4 THE TWIG Virgie HarvlUfe (in Senior class meeting)—"Order!” Elizabetli Daniels (sleepily)—“Ham and eggs!” tired Biirwell McFarland—‘‘I’m of always being the goat.” Isabel de Vlaming—•Tlien why don’t you stop butting in?” Margaret Overton—"Papa said tliat you had more money than sense.” Young Man—“Ha! that’s one on your Pa. I' broke.” Margaret—“Yes. he added that you were.” Freshman’s Mother—“Yes, Mary is taking Latin and Algebra.” Friend—“Indeed.” Mother—Johnny say “Good morn ing to the lady in Algebra.” "Mr. Perry—"What was the noise I heard?” Donace—"That was only a student falling asleep.” Mary B.—“Blanche, its raining.” Blanche—"Well, let it rain.” Mary—"I was going to.” MYSTERY There are some tilings we don’t ;inderstand. Now take for instance “college"— Perhaps it’s chance or maybe 'twas planned; Why does it rhyme with “knowl edge?” —K. Y. Marury. Being conceited is the only satisfac tion some men Hncl in life. —CoiiuU iri/oct. CAUSE AND EFFECT He rose with great alacrity— To offer her his seat; 'Twas a (luestlon whether she or he Should stand upon his teet. —ExcJtaiigc. I hate women and I’m ghul I hate ’em 'ciiuse if I didn’t hate ’em I’d like ’em and I hate 'em. —lii'owji Jny. Isabel—“rve lived on vegetables for two weeks." .fafkie—"That’s nothing. I’ve lived on earth for twenty years.” Who is ihe meanest man in the world? Why tlic guy who proposes to an old nuiid over the telephone and after she acceiUs him, tolls her he had the wrung number. —Ptiri)]c C'oio. Tell mo not in mournful number, Life is l)ut au empty dream; I have euten raw cui.iimliers, And I llud that life's a scream. —E.rch(in!Je. It takes a mighty little red hair to put the finishing touches to an awful big temper, — She—“I wonder if you remember me? Twenty years ago you asked me to marry you.” Absent-minded Prof.—“Ah, yes, and did I?” When a girl looks sweet enough to eat don’t give her the opportunity. Burwelle—“He wrote me that when ho graduates he will settle down and marry the sweetest girl in the world.” Bernice—“How horried of him when he is already engaged to you.” Bruce Crater—“Then this la abso lutely final?” Mary Tatftm—“Yes, shall I return your letters?” Bruce—“I’d be glad to have them back. They’re good enough to use again.” Prof. Riley—"Between what coun tries was the Spanish-American war fought. Miss Mary Bowers?” Mary—“I don’t believe I know, unless it was between England and America," He—“They say that kiaaes are the language oi! love,” She—“Then, why don’t you say something?” “To be college bred means a four- year loaf, requiring a great deal of dough, as well as plenty of crust.” Bragging Fresh—“My grandfather built the- Rocky Mountains,” Soph—“That’s nothing. You’ve heard of the Dead Sea? Well, my grand father killed It.” Kissing a girl after you have asked her permission is just like getting a rain check after the eighth inning. Recipe for an ingenue—A pound and three-quarters of kitten, three ounces of flounces and sighs; add wiggles and giggles and gurgles, and wringlets and dimples and eyes. Li/e. Elaine Goode (in bed, to alarm clock as it goes off)—“I fooled ye that time, I wasn’t asleep at all.” Manager (five and ten cent store) — “What did the lady who just went out want?” Shop Gii‘1—-“She inquired if we had a shoe department.” The college is a coy maid— She has a habit quaint Of making eyes at millionaires Aug winking at the faint. It is remarkable how many doubtful meanings an alleged pure-minded per son can iind in an entirely respectable Joke. —Cornell Wkloio. "Words fall me,” muttered the small boy as he flunked the spelling —Exchange. Portia—“How do you find this tea?" Louise—“Say, this tea is so weak that I'm leaving it on the table to rest up a bit,” "Funny it never repeats Itself to me,” said the puzzled student over his History examination. Blanche Stokes—“Is my face dirty, or is It my imagination?” Lorraine Sawyer—“I don’t know about your imagination but your face is clean.” N. C. STATE SERENADES AFTER TRINITY GAME WISXERS IN FOOTBALL GAME FOLLOW TDIIMIONOKEI) CUSTOM Ray, ray, rah, rah, Meredith, Mere dith, Meredith,” always sends a thrill to the heart of every Meredith girl, wlien this acclamation is announced in a chorus of masculine voices from one of the surrounding boys’ schools, Saturday night the girls were brought hurrying to the porches by such a chorus from State College who come to celebrate their victory over Trinity in the foot ball game, the score being fourteen to nothing. After many ex changes of greetings and best wishes in the form of peppy yells and songs, State College passed on giving peace to a crowd of noble followers of the Old Gold and Black who came to share with us their victory over Carolina, Bring Us Your Shoe Repairing I Moore’s Electric Shoe Shop | 117 S.
