THE TRUE STORY OF GEORGE
George Washington was born Feb. 22, 1732 in Virginia. From earliest intancy George gave promise of becoming a leader among men, in fact leading his unhappy father a dog's life before he had cut his first teeth. He was considerably interested in the cutting business all thro' his career. He had scarcely finished with his molars, when, his biographers inform us, that he began the devastation of living timber in his neighborhood. This accounts for the present lack of rain fall and consequently poor errors in northern Virginia.
When the Revolutionary war broke out George saw what was up and first began making proverbs. "My Country 'tis of Thee," he said as he took command of the Revolutionary troops. George was an eminently successful lad when it came to the fighting act. John L Sullivan and Jim Jefferies pale into the insignificance of an iidescent dream in comparison. But the British couldn't keep George busy. He pined for something more to do beside whipping the British. While pitching horse shoes one Sunday with Lafyette, at Valley Forge, he suddenly said, "Egad! Lafe, I'll do it." "Do what," said Lafayette. "Why, start an orphan asylum." And the old war horse did it and he is yet known as father on account of it.
After George had sung "Good Night Ladies" in a touching ten
or to the last boat load of John Bull's "Tommys," he turned his attention to running his farm and making a constitution for the colonies. Being handy with the hatchet the constitution carving didn't take him long. He was at a considerable loss as to what to do with himself, when he suddenly discovered that his country needed a president. He told the people that he'd take the job as it took a good deal of time and he could easily turn the farm over to Martha for a little while. George made the best president the country had ever seen by long odds, so that the people made him give an encore to the first performance. At the end of his second term George said: "I would rather be right than president." and retired to his country home where he and Martha soon had the reputation of bringing the best butter and likeliest chickens to town of any people in those parts.
X. Y. Z. DEBATING CLUB.
The regular meeting of the X Y.Z. club was held in the club room Saturday afternoon, February 13. The program was opened by a parliamentary drill led by Bartlett. Tillotson and Coleman gave extempore talks.
The debate of the evening was on the question: Resolved, that the present system of city government is responsible for the corruption and abuses in municipalities. Petit, Tritt, Leinbach and Logan took part in the discussion.
LECTURE ON CORINTH.
The program was closed by an eight minute talk by Grant, on the jury system.
Prot. Richardson, for ten years director of the American school of Archaeology at Athens, will give an illustrated lecture on Corinth in University hall next Friday evening.
Corinth was a large and rich city in both ancient and early Christian times, and excavations there have brought to light interesting remains from both periods. These excavations were conducted under the personal supervision of Prof. Richardson, and he will show us the results in his lecture. It ought to interest all students and faculty, and it is hoped that every one who can take advantage of the presence in our midst of such a man as Prof. Richardson and hear him. The lecture is free and open to all.

"Mornin' miss," said he, "dyer want ter buy any cabbages this mornin'?" "No sir," replied the girl, drawing herself up to her full height, "I do not smoke, thank you." The young girl had a younger brother and she thought that tobacco was made out of cabbage.
