some because they can’t help it The class who drank the supply that Rosey bad left were evidently the kind that some harsh methods of reform will have to be applied to. The Purdue college boys, including Vaughn Woodworth, Omar Day, Paul Glazebrook, Lillo Hauter and Prof. Ray . Yeoman, arrived home yesterday. And Ray Hopkin* and George Long came home from Wabash. A cartoon by McCutcheon in the Chicago Tribune this week quite appropriately illustrated the college boy’s holiday vacation at borne. The first picture showed a mother greeting her sop with open arms on his return from college. His face beamed with joy to find bis mother well and the mother’s face exhibited her pride at the cultured air of tbe son, and she was proud that he was to spend his vacation at home. Tbe next picture showed him leaving the bouse to accept an Invitation to supper and he was also to attend a ball that evening that would not let him home before 3 a. m. The next day he responded to a dinner invitation an <T this program of absence was carried out throughout bis vacation. One of tbe pictures showed the parents seated at the Christmas dinner. The son’s chair was vacant, as he had been invited out, and father was saying: “Well, I wonder if I shall get to see him while he is here.’’ Parents of college boys confirm tbe truthfulness of the cartoon. The boy* are anxious to get home, but just as soon as they are satisfied that mother and father are all right they are off to attend to the social affairs of the season, and there is an unresponsive longing in the parents' hearts for some of the boy’s vacation time.
