TWO EARS AND A FOOT
(Sent to Prof. Tinslcy by a former
colleague in return for a pair of ears
and left hind foot of a Jack rabbit.)
Sho' I's in lifck! dat rabbit's ears
Should bring good luck fo' twenty years!
An' den, dat foot! oh my! Oh My!
My hopes ob luck am risin' high.
My rbeumatiz am cured so good
I goes right out an' saws dat wood!
My taters dat I thot was froze
Am just a few on top I knows.
An' den, dat coon dat simmers so,—
De rabbit's foot brot dat, I know.
w
De 'possum dot I goes to find,—
De fattest ob de 'possum kind,—
Is treed down whar de dog I hears;
1£ase, ain't I gdt de rabbit's earsf
What's datf Another chicken sho'tf
Why, dat's de chicken Mandy caught.
No owl aroun' dis place can hoot,
Fo-' sho' I's got the rabbit's foot.
I's eatin' putty reg'lar now,
'Kase Mandy cooks, an' she knows how.
I's eatin' coons', an' gophers, too—
Fo' Mandy often makes a stew.
Now when dis simmerin' coon am gone,
Jnst send de rest ob dat rabbit on!
THE DEED
I did a silly thing today;
It seemed a useless one.
In doing 't seemed much sillier
Than when it had been done.
Oh, what a*foolish thing it was!
How foolishly I ..felt!
In doing it so foolish seemed,
I felt my brain would melt!
In doing it I did no harm,
No person by it wronged—
In doing it I felt so lost,
Kriew not where I belonged!
Oh, don't you know what this thing was,
Yon have so wise a look—
I went down town to Mr. Stone's,
And "had my picture took!"
"If you strike a thorn or rose,
Keep a-goin,.
If it hails or if it snows,
Keep a-goin'.
Taint no use to sit and wnine ,,
When the fish ain't on your line,
Bait your hook an' keep on fryin,'
Keep a-goin.'"
Why were the middle ages known as
the dark agesf ' ..V\:'
Because there were so many knights.

Like fragrance blown from garden
aisles •
Of roses after rain,
Sweet thoughts the windows of the
heart
Love memories drift again.
Like magic borne from twilight flutes
Through evening's starry door,
Or song of thrush from woodland dusk
Loved voices speak once more.
Like that sweet touch of twilight's lips
The drowsy flowers know,
We feel again the tender kiss
That hushed us long ago.
Oh, summer night, you summon back
From lost and vanished years
The music stilled, the dreams forgot,
The laughter and the tears.
DID YOU EVER?
Did you ever sit and wish
You nad the nerve
To cross the tloor with manly stride
To where the college beauty sits
Enraptured with the formulae of Chem-
istry
And stroke her quietly on the head
And wish her best of luck
And ask her for a date that night?
Did you ever sit and wish
You had the nerve
To rise in haughty dignity,
And leave the room without a word
When the thoughtless, thundering Prof.
Forgets to heed the ringing bell?
—Exchange.

WHAT YOU HAVE GIVEN AWAY
Carve you name high over shifting sand,
I* Where the steadfast rocks defy decay;
All you can hold in your cold dead hand
Is what you have given away.
Build your pyramid skyward, and stand
Gazed at by millions—culture they say;
All you can hold in your cold dead hand
Is what you have given away.
Count your wide conquest of sea and
land,
Heap up the gold and hoard as you
may;
All you can hold in your cold dead hand
Is what you have given away.
Culture and fame and gold, ah, so grand
—Kings you may be in the world of
today; 4
But all you can hold in your cold dead
hand
Is whiyt you have given away.

: "
'* Do you know what a polyclinic is?"
"Of course, stupid. It is a hospital
for parrots.' '—Baltimore American.
Choice selections from Latin quiz pa-
pers of a sister college:
' "Jove was one of the goddesseB." 105
"A Roman circle was round at one
end."
"The poets of Virgil's time wrote
mostly in prose."
"The Appian Way was a road across
the Appenines."
Some suppers make me furious;
In fact, so very mad
That I am wont to fume with rage,
And I do—that's What's sad!
But who could eat with gracious ease,
Without a sigh or fret:
Rice, bread, and beat so very rare
That it is raring yet!
Still,' we should smile with pleasantness
And take things as they come;
For though we haven't all we want,
We certainly have some.
