THE EXPECTED LETTER
Don't go to the theater, concert or
ball,
But stay in the room tonight,
Deny yourself of the friends that
call,
And a good long letter write—
Write to the dear old folks at home,
Who sit when the day is do.:e
With folded hands and downcast eyes
And think of the absent one.
Don't selfishly scribble "Excuse my
haste"
I've scarcely time to write
Lest their anxious tho'ts go wander
ing back
To many a by-gone night
When losing needed sleep and
rest,
And every breath was a prayer
That God would leave their own
dear babe
To their tender love and care.
Don't let them feel that you've no
more need
Of their council wise
For the heart grows strongly sensi
tive
When age has dimmed the eyes,
It might be well to make them feel
That you never forget them quite
That you deem it a pleasure when
far away
.A good letter home to write.
Don't think that the young and giddy
friends
Who make your pastime gay
Have half the anxious thoughts of
you
That the old folks have today.
Postpone not the writing home
Let sle.ep or pleasure wait
Lest the letter for which they have
looked and longed
Be a day or an hour too late.
The dear old folks back there at
home
With locks fast turning white
Are longing to hear from the absent
one,
Write them a letter tonight.
AUNT RUTH TURRIBLY
'STOUNDED.
White fokes, migh' nigh eber Thanks
gibbin day,
Dere are things takin place, I hates
to say—
Pat, when my eyes air bold to see,
Dey terribly shakes my modesty.
De gals go bustin in Cox Hall—
Payin' no 'ten-ion, jes laugh an squall.
In ' eber room dey air purty soon—
It's simply 'stoundin' to dis yer coon.
And den, de whole blame troop fall
out;
Dey scrambles for gal roosts wid
screeches and shouts
Dey climb dem steps as neber befoe,
An' de gals fall agin der closet do'.
De boys make 'roun from dis to dat —
De gals' heart beatin' time —"pity-ty
pat"—
If only de boys would set down
quite—
But oh my lan, dey're seein de sight.
Dey seem plum los', dey act so
quare—
From table, wardrobe, and shifter
nai-e
De switch, de powder, de paint and
de puff,
Til de gal plays mad, and squeals
out "enough."
?n agin, dere's anoder curious thing,
When de chearful tones ob de supper
bell ring—
Dem dere gals git mighty sorry,
An beg de Loys to make no hurry.
But now de ole mades gits dredful
wise,
An ax dem gents, "ain't it time to
rise."
"Git outer de do," and "clear de
deck"
Fo dey git sompin what de don't
expeck.
Now hear dis coon, while she 'spress
es her mind,
pats one 'ner way to have a good
time.
But mark it down on yo' blackbord,
It's a blame po' way ob thankin' de
Lord.
—A Student.
THANKSGIVING HIKE
After the chapel exercise on
Thursday morning, a large number
of the college boys and girls gath
ered at Founders Hall to go on a
hike. The jolly groups were led by
Professor Rhesa Newlin and Tom
Stuart, who acted as "chaperones."
Following the driveway from Found
ers Hall to the college entrance the
crowd turned to the left and wander
ed down the road towai'd the Battle
Ground. After hiking for about
•three miles the leaders decided that
It would be more fun to roam through
the woods instead of following the
road. Crossing barbed wire fences
and small brooks the hikers late*'
found themselves near the "old well"
just back of the college barn.
At eleven o'clock most of the
hikers were back on the campus
while some few "lost" couples ar
rived about twelve.

COMFORTABLE OLD AGE
What would it mean to your father and mother to get a check for
several thousand dollars or a monthly income from our Company?
Wouldn't they rather have it now than wait until he dies.'' Isn't it really
worth more? Mightn't it even prolong his life —and make them both happier?
You, sir, can do what your father wishes he had done—take an
Endowment Policy payable at 65.
It is easy to do. It is good insurance, good investment, and good sense.
