OCTOBER. some fair woman who would fain her youth renew By gentle sighs and warm love-glances which seem true; So doth Nature by her gentle sighs and sun-kissed heath beguile; And were it not for barren trees and fallen leaves turned sere. 'Twould seem that Summer, not her counterfeit, were here. REPORT OF THE QUILL CLUB. The Quill Club met as usual Thursday at five o'clock in room 10 A. Mr. Keyes gave a very readable account of "The Work of the Geological Survey." He had a collection of facts seldom found and presented them in a manner which would instruct and interest, rather than confuse, the reader who had received no specialized scientific training. Mr. Easton's short story, "Unrewarded Diplomacy," held the closest attention of the members. Its appropriate title, its peculiarly appropriate names of the characters, its ever present yet never revealed plan, its delicate touches which gave an essentially human turn to the story and the unforeseen climax contributed to a most interesting and novel story. Mr. Winton's "In Articulo Moris" received no unfavorable criticism and its sixteenth century flavor called forth a discussion of the short story demanded by the public today. He also read a very brief, but true, story of "Uncle." In the Mining Journal meeting Tuesday afternoon, Prof. Haworth read letters from Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Stewart, two of last year's graduates, from Nacobriz, Old Mexico, and Douglass Arizona, where the boys are working.

(2) There once was a man with a cough Who said to his neighbors, "Come ough! SMILE!! "God Smiled When He Put Humor into the Human Soul and Said-That is Good." I took every cure I've been told to endure. If I took every cure You'd all have good reason to scough." There once was a terrible tough There once was a terrible tough Whose voice was both beery and grough, He got thirty day's jail, Without jury or bail, For stealing an old lady's mough. One day a young girl tried to plough; But alas! she had never learned hough. And her furrows were such So she fell back on milking the cough.

"Few people," said the tired wife, as the hour for retiring drew apace, "are aware of what a woman has to go through." Dr. Gruffman—"Get a divorce."
