Orange, Texas, Dec. 2.—F. W.
Pavell of Orange, as a boy of 15
years, attending the St. Mary uni
versity of Galveston in 1884, found
a medal in a puddle of water by the
side of a pile of brick near the old
passenger station. This was during
the time of the celebration of the
Galveston centennial, in which a.
number of students of Texas uni
versity and colleges participated. Al
though Mr. Pavell advertised for the
owner of the medal, no one applied
for it. It was retained through the
years that followed. It was among
the ai'ticles found on Mr. Pavell’s
premises after’, the storm of 1915,
which swept over the Johnsons Bayou
country. A few days ago Mr. Pavell
sent it to the Texas A. and M. col
lege with hope that it might reach
the hand of the party who lost it 38
years ago.
Today Mr. Pavell received the fol
lowing letter:
“You will be interested to know
that I have located the owner of the
medal which you were so kind to for
ward to me. I am just in x’eceipt of
a letter from Dr. William E. Dris-
dale of Chandler, Colo., advising that
the medal belongs to him. He states
that the medal was lost at the state
encampment in Galveston, and he
was always under - the impression
that it had been stolen. He is very
happy to have it returned.
“W. B. Bizzell, President.”
ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC VICTORY
WIRELESS TELEPHONE.
A wireless telephone will be used
tn the stage at the Big-Time Vaude
ville Show, Guion Hall, Monday, Jan
uary 10th, 1921. Anybody who
does not fully understand the prin
ciples of the wireless telephone af
ter seeing it used on the stage, will
be given a free demonstration after
the performance. Also, any of the
audience will be allowed to call up
one friend.
As it is anticipated that too many
will want to call up friends, only a
few will be lucky enough to do so.
How and when these lucky few will
be chosen, will be announced later
in the Bulletin.
FOURTEEN IMPORTANT POINTS
OF RECONSTRUCTION.
\
1. That the name of Brandywifne
N. Y. be changed to Coldwater.
2. That “Drink To Me Only
With Thine Eyes” be made the Na
tional anthem. j
3. That all mention of Bourbon
Kings be expunged from the schdyol
books.
4. That on account of being sug
gestive, rye bread be withdrawn from
sale at all bakeries.
5. That no part of a ship be re

6. That all bars be removed from
harbor entrances.
7. That the word “port” be ex
punged from navigation charts and
references.
8. That the use of alcohol lamps
be forbidden by law.
9. That the useless 9,000,000
white jackets and aprons in this
country be sent to the starving Boi-
sheviki.
10. That the word “still” be ex
punged from the American lang
uage, and all dictionaries, and the
word “quiet” substituted.
11. That all mint be plowed un
der and vanilla beans planted.
• 12. That any barber tantalizing
a customer by using bay rum on his
hair be given ten years.
13. That men with the “footrail
limp” not be allowed to march in
the public parades.
14. That all pretzels shall be
made straight, instead of bent in the
familiar style, to avoid reminiscen
ces.—The Sou’wester.

EVENING PRAYER OF A FISH.
Dr. L. I. R. Finn, the emminent
authority on the habits of the fish
tribe in lower Afghanstan, states
that he has proven conclusively that
the fish of that’ region have a dis
tinctive evening prayer, different, al
together, from any heretofore ob
served. The outstanding character
istic that is so radically different
from the usual prayer of those
found in upper Afghanstan, is the
beautiful rythm of the text, and the
peculiarity of the same word often
repeated. It is peculiar, that the
evening prayer should be the only
differ’ent one, as all others, thruout
the world are alike. Following is
the remarkable text:

gHtiiiiiiniiniH
An Australian dignitary was being
entertained by New York society.
For what seemed to be endless nights
he was dragged through the intri
cacies of the pigeon walk, the fox
trot, the camel limp and the rest. At
last came his day of departure.
“Please madame,” he implored of
his late hostess as they parted at the
gangplank, “don’t ever come to Aus
tralia.”
“But, wh-wh-w’hy not?” gasped
that surprised and offended lady.
“Because,” answered the Austra
lian, wiping his brow, I don’t want
you ever to see a kangaroo at play.”
