Almost Every Student Bought the "Cheshire Cat."
"Have you a tag?" ventured a pretty freshman "tag girl" to a senior engineer on the campus yesterday.
"Have I a tag? Well. How much are they?" answered the engineer, straightening his time worn cravat.
"Twenty-five cents. Don't you want two?" You'll be able to take a friend to see 'Alice in Wonderland' then."
"Two-bits, eh?" shid the engineer, putting his hand in his pocket.
"Yes," said the girl, separating two tags from the rest and tendering him the grateful smile that she always gave to purchasers.
"Well, you see," he said, producing two tags, "I've already fallen to this game twice,and now I am broke."
"Oh, you horrid thing!" she said, changing the sweet smile to a look of extreme disgust, and hurrying off to look for a law student.
