BLvby's Retreat.
Scrap's the word!
Let well-enough bis tired 1
Prof J. V. Boomer of Liberty, former business
manager of this sliuel, orator, politician, presiding
elder, poet and general pusher has recently been
ohosen to deliver the Memorial Daj address at Lib
erty, Ncbr., on condition that he will not use any of
his last year's jokes or quote from Ooldsmith. He is
in great demand. His latest achievement is a met
rieul "Composition on Musie" read before the gran
dees of his adopted city. It. moved the audience,
but was generally pronounced better than any origi
nal vocal illustration of his text.
Dear Hoonier, fame has you fast,
Your metre every heart inspires!
Oh, tell us bow long this will last
So wo may put on extra wires
To spread your fame on lightning wing
Achieved in "Music," Love" or 'Spring."
1.ANS1NO ENJOYMENT
The richest joy ot all life's store,
Winch brightened my brief span,
Was just to sit on the "Jfirst Floor"
To hear "El Capitan "
ECOE KEGKNTS COME TO CIIAl'KL.
I think when regents arc about
Wis ought, to make a show.
The faculty should all turn out
Enough, at least to till one vow.
The eager students g.iily throng
To join in one glad welcome song.
But wh"ii the later days arrives
Willi regents not in session,
Py hook or crook we can't contrive
(Kind heaven forgive my frank confession!)
To make our chapel service sweet
With piety and empty seats
IS THE I'USM SBK KUIII.MAN'S NOSE.
1 saw that rabid Lansing mob,
Their ribs, arms, feet, promiscuous lay.
And buttons, cigarettes, and gum,
Thick scattered o'er that, gory way.
1 only thought with fond vegrvt
The faculty again had met.
A HANK CONFESSION
I
Hark! the chapel bell is ringing.
Let us go to take a stroll;
Nature gives for soulless singing
Sweet retrains that stir the soul.
Come with me and wander sprightly
In the fragrant morning air;
Let our buoyant spirit lightly
Ureal h a truer chapel prayer
II
Empty forms may weakly linger
After spirits have expired;
If they'd introduce some "ginger"
It wouldn't be sodarnalllired
Oh confess, with shame and blushing,
We can only make a show
By a called mass meeting! Mushing
Students otherwise don't go.
