Some of you mirror-gazing discip les of Stacomb may not believe this yarn, and will doubtless rise up on your hind feet and shout the prover bial watchword of Aggieland: “B.S.” (baked sausage). Nevertheless there was an old- time darkey ambling peacefully down the big road beside his wagon, which was filled with corn, (the wagon I mean) when he was hailed by a pass ing planter. “Where did you get that corn, Uncle?” “Morning Sah, ’bout eight miles down the road Sah, in de city ob Hearne.” “Where are you hauling it?” “Four miles fudder on to Franklin, Sah.” “How much dit it cost you?” One dollah thirty-five de bushel, Sah, and I’se got a contrak wid a white gemman who is goin to gimme $1.35 fah it delibered in Franklin, Sah.” “Great guns Uncle! What do you get out of this deal?” “Nothin but de business, Sah, nothin but de business.” No, Priscilla! Prexy didn’t put on his white gloves last night because he thought Col. Todd’s furniture was dusty! No Mable! A draftsman is not a man who drives draft horses. Box(-ed ears) 2, Aggieland, Texas. Oct. 8, 1923. Dere Rummitt: Well. I’m on my last lap now—only I’m talking about the college years, for I hope this won’t be my last lap. Will you tell we where a man’s laps goes to when he stands up ? “Red” Thompson was here last week for the Southwestern game. “Red’s” grin reminds me of one of Sbisa’s tables—six times as long as it is wide. I have a black eye this week. I had a date in Bryan and I told the girl a parlor joke—but I was in the wrong parlor. I know how you are about that five you filched from me when we were Fish. You’ve meant to send it to me but always seal the envelope and can’t get the five in it. I don’t see why mother didn’t name you Owen. “Pat” Olsen got married last week. He used to pitch on the baseball team but now he’s “catching the home plate.” His wife is the daughter of the head of the Subsistence Depart ment. Sounds like in the good old days—Free lunch counter. “Uncle Dan” and Dean Puryear had an Old Setler’s Reunion the other night. Regular bull pen! “Uncle Dan” swept him out good; and this in the only time that the Dean has not said, “Put it in writing.” I received quite a shock yesterday. My roommate threw a piece of fruit cake at me and a current ran up my sleeve. As I must clothe for a date I must close. Yours, TOM. Said the moth, as he sniffed at the Camphor, “I’m sorry I’m here where I am- phor Some things that I eat Taste pleasant and sweet, But camphor I don’t give a dam- phor.” —Ex. Fish—This hat’s too small for me. Every time I laugh it slides off my head. Cheatem—Here’s one two sizes lar ger. Try to laugh that off.
