Babbitt and Towner in Trouble. udge Babbitt and Tracey L. Towner, who are at Chickamaug-a, got into serious trouble in camp. They were rounded with bayonets and narrowly escaped injury. The story runs this way. They were both standing in the drill grounds while the battalion was executing the different commands of the major. They carried a large umbrella and palm leal fans. Tracey was constantly pointing at some part of the battalion while he was conversing with the judge, and the judge laughed. This made the major hot as it did also the men, and a charge was made on them. They were surrounded with bayonets and could not move without being pritked. What could they do? The major gave them the command that each shouid make a speech. This Judge Babbitt cuuld easily do just as well as though he were surrounded by the Daughters of the Revolution, but Tracey could not say a word. The only noise he made was the shaking of his bones and the clattering of his teeth. Judge Chlld's Successor. '-2J July 4 Judge Childs' term of office as justice of the peace expired and the new justice asumed the duties. Justice Childs' successor is a promising young man residing in the First ward of the city of Tpsilanti. He is in every way qualified to assume the duties incumbent upon a justice, as his past record shows. Like Mr. Childs, nis successor is a blond, good-natured fellow well met, always looking upon the bright side of life, and is unmarried. In comparing the ex-justice and the present justice of the peace, it is a peculiar coincidence that they are both lame and wear glasses, and they each have a natural conception of what justice is. Justice Childs has made for himself an envious reputation during his term of office and has made friends of new acquaïntahces and has lost none. In retiring from the office he has made up his mind to pursue the same vocation as heretofore, and intends to always remain with us. What has been said of him can al so be said of the new justice. Justice Childs succeeds, himself. Our Xpw Principal. Prof. W. B. Arbaugh, the new principal of the high school, is a man of five years' experience in the public schools of Ohio, three years of which he taught in Annapolis, his heme. In 1896 he graduated from Scio college, Scio, O., where he tutored in Greek during hissenior year. He entered the CTniversity of Michigan in the fall of '97 and pursued special work in Greek and Latin, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts a few weeks ago. During Mr. Arbaugh's residence in Ann Arbor he was prominent in many of his class affairs and was one of the vice-presidents of the Students' Christian association. Another gcod qualification of the new principal is tha.t he takes a decided interest in athletic sports and will encourage all that is legitímate in that line. As a. scholar and his fitness to occupy so important a position, it can be said of him that lis recommendation from the professors at Michigan and where he previously taught are of the highest order, and Ypsilantians will soon learn that the cholee was a wise one. Joke on Yost. C. L. Yost, the livery man, is considered about as sharp as anyone in the norse business. Occassionally, howrever, he falls by the way side. Recently he traded horses with a city doctor and as the boys express it "got it up his nose." A few days after the unfortunate occurance a couple of his friends were sitting in front of his barn and one asked of the other, "Where is Les?" He has gone to get shaved the other replied - "Why does he gro away from home to get shaved when Dr.- will come right down to the barn and do it for him." "Yes that's all right but Doe. shaves so close that he draws blood and hurts, and Les don't like iL"
