MEMORY My mind lets go a thousand things, Like dates of wars and deaths of kings, And yet recalls the very hour'Twas noon by yonder village tower, And on the last blue noon in MayThe wind came briskly up this way, Crisping the brook beside the road: Then. pausing here. set down its load Of pine-scents. and shook listlessly Two petals from that wild-rose tree. - T.

Fred Donaghey, dramatic critic of the Chi Trill say~ that when a good joke dies it goes on the stage. \Ve have observed recently that after it has gone on the stage, a joke usually appears in some of the cheaper magazines of alleged wit. Then, in a few days, or1e sees it in the Line 0' Type. After that, it appears in the next issue of the New Trier News, from which we often cull it for Shore Lines. Where does the chain end?
