the following officers:
R. H. Fleming, president, and Lucy
Scott, secretary-treasure. The follow
ing delegatees were also elected to rep
resent Trinity at the T. I. P. A. meet
ing at Denton; Moore, Farrar, Will
iams and Hulsey.
T. C. U., January 25—Three hundred
trees will be set out on the Univer
sity campus on Arbor Day at T. C. U.
February 9. Many of the trees have
been donated by members of the fac
ulty and student body. This is one of
the first steps toward beautifying the
campus.
About thirty men have reported as
candidates for the ’15 baseball nine.
The prospects for a winning team this
year are better than for several years
pasjt. T. 1C. U^’s weakest point is
found in the pitching staff for as yet
no experienced college twirler has ap
peared. The schedule for T. C. U.
this spring follows:
Trinity at Waxahachie April 9.
Rice at Houston April 10-11.
Southwestern at Georgetown April
12-13.
Texas at Austin April 14-15.
A. and M. College at College Sta
tion April 16-17.
Texas at Fort Worth April 26-27.
A. and M. College at College Sta
tion April 28-29.
Baylor at Fort Worth May 5-6.
Two games have also been matched
with the Chinese team for the first of
the season.
Several valuable paintings by an art
student in T. C. C. U. were burned in
a fire here last week. The youny lady
arrived at the scene of the fire a few
minutes after it caught but was too
late to save the pictures. She wept
as she saw them destroyed.
A large number of students in T.
C. U. who are planning to take up the
profession of law have organized a
bar association, which meets every
two weeks and gives a program of
interest to aspiring law students.
Most of them are planning to enter
the law school at the University of
Texas after their graduation from T.
C. U. Several of them are Seniors
this year.
THREE KINDS OF COURAGE.
There’s the courage that nerves you
in starting to climb
The mount of success rising sheer;
And when you’ve slipped back there’s
the courage sublime
That keeps you from shedding a tear.
These two kinds of courage, I give
you my word.
Are worthy of tribute—but then,
You’ll not reach the summit unless
you’ve the third—
The courage of Try-it-again.
—Roy Farrell Greene.

tonseed flour contains more than 5 per
cent of these necessary human fac
tors.
An excellent combination in bread
making is to use several times as
much wheat flour as cottonseed flour
for bread making. The economy lies
in the cost of the cottonseed flour,
which costs less than one cent for
three ounces or more.
Not more than three ounces of cot
tonseed bread should be eaten daily
because it contains twelve times as
much fat as does wheat flour. It
would not be fair to see all the colo
nels of Texas and the South suddenly
turn into ex-President Roosevelts or
other obese individuals.—Physical Cul
ture.
SNAPSHOTS.
The fireless cooker is here. So is
the unfired cook, but not for long.
Lightning seldom strikes in the same
place. It doesn’t have to.
Formerly meal time was a cere
monial institution; now it has become
a race meet.
Who flaunts nudity is coarse, but he
who takes offense at it is coarser.
Though the wish is father to the
thought, often it gets no farther.—Ex
change.
