MEDITATIONS Has it ever entered your mind that ther are 2,500 Aggies, each having two arms with an average length of 2% feet to an arm, making a grand total of 13,500 feet of arms, or nearly 3 miles? Yes, that arm would be long enough to wrap around any girl twice and slap her papa down if he tried to use the old trusty shotgun. And even if he did shoot, he’d have to have a cannon to be in range. Some arm. —o— And from statistics, eacla and every Aggie can hold a kiss at least one minute. Multiply by 2500 and you have 2500 minutes, or 41 hours and 40 minutes, or one day, 17 hours and 40 minutes. Quite a caress. —o— With all this paraphernalia, the Texas Aggies could stage quite a magnificent petting party. And you know that the Aggies are aggress ive, progressive, and persistent, too. Oh, well! What’s the use anyway, because it won’t be long now. J. C. S. (Shakespeare.) CHRISTMAS GIFTS!

His heart beat violently as he realized that all this beauty was his. Charmingly, she stood before him and wispered, “How do I look dearest?” “Sweetheart,” he murmured, as he took her in his arms, “you look mighty good to me.” “Don’t let your impressions mis lead you,” she breathed, snuggling closer. <$> BOYS—Get a Swing Frame FREE with a half dozen Portraits.
