Each Fall, as the students return to
school from their widely-scattered
homes, campus story-telling sessions
are especially prevalent for some time.
These first convocations are always
the best attended, the longest in point
of time,and the most prolific as regards
tall and dubious stories. The current
season has been an especially brilliant
one. We take the liberty of printing
a few of the stories overheard, but not,
be it understood, with any intention of
heaping ridicule upon the authcr?, or
of creating an atmosphere of doubt
upon the campus. Oui’ sole and noble
intention is to set down for posterity
the record of the marvels of our age
and the ingenuity of our people.

farmer was forced to climb the tree
and punch a hole in the bottom of the
well in order to get water.
Red Pepper Stunt
The people of Minnesota have al-
ways been noted for their resourceful-
ness and ingenuity, as witness their
experience in dealing with the
gophers. These wily little animals had
been causing a great deal of trouble
to the farmers, who were at a loss for
some method of getting rid of them.
Necessity is the mother of invention,
however, and a remedy was finally
found. The farmer would pick out a
few large rocks about his field and
sprinkle a trail of red pepper closely
around each one. After the farmer had
returned to his home, the gophers,
coming out to investigate, would sniff
the pepper and, in the subsequent fit
of sneezing, knock their brains out on
the rocks.
We could write volumes of such
stories, each vouched for by some stu-
dent at St. Edward’s, but these four
will suffice for the present. If this
wks#?
ing boom period in the formerly un-
inhabited, sandy wastes of East Texas
brought many new settlers, eager to
make their fortunes in the land of the
Black Gold. Alas! these simple folk
were unprepared for the terrible hard-
ships of the country, the foremost of
which were the giant mosquitoes. One
hot summer day a laborer, tired from
his morning’s work and drowsy after
his noon-day meal, lay under a tree
for a few moments’ repose before re-
turning to work. Imagine, if you can,
his chagrin upon awakening a few
minutes later to find himself being
transported through the skies by two
mosquitoes, who were conversing as
to the best place to eat their catch.
“I have it,” explained the first mos-
quito, “Let’s take him down to the
river bank.” “No,” responded the sec-

ond. “There’s a big mosquito down
there and he’ll take this guy away
from us.”
Still More Mosquitoes
On another occasion, an East Texas
oil man, seeing three of these giant
mosquitoes bearing down on him, has-
tily grabbed a sledge-hammer and hid
himself under an over-turned iron ket-
tle. As quickly as a mosquito could
bore his way through the kettle, the
man would attack its proboscis from
the inside, bending it over against the
sides of the kettle. Thus, in a few
minutes, he had all three mosquitoes
trapped, their bills locked securely on
the inside. Realizing that they had
been bested, the mosquitoes made an
undignified retreat, flying off in
search of friends to help rid them of
the kettle.
West Texas,according to reports, is
the land of high winds. One student,
whose veracity is unimpeachable, re-
ports that a recent wind storm blew
a farmer’s well out of the ground and
hung it in a tree. The unfortunate
edition of the Echo should fall into
the hands of some who are not well
acquainted with St. Edward’s, they
cannot fail to recognize one reason
why this is the ideal place to secure a
liberal education. After all—Vas ya
dare, Sharlie? .-
