How is the "Fountennial" like a girl?"
Because every fellow should have his own, and not borrow the other fellow's.
One of F. C. H. S.'s girls during last summer's vacation went into a law- yer's office in a western city, and asked for employment. The lawyer, not knowing her asked her a few questions, as : "What is your name? How old are you? Are you good ? Do you know where all bad little girls go?'
But she had been overtrained in F. C. H. S. and spit all the answers at one breath.
"Kate, sir ; sixteen, sir ; I am good, sir ;- go to Hell."

Mike-"What's funnier than a one armed man trying to wind his wrist watch ?"
Pat-"Nothing." Mike-"A glass eye at a keyhole."
An Englishman said the other day that he had been mistaken for Lloyd George.
An American wasn't going to let the Englishman put anything over on im, and said that he was mistaken for President Harding.
But a fellow walked up and tapped the Irishman on the shoulder and said, Great God, is that you ?"
"Making Love with a Gardener."
Do you carrot all for me? My bleeding heart beets for you. My love is soft as a squash, but strong as an onion. You are a peach with your radish hair and turnip nose. You are the apple of my heart. Your cherry lips and forget-me-not eyes, call me. If we cantaloupe lettuce marry, for I am sure we would make a happy pear. Yours for squashing. A Rotten Onion.
Our new teacher, Mr. Patterson, is sure a surprise to us-Alone at first sight.

When you are awfully cross to me, I pout, and pout, and pout. My lips go down, my eyes get big, And then the tears come out.
But when you are awfully good to me, I smile, and smile and smile.
So if you like the sun, more than rain, Try being good a while.

I've Got the Blues H'aint no use of living, Nothing gained. H'aint no use of eating, Just pain. H'aint no use of kissing, He'll tell. H'aint no use of nothing, Oh, Well!

MYRLE WRIGHT'S LONG TROUSERS.
I feel all strange and out of place inside these pants of mine, All lose and queer and flopping like ma's clothes on the line, I'm scared to death the things will drop and bring disgrace to me, 'Cause this darn belt's not half so safe as 'spenders use to be.
I see the kids all gawkin' out the corners of their eyes, The neighbors meet me on the street with looks of pained surprise. The dogs come taggin' at my heels waggin' their tails with fun, Until I have a notion to go home and get my gun.
Mister Beall smiled this morning, when I went to take my seat, And all the girls were twittering and a-lookin' at my feet. The boys laughed rite out loud at me, and Jack, darn his old hide, Told everyone they were my Dad's-as if I had no pride.
Then who should I run into, when I was coming down the street, But Helen Smith, all fussed up, and so sweet, "Hello," she said ; then smiled, then grinned, and with a meaning glance ; Say, is it true, that you are wearing stockings with long pants ?
When I get home, I am going to go right out and call the pup, And take these fool things off of me, and let him chew them up. And then put on my overalls, to be fit to run aroun' And then I'll just roll up my sleeves and lick the whole darn town ! MAX REYNOLDS.

THE FOUNTENNIAL
I've looked around on Main street, I've watched some chickens flirt, But I've never seen the equal, Of Cory's purple shirt.
One Argument for Disarmament. Only a pin yet it calmly lay, On the well-oiled floor in the light of day,
And shone serene and clear and bright, Reflecting back the noonday's light.
Only a "Soph"-but he saw that pin, And his face assumed a fiendish grin,
He slyly stooped with look intent, Till both he and the pin alike were bent.
Only a chair yet upon its seat, That well bent pin found safe retreat,
Nor could the keenest eye discern That heavenward its point did turn.
Only a "Prof." but he chanced to drop Upon that chair, when bang, whiz, pop,
Like a cork from a bottle of champagne, He bounded up from that chair again.
..
Only a yell-but an honest one, It lacked the remotest idea of fun, And "Prof." and "Soph" and pin and chair In close communion mingled there.

Teacher, calling the roll: Payne, Sickness, Coffin, Church! Where's the undertaker?
Simple thots of a simple fellow. Wouldn't the scale inspector have a nice job in a "School of Fish"!
Editor-"Where do you get all those jokes, Edith?"
Edith-"Oh, out of the air, so to speak."
Editor-"Then, I suggest you go where there is some fresh air."

Arithmetic. He was teaching her arithmetic, He said it was his mission. He kissed her once, he kissed her twice, And said, "Now, that's addition."
And as they added kiss to kiss, With silent satisfaction. She timidly gave one back, And said "That's subtraction."
She kissed him and he kissed her, Then with out an exclamation,
Together they both said, "Let's call that multiplication."
Just then Dad appeared upon the scene, And he in stern decision, Kicked poor Jack three blocks away, And said, "Now that's Long Division."
"Literature, The Twenty-third Psalm, Ford Flivver"
The flivver is my auto ; I shall not want another. It maketh me to lie down under it; soureth my soul.
It leadeth me into the paths of ridicule for its namesake.
Yea, though I ride through the valley, I am towed up the hill.
For I fear much evil-thy rod and thy engine discomfort me.
I annoint its tires with patches, my radiator runneth over.
Surely if this follows me all the days of my life, I shall live in the bug- house forever.
Trusting friends must part they say ; Fondest hearts must sever. But friendship's bonds will last for aye, And memory lives for ever.
But we will go and you shall miss, Each word, each look, each smile, The vanquished pressure of your bliss, And long for you the while.
This parting pain, To those whom fate must sever ; We only say good-by again, And trust 'tis not forever. Finis.
