Yon are won dering where von have been Uiis past week or just how long yoii liiu-e been asleep to have niissetl all the happenings reported on the front page of this issue. We hasten to enlighten you for we agree that you are due an exphuiation. ^'ou have not played the Riji Van Winkle trick, nor anythin" of ihe kind, for the stories printed on the first page have happened only in the imagina tion of the staff. We became tired, in fiiet bored, with ilu‘ job of writing up and hav ing published events all too fa miliar to a majority of fhns(‘ “ex posed” to the paper, and we have evei'v i’i*:ison to believe that we are not the (itdy ones M'ho are bored with sncli as we are able to report. 'I'hercFore, for the sake of variety, we have ventured into the realms of fancy foi- oni' material ibis wwk, and iience thi.s fictitious issue of the Twiii. We trust that yon will noecpt this in the same s])irit in which it is done. Tt has not been our idea to “slam” anyliody or anything and we are lio])in>; ,b:it you will bear with us in our (•xpcrimcHr, Wo of the stall' have i-njoyc’d b't- ting our innigiiiiition ruu a\.'i'.y with us, and if we have eansed-yon to READ TllK 'i'WKI, c\pn if we liad to resort to .sudi (h':i-ric- inciiii.«, then our one and only aim of such n product as this has accom plished. CAMl’US iNEWS It has been rumored around the campus that since spring Is nearly here Mr. McConnell will no longer stand on the boulevard to welcome all guests, particularly young gentlemen, to come in and see our girls while visiting this educational institution. Ii is said that he and his two fat mules have gone to plov.'lng. They hope to raise enough vegetables for Meredith consumption, anil we wish them a tremendous success, especially with their onions and turnips. We are sorry to hear that Bessie Thomas was injured on our golf course lust Saturday afternoon when struck by a niashle in the hands of Mary Frances BIggers. We hojie that she will soon be able to return to her classes although she is enjoying her few days rest in the infirmary. We think that since Donnis has been so faithful a follower of Meredith since the beginning it is outrageous that he should have such arduous duties after all these years. We have often seen him mopping h'ia Ifeated brow after these labors and suggest that his duties be lightened. WHO AM 1? It was leap year, but I did not want to embarrass my best girl to make her propose to me, so I aske'd her to be my wife, and she said: “I would like to be excused,” and I, like an idiot excused her. But I got even with the girl. I married her mother. Then my father married the girl. Now I don't know who I am. When I married the girl’s mother the girl became my daughter, and when my father married my daughter, h(i is my son. When my father mar ried my daughter she was my mother. If my father is my son and my daugh ter is my mother, who in thunder am I? My mother’s mother, which is my wife, must be my grandmotlTer, and, being my grandmother’s husband, I am my own grandfather--The YoHler. MAN AND MULt The mule—he is a gentle beast; And so is man. He’s satisfled to be the least; And so is mau. Like man, he may be taught some tricks, He does his work from S to 6; The mule—when he gets mad he kicks: And so does man. The mule he has a load to pull; And so has man. He’s happiest when he is full; And so is man. Like a man he holds a patient poise, And when his work’s done will rejoice; The mule—he likes to hear his voice; And so does man. The mule—he has his faults, 'tis true; And so has man. He does some things he should not do; And BO does man. Like man he doesn’t yearn for style But wants contentment all the while; The mule—he has a lovely smile; And so has man. The mule is sometimes kind and good; And so is man. He eats all kinds of breakfast food; And so does man. Like man he balks at gaudy dress And all outlandish foolishness. The mule’s accused of mullshness; And so Is man. —Chicago Tri'bune. Mary Neal wants to know if the people n Bible times swam a lot ’cause it says they died of divers diseases. Meliie—There are a hundred and twenty odd professors here. Va. Glenn—So I’ve noticed. Pass—Did you have a good time last v.eed-end? Out—Nothing to write home about.
