A "Pome"
Someone at the Fort who signs him
self "K. E. B. " has-takerf the liberty
of monkeying with the muse sends the
I following effusion with the request to
publish , so here goes :
Have you heard the latest
About the Ball Nine
Out at the Post
Prom Dear Valentine.
The post , and the city
They came together
And more is a pitty
It was not another.
The game was a cinch
So they all say
'They couldn't gain an inch"
In the Ball Game today.
The day was so hot
Water went so fast
That the town boys forgot
To play ac last.
Their pitcher wore a cap
They say its a Joaner
He is a fine chap
But no good for a winner.
Well , the town was beat <
Then we heard the bugle say
Come in and eat
With the soldiers today.
The boys in town , can boast
How they beat us one time
They were beat by the post
That gallant old nine.
27 to 7 was the score
In fayor of our boys.
But some got sore
For they thought we Were toys.
Go way back and sit down
You can't play ball.
I guess you will frown
Again before fall.
Friday , we will try you again
But please dont boast
About playing a game
With the scrubs , at the post.
We don't need to try
To win the game
But we can come nigh ,
Doing it again.
Well good bye boys
We wish you good luck
We are the easiest toys
You ever have struck.
K. E. B ,
Our readers will agree that the above
is great , and
Lives of great men all remind us ,
We can make our lives sublime ,
And , departing , leave behind us
Footprints 10x29.
Fort vs Valentine.
Talk about your base ball teams
In and around Nebraska state ,
The best one though , to me it seems ,
Will now be put into shade
By a certain nine of boys in blue ,
. From the Thilipines just landed.
Last Friday , it's honest and true ,
To Valentine a surprise they handed.
Twenty one to ten was the score ;
Oh , such a cinch ; it was a shame.
And don't you think they were not sore
And claimed , Webb was to blame ,
I tell you now , Webb done his best ,
And would have won the game.
But the boys m blue , they batted fast ,
You see it's this way , how it came :
We all did kuow that money was bet ,
The Fort would not get two tallies ,
But the boys in blue , their minds had set ,
To make a few good sallies.
When Valentine scored lour , to start ,
Holy smoke ! how they did yell ,
But in their shoes did drop their hearts ,
When the glory went to hell.
Two taggers , three baggers the boys did make
Without their shoes , without their caps ;
I tell you they were wide awake
And gayg that ball some awful raps.
Kijckje.d ouf'ap unj'pjre , put a gooft'one Jn ,
Thin made Jwplye puns la ope jnjiinff. ' "
They grumbled with a grimy fron :
'Go way back , Valentine , and sit down. "
, Then , when the game at last was won ,
To Stetter's all tiio boys did come ,
The beer was free , it is no dream.
And by the electric gas light gleam
Closed friendship with Goodrich , Tucker &
Kimbell.
Before going home , gave the whole assembly :
"Hurrah lor Valentine , Hip , Hip , Hurrah ,
Some other day again we will play. "
A W9W tQ
Hypnotism fras repjeyed anpther
hard blow. And in Milwaukep , at
that.
that.An
An ardent follower of the mesmeric
art offered to wager $100 that he could
get into & pasture in which a ferocious
bull was charging everything in sight
ap4 fey na.eians of a few passes put the
anjml to slpejj ,
TUe wger"was pr.ompjtly accepted
by a friend , and the ametep'r Syangaji
began operations. He wake } $ bpldly
up to the animal , stared it in the eye
and made a pass. So did the bull.
The artist sidestepped and tried again.
Then , in the parlance of the sport ,
ihefp w s "something doing" .
The bujl refused fa .recognize the
superiority of mind over matter. fa
violation , of every rule of the hypnotic
rnanuaj ; jbt swooped .cUjwn on he luck

an inch board , breaking it beyond re
pair , and also fracturing three ribs of
his antagonist.

'
al , hfi apfcBPysg he had lost the
wsger and that he sroujjl p"y nft pro

Of course the bull ought to have
known better. He should have
promptly rolled over on his side and
begun snoring at a prodigious rate.
But he didn't.
It is quite a blow to science , but
hereafter , when that hypnotist wishes
to overcome another angry bull he will
probably feed him on half a barrel of
the stuff that made Milwaukee famous.
Then perhaps the hypnotic spell will
work. It will , of course , ' be slightly
irregular , but it will be a blamed sight
more effective and safer. Omaha
