Considering the very high stand ards our athletics at M. A.

This i> a sort of a tops'y turvv the money he can earn world. Xo one seems to be satis fied. One man is struggling to get justice,'and another is t h i ng from it. One man is saving up to buy a house and another is trying hard to Sell his dwelling for less than it cost, to get rid of it. One man is spend ing all in taking a girl to a theater or show and sending her valuable in hopes that he may eventually make her his wife, and his neighbor is spending all the gold he has saved trying to get a divorce. One man keeps a pistol to protect himself against burglars, while his neighbor doesn't keep one for fear of shoot ing himself or some member of the family.—Ex. presents Dairy Employment Agency Lansing, Michigan.
