"HE WHO LAUGHS LAST
LAUGHS BEST."—HAYNES
An intended joke on Dr. Winthrop P, Haynes, of the department of geology turned out to be a good one on the jokers, this morning.
Dr. Haynes arrived in due time and tried to open his door, but found that it was locked. Hearing the low screech of the door, he immediately grasped the situation.
Leaving the early students to en joy themselves he took the late students to an adjoining laboratory and proceeded with the recitation.
Everything went all right with the jokers until they tried to unlock the door, but then they locked it and which they locked the door would not unlock it. The only way out was through a window. It was ten feet from the door. There was a fair co-dam among them.
The problem was finally solved however, and the fair cooled was lowered gently by the hands to the ground. The others followed and they finally reached the laboratory when the class hour was about half over.
DANISH VIOLINIST WINS APPLAUSE
Three Metropolitan Stars In Costume Assist With Selections From Operas
Axel Skovgaard, said to be Denmark's greatest violinist, and three singers from the Metropolitan Opera company entertained a large audio recording at the maximum last night. The concert was the 1916-17 University course.
The Danish artist was well received. Viennese Caprice (Fritz Kreisler), Pizzicato Grazioso, by Skovgaard himself, and Tallahasse, a three-moment fantasy based upon American plantation melodies, drew the most applause. Selections from Butterfly, the Desert Love Song, Songs from Frost and Jacqui, and O Mio Fernando, from La Favorita, were sung in native costume.
Mrs. Alice Skovgaard played the director Waltz (Llust-Buson) on the play.
Mr. and Mrs. Skovgaard are touring America on account of the war, except to remain on this side of the Atlantic until the end of the conflict.
The Devil
Of course you don't believe in the Devil! Not as a personal being, anyway. But isn't he a fascinating figure, and after all didn't he stand to the people who did believe in him an element that is just real in our world? And when we think there is a great truth imbedded in old ideas that we look upon as superstitions which we are in danger of overlooking in our pride of superior wisdom. Some of the stories about the Devil well illustrate this. The book of Job makes the Devil one of God's angels whose work is that of temptation, even if ever asked yourself just what truth in human life that story stands for? Perhaps you can get a new point of view of the Devil in the sermon on this subject Sunday night at 7:45 at the Uitarian Church.—Adv.

CORRECT STATIONERY
Careful Attention Given to All Business.
DICK BROS., DRUGGISTS
Once upon a time, a long while ago, to be exact, in the year Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen, on the last night of October and the third night of the week, when the moon shone in all its newness, the members of a certain honorary society, gender mass-aged and selected from the most verdant of their freshmen, did wend their way up the highway bordering the golf links.
Now in the 'early evening the maidens had sought a change from study at the Bowersock theatre, follow her example and enter the mater who soon enters the bonds of matrimony. There was "Nobody Home" but a maid when the honorary serenaded, but the neighbors vow that she will be in love with a wonderful institution of learning.

Nobody Home
There, before a palace at 1234 Mississippi, which houses a group of unrestenautistic maidens, the honorary captain is no match for No applause. Ditto, even unto the fourth song the applause was lacking. A hurried whispered confab follo­d not, when a song that can't be printed neat but just 'just because there was not applause.

"The Mark of Quality"
Consider Your Feet What Boots Them
- Fischer's Shoes Are Good Shoes -
R. C. PROTCH
"Quality remains after price is long-forgotten." Which saying certainly applies to clothes.
"How can you best judge a student's character—by studying the eyes or the mouth?" An upperclassman who wears her clothes well was asked. Without a moment's hesitation she answered, "By looking at her feet."
The little refinements, the taste of selection, the fit, and the form are things that count for much in the field of feminine footwear.
$8
They are the things that make Fischer's shoes of interest to the University women of taste and refinement.
A new boot answering these requirements in every detail is a rich chocolate Russian Brown calf—2 inch Cuban heel close welted street sole—8 inch square top-invisible eyelets—and small perforations around vamp-it ranges in width from triple "a" to "c".
