ked. "If all the boys' mothers help them as yours has, your _March Hare_ will be a certainty by to-morrow." "You were a brick, Mater." "I just happened to recall hearing the man speak of it," returned Mrs. Cameron. Nevertheless it was quite evident that she was pleased to aid her boy. "You don't remember happening to hear any one else mention advertising, do you, my dear?" asked her husband. "I'm afraid not," was his wife's laughing reply. "Don't tease Mater, Dad," said Paul. "She's done her bit. May the others do as well." Rising from breakfast, he bent and kissed his mother affectionately. "I'm off to school!" he called. "I shall put this advertising stunt up to the business manager. He's got to expect to have something to do." "That's right, Paul," returned Mr. Cameron approvingly. "The clever business man is the one who organizes his affairs and then throws at least a part of the responsibility of carrying them out on the men in his employ. Nobody is ever interested in an undertaking in which he has no part. Share your work with the other fellow if you want to get the best out of him.

What Caesar did in Gaul, what Cyrus and the Silician Queen had to say to one another was of far less import to the agitated students than what the Class of 1920 did that day in Burmingham. Nevertheless the recitations dragged on somehow and by and by the geometries, Roman histories, and the peregrinations of Cyrus were tucked into the desks, and the staff of the _March Hare_ got together for a hurried business meeting in the corridor. The boys were enthusiastic that Paul had found a printer. "Hurrah for you, Kipper!" they shouted. "Good work, old man!" "Leave it to Kip!" they cried in chorus. "You'll have to get the ads.," announced Paul. "I've secured one. I leave the rest of them to you." "Right-o! We'll 'tend to them," piped Donald Hall with ass
