Everybody in College it supposed to belong to literary society, and all members of societies make it a point to help every new student to make up hit mind to which society is the best The PM1- ologic society the largesr membership in College, over fifty. But on account of the large numbv-r from this society who were graduated last year, and because of members dropping out of school, the membership is about equal this year.

The Mathonian society will make a strong attempt to increase their membership this year. They have issued pamphlets which set forth, as tersely as possible, the merits of the society and which challenge their rivals to comparisons in the various of the school. The Phil- ologies not answer them in the same form but will attempt to win new men by the excellence of their programs and by answering comparisons and challenges in regular meetings. About twelve new men are pledged to the Mathonians, which is a decidedly betler showing than that of their competitors. How ever, the game is still new and the greater number hnve not yel assorted their intcntio'ns in the society line.

The black snake, of course, he says, v.as up in the tree after birds' corgs in the neits.
