I suggested it before,
Wiley Woodruff,
So you needn't feel so sore,
Wiley Woodruff,
That your dwellers by the Kaw,
Might get it in the jaw,
$d you needn't bo so raw,
Wiley Woodruff.
You may tie old Pennsylvania,
Wiley Woodruff
But, however much it pain ye.
Wiley Woodruff
It's a fact beyond a cavil
That your fellows bit the gravel,
And you didn't need to travel
Wiley Woodruff.
You may work the paper gag
' Wiloy Woodruff
Till your backers hold the bag
Wiloy Woodruff.
But for one who knows his job
And is not an inch the snob
You're not in it with our Rob
Wily Woodruff.

llis troubles have begun,
And ours have ceased, lor lie has gone
To dwell in Washington.
Yes, gone and married is R. P. Teelo,
We've nothing hero to get books witji
Wo should call back I really feol,
The- shades of time-worn "Elsie" Smith.
For we must have at our command,.
Someone who truly understands
The caucus system which I fear
JFJas raised the library this year,
And one who really will nqt sliy at
A well developed alcove riot.
'Phon gratulations hearty, Teelo,
Witirwishes for a prosperous life
And salary big enough to keep
Yourself, your troubles, and your wife.
