A man’s money is often only a
means to his wife’s ends.

A pretty woman may talk on any
subject; it is the way her lips move
rather than what they articulate that
counts.

A bootlegger and a dog are in the

their bones in a safety vault under
ground.

“Breaking” into society is the only

An Eagle Pass resident claims to be
able to forecast the weather for sev
eral months ahead. His wife must
be full of miserable forebodings.
Inside Dope.
“Well, all right,” grumpled the
rum-runner, “I’ll swap. But you gotta
give me two cases of Scoth for one
case of rye.”
“You’re a robber!” howled the Fed
eral agent. Nevertheless, the trade
was consummated.
Whereupon the Federal agent wired
his chief that he had exchanged shots
with the enemy.
The A. and M. Cadet Band has al
ways been noted for its size and qual
ity of music produced. This year the
band is not only much larger than it
was last year, but also better in other
ways.
Warrant Officer R. J. Dunn is large
ly responsible for the very favorable
impression the band is making where-
ever it is heard. Bandmaster Dunn
is a newcomer at College. For thir
teen years he was director of an army
band at Fort Benjamin Harrison in
Indiana. In 1918 he took a bandmas
ter’s examination at Paris, France, in
competition with 205 other men. Only
ten of these passed, and Mr. Dunn
was second. He is devoting much time
to working with the band, and has
succeeded in obtaining the cooperation
of every one in it. It looks very much
as if the band is going to be better
than it has ever been before.
It is interesting to observe how the
band has grown. Four years ago there
were 53 men in it. The next year it
increased to 65, and last year included
76 musicians. This year there are 86
men in the band. At the beginning
of the year fifty-two freshmen tried
out for the band, and only thirty-nine
were accepted.
The U. S. Government furnishes in
struments for forty-eight men. Last
week the new music pouches were ob
tained. They add greatly to the snap
py appearance of the band. Several
new instruments were also obtained
last week. These new instruments
are a sarrussophone, two bassoons,
two oboes, two alto clarinets, and two
bass clarinets.
In Waco last Saturday the band
made a distinct “hit.” In Austin at
Thanksgiving it should show up still
better. All in all, our band is one A.
and M. institution that is always out
standing.

“My boy, I owe a great deal to that

“Is she your mother?”
“No, she’s my lanlady.”
