But now the most powerful monarch not only thinks of doing a plebe- ian act, but actually does it, ap- parently with the connivance of the members of his court; more- over he apparently allows his photo to be taken. We honor the king for this free expression of his democratic spirit. One or more of our pres- idents might have done the same thing as George. T. R. could easily have done it, but not Wil- son. We doubt Calvin's willing- ness to come off his pedestal. Life is just one thing after an- other, with occasionally some act like King George's to relieve the strain.

I saw her upon nearer view, A spirit, yet a woman too! Her household motions light and free, And steps of virgin-liberty; A countenance in which did meet Sweet records, promises as sweet; A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food, For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles. And now I see with eye serene The very pulse of the machine; A being breathing thoughtful breath, A traveler between life and death; The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength and skill; A perfect woman, nobly planned To warn, to comfort, and command; And yet a Spirit still, and bright With something of celestial light. --WORDS WORTH. ~~ WHO PAYS? stern railroads have slashed Nestern line, for example, a Ray FEcursion rates 'The offers a round trip Sunday rate of $2 between Chicago and Milwau- kee, $3.14 less than the regular round trip rate. The same rail- road sells a round trip Sunday ticket between Madison and Chi- cago for $2.75, which is $6.61 less than the regular round trip rate, a reduction of 70%. Good! Fine idea! BUT this same road is about to make an advance of 204 on commutation ly young ones. In the Sunday School which we attended years ago in the East, the superintendent announced some months before the actual event that the Sunday School was to have a picnic on a certain wonderful Saturday. How we awaited that great day and how slowly it came! A day in the woods meant much to city boys and girls. We were to go by train to this beautiful picnic grove. We assembled on that notable Saturday morning at the church and went from there by omnibus to the railway station. With us went big baskets of provender of all kinds--mostly sandwiches and cakes. We piled aboard the cars, the ladies and older people taking the seats, and the boys not set- tling anywhere, but running back and forth, infesting the platforms until the trainmen drove them in. - The ride to the grounds--what a long ride it was! Lengthened by our being obliged to wait on the switch for every other regular train, even the freights. Arrived at our destination, off we scram- bled and ran into the grove to pre-empt the best places for our own parties. It was next in order to explore the adjacent woods and fields, just for the pleasure of see- ing what we could see. Then, if there was a river near by (usually there was), to it we bent our happy steps to see if we could rent a row-boat and for how Drowsy bees near purling brook. --Dorrs L. LISSEN TO THIS, JANEY! Dear Janey: As I seem to be the main object of your volley of fire, let me give you a word. Keep up the good work. Con- tinue to be distinguished among the rank and file of my acquaintances and friends as the one who gives me the most slams, so, when I become famous as the world's best mathematician, you can say with more truth than any one else: "Yes, I told you so, I always knew she would amount to something!" --MEDEA Although, we can't for the life of us see why any one in this wide world should ever wish to become a mathe- matician, we are right with you Medea! But we fear that, despite the fact that vou claim to be a man-hater, some one of these fine days along will come some clever young man who'll up and con- fer upon you the degree of P. W. and then--another ambitious man-hater will cease to exist. YALE 25--HARVARD 15! Read a headline recently.

That's the railroad's business. But if commuters have to pay for the cut in ex- cursion fares, then we certainly do object! If the cut in Sunday excur- sion rates means an addition to the commuter's load, we pro- test vigorously! THE WORLD MOVES Recently there appeared in the rotogravure section of a Sunday paper a picture of a miniature railway, and on one of its ridicu- lously tiny seats--George VII, King of England and Emperor of India. Opposite him a small boy, Mother had spread a big cloth on the grass and on it had arranged a feast fit for the gods and dan- gerously attractive to boyish eyes and stomachs. We ate and ate until, strange to say, we were satisfied. We then strolled about, waiting for the games and con- tests to begin. We often tried our skill and strength against others, but usually won nothing. The hour for returning to the city came round, and on board piled a incoherent throng of tired- out mothers and children, the fathers usually not caring for pic- nics. The ride back to town added to the already frazzled-out con- dition of the picnickers. The trip was enlivened somewhat by ac- counts of how Willie had fallen from the swing and sprained his foot and how Mary had been chased by an irate cow. That night there were dreams in plenty of ants and spiders and mirac- ulous escapes from drowning. The next day many were the discussions as to whether picnics While I lie on the cool dank grasses. --BARDOFF. IT IS TO LAFF! Scene--in the Skokie lowlands.
