time, for Kliea, seeiuingly does not care into what sort of society she casts her lot. Our reasons for thinking thus nnist he self-evident because for some time past she bas been drifting about witli just an ordinary “Cook.”

ITEM XII. Bernice Grove gives, wills, and l>equeaths her pretty loeks of long hair to William Carlyle. Perhaps it is a little barci on William to say this, but it. actually looks as though he were trying to compete with the girls. Nevertheless he is a good tellów and frequently attends the Barbers’ Reunion.

ITEM XIII. Harold Gearhart wills his hat and his long (?) walk to school to Tlieo-dore Wolford. Harold only lives across the Street from school and so doesn ‘t need his hat. Ted certainly deserves to live closer to school, because, for some time he has madę tho walk, only a matter of a few miles, twice a day, but now he will have it much easier.

ITEM XIV. Edith West leaves her last na me to South Metzger. Good Inek, “South-West, ” perhaps some day when you have acquired a naine for every point of the compass, thirty-two in all. you can divide up with some of us who have only one good nick-name.

ITEM XV. Carl Yengling does hereby give, will and bequeath his talent as a car-toonist to Howard Foltz, who is already quite an artist. If Howard can only accommo-date the given talent to his own, we may expect some works of great value from him in the near futurę.

ITEM XVI. Solbert Greenberger gives and wills his ability to keep pace with “Master Fashion” to Lawrence Beardmore, who we fully expect will go to Paris and —“Show ’em ho w to do it.’’

ITEM XVII. Edith hentz wills her ability to keep up both ends of a conversation to “Betty" Atchison. What is most deceiving is the fact tliat so much materiał can be found in so smali a space, but have we not found tliat air is compressible to a rema rkable degree?

ITEM XVIII. Fred Harroff does give, will and bequeath his marked ability as Master of Oratory, Debate and a generał “Free-for-All,” to his brother Ray. Don’t mistake this act as an evidence of “brotherly kindness, “ for Fred simply belieres in keeping old relics in the family as long as possible.

ITEM XIX. To Eois Garret, Mabel Berlin leaves two rosy cheeks and a winning smile for everyone, but especially for the opposite sex. Mabel has certainly worked out to a finish. the old proverb. “Laugh, and the world laughs with you.** for her smiles have proved to be quite catching. We will see how well this holds true in the case of Lois.

ITEM XX. Leon Ilenault wills and be(jueaths one ol' his numerous fair friends to Russell Myers, who has never been seen with one of his own choiee. Leon is certainly not quite so unfortunate as was Solomon, but we don’t see how he could miss just one out of so many (?) hundred. We will have to admit tliat perhaps tliere were not quite so many as we have said. but there were too many to eount.

ITEM XXI. James Wilson leaves his ability to make a lot of noise without the aid of any external appliances whatever, to William Linn. It seems just natural for these two boys to stir up a lot of noise regardless of whether it means anything or not. This ąuality is no drawback to Jim s character, but he needs it no longer and William is seeking re-enforcements and will be glacl to receive the gift.

ITEM XXII. Mary Wilson gives her commendable ability to push things and gain results to James Hayden. Tn his work, so far, Jim has gained some good results and has proved himself to be a very fair student, gathering together a few good (?) grades. As for pushing things. we beliere the only thing he would be able to push would be a wheel-barrow, and probably couldnT keep this on the side-walk.

ITEM XXIII. To Reuben Smith, Cccii Chessinan does give, will and bequeath his varied experiences in the Dry Goods business, namely, the experiences of a deliyery boy.
