Same 01 Gag Is Pulled Long Ago LANCASTER, Pa. Nov. 30.—Col- lege studcnts wroie home for mon- ey in 1788. Dr. H. M. J. Klein, professor of history at Franklin and Marshall College, found a letter written one year after the college was found- ed in which the student made an appeal to his father for funds The father was Peter Rhoads, Sr., member of the Pennsylvania Assembly. The request was written by Mr.} Rhoads, Jr, who was graduated from Franklin and Marshall, in 17€, and later of the Northampton Bank. The son wrote: “Dear Father:— Your favor of the 13th last I re- ceived on the 8th ... Gibson’s sur- veying is not immediately neces- sary, but it (The book) would great- ly assist me. In this you may please yourself, and I am satisfied. I will, with the help of God, learn that the money you have advanced me shall not be lost.” Why the Traffi - Was Speeded Up | ZANESVILLE, O.

She says she wants to be called “Helga” and wants to go to sea. CHAPTER TWO Helga's Song The very next day after Santa made Helga, the doll of the North, he had cause to worry about her. He was in the midst of finishing about for three solid hours slipping all the little ivory keys into place, and as he finished each piano a very solemn gnome with ears as big as saucers sat down and played the scales, “Do, re, mi, fa, sol—" just to test the sound. When all the pianos were finished Santa sat down in the middle of the floor. He works very hard, but when he’s through he loves to play, too.
