a certain Bulletin on
Forestry and another one on Mushrooms for the book table at their
Exhibition in the Art Institute. In due time arrived 250 copies of "How
to make unfermented grape juice" and 250 copies of "Hog Cholera."
Anybody want them?

OH, DON'T YOU REMEMBER SWEET MARY, BEN BOLT?

"What has become of Mary MacLane?" asks a reader. We don't know, at this
moment, but we remember--what is more important--a jingle by the late
lamented Roz Field:

"She dwelt beside the untrodden ways,
Among the hills of Butte,
A maid whom no one cared to love,
And no one dared to shoot."

The Montmartre crowd had a ticket in the Paris municipal election. The
design on the carte d'electeur was a windmill, with the legend below,
"Bien vivre et ne rien faire." This would do nicely for our city hall
push.

"The Neapolitan Sixth," said Mr. Dubbe, "is so called because the
composers of the Neapolitan school of opera were the first to introduce
it freely. D. and A. Scarlatti were at the head of the school and were
well-known musicians. Bach, who was not so well known, also used this
sixth."

"Which used it first?" asked Mrs. Givu A. Payne.

"Bach, of course," replied Mr. Dubbe. "Bach used everything first."

"Dear old Bach!" exclaimed Miss Georgiana Gush.

"The Neapolitan Sixth," continued Mr. Dubbe, "is usually found in the
