Alas! NCE a Monumental Blut? Met a Pillar of Society ; Each of his réle had had enough, And so decided for variety To swap both character and name— They found their roles were just the same. P. McA. Two Dukes. g "THERE are two British dukes in the country. }} One camo to bring home his \ Ohio-born bride and show himself to her friends, We have read much of him in the pa- ——_ pers. He is a good-looking young man, with nice clothes, expensive tastes, and a kind, up- right and solvent American father-in- law. His name is Manchester. He wants a permit to run an automobile in New York and can't get it. He ought to have it. A duke who is fit to be trusted with an American wife is cer- tainly fit to be trusted with a bubble in New York, provided he knows how to run it. The other duke’s name is Newcastle. He was named for an English town that is in the coal business, Maybe he is in that business. Anyhow, he is very, very solvent in his own right. He isa religious gentleman, and his errand here is to promote the interests of that *EMFE® party in the Episcopal Church which goes in for ecclesias- tical frills. He is an active ritualist and is foregathering industriously with the ritual- ists in America.

Like the wise fools that they are credited with being, they tem- porized, haggled,| fumbled, and finally made inadequate concessions. They behaved just as sophomores might have been expected to behave, with the result that all Yale has the “THERE'S THAT PEEPING JACK AGAIN AT M18 OLD TRICKS." THE HEAVY PASSENGER—HIS FIRST AND LAST BALLOON RIDE. “neapy! cct TUE ROPES AXD——" said a few bad words, laughed a bit, and squelched them. The societies have been abolished by a reluctant faculty, and the Yale public will doubtless see to it that they stay dead. Happily, sophomores, like other folks, grow up and learn wisdom. Her Mistake. "THEY were poring over Lire’s beauty con- test; their opinions were widely divergent and the discussion was waxing warm, when a simple and easy solution of the difficulty oc- curred to her. It was really too ridiculous that they had not thought of it before. But now she had caught Lire napping, and. her face glowed with pride at accomplishing the unprecedented feat. They would buy enough copies of Lire to send in all the possible combinations of the twenty pretty heads and the one hundred dollars prize was theirs, He was a little doubtfal about the expense comicbooks.com
