To settle all doubts on the question we will state that the religious editor of the Courier goes by the handle of E. E. Ritchie. In his absence the business manager will officiate. Bennett is the fighting man of the staff, Curry is the sporting editor, and Miller the mashing editor. This statement is made in order to clear up any misapprehensions which may exist.
—"Le turke" (Le Turque?) is the Turk, native of Turkey. "Die tuerkei," is Turkey, the country. "Gallus Indicus" is the common fowl. Comments are unnecessary. Perhaps Turkey, le dindon, das Truthuhn, meleagris gallopavo, would have shown more knowledge of the various languages. Compliments of the season to the "me too" magazine.
—Time, Sunday evening; place, best parlor; occupants, Susanna and her solid fellow, dedicating the new patent sofa. At one minute past ten a bell under the sofa begins to peal. If this warning is not heeded, at five minutes past ten the sofa flies to pieces with such force as to send the fellow out the front door and his girl in the adjoining room. Warranted to give complete satisfaction to all anxious parents. Sold by all prominent furniture dealers.
The following good story is told of a last year's Junior, whose initials are Sam Detwiler. "Det" was engaged with a surveying party in a country district where
spelling school is the principal enjoyment. One night the teacher, who usually gave out the words, was absent, and the representative of the Kansas State University was asked to take his place. Eager to show the advantage of a college education, Det took the speller, assumed a wise expression, and began. Now in this spelling book the words are spelled correctly in one column and on the opposite are spelled as pronounced. Det., ignorant of this important fact, began with the wrong column. One after another of the champion spellers went down before this new method, until nearly the whole class took their seats, at the word beau, Det insisting, and the book bearing him out, that it was "bo." For almost an hour this new, unsuspecting desciple of phonetic spelling confused that poor class. When at last the mistake was discovered, Det. beat an inglorious retreat, and at the next spelling bee was mostly conspicuous by his absence.
