since. She joined the Philornathean Society, ancl made a wonderful address upon her reception as a member. Since that clay she has made many other speeches and always gives the powerful reason of "cause" for her assertions. This is her greatest argument. Then, too, she has that "sticktoitiveness" about her, that "never-give-up" spirit, which we all admire in a person. This has steered her over many seeming impossibilities and often given her the victory. She has kept a diary since her Freshman Year, and, having caught a glimpse of it one day, I give here a few of her entries: "Flunked in logic, while thinking of ---." * * * "Smiled at him four times at dinner;" * '" * "had parlor last night; got 'stuck' four times-he talked to me only six times." * * * "Mr. --- called me Mickey-got mad;" * * * "took shoes down to be mended-saw him, on my way back." * * * "Missed 7 A. M. inspection-had to keep study hall." These are only a few entries, but will suffice to give an idea of how interesting her diary must be. Miss McCauley has many friends, especially on the boys' side. Joseph Lawrence McKinstry lives at McKinstry, in Carroll County, and is twenty years old. No sooner had he entered College than he became infatuated with the charms of a young lady in the city-but, ah! the bitterness of it. His passion, like many another poor fellow's, was returned. This affair lasted but a ' short while, however, and we next find him involved in a similar affair in his Senior Year. This case is still pending, and it is believed will result in Joe's becoming a husband. Joe has great insight. So much so that when he asked the Latin professor in some deep-sought question in his Sophomore Year, the pro- fessor missed the point and "never a word spake he." His favorite study is his- tory. In addition to his College work, Joe has begun and almost completed his family history, to be published in six octavo volumes four years hence. Begin- ning with Nero, he has traced the history on down through a long line of Roman Emperors, and even through to Captain Kidd, that noble pirate. When Joe reached this point he became somewhat discouraged, but he has lately renewed his work and is looking for its completion in time for publication. Joe had a hard time to get suited in his picture for graduation. He had ten sittings, and each successive proof looked so much more like him than the previ- ous one that he became discouraged of ever getting a good-looking picture and took the first. What a pity it is that a photographer can't suit his customers and get a camera that will take true, good-looking pictures ! Joe has a red head. 52
