...graduates". This indicates an exceedingly faulty estimate of Dr. Magoun's character on the part of the authorities of the English Department. Although still a young man, he has already pursued scholarship to the point of pedantry, and shows so great an enthusiasm for the mechanics of literature,--bibliographies, card catalogs, and philological dictionaries,--that he seems to have lost any love for literature itself.

...Hackensack, N. J., one Joseph Schnugg grinned at the five cards of a poker hand he had just been dealt. There was the ace of hearts, the king, queen, jack of hearts, and another card that was neither a heart nor a ten.
