I met H11 old seafaring man. who whispered low to me, that he, above all others, had the gift of prophesy. And after making many boasts of the things that he wuld do. He talked about the weather and asked me for a chew. I told him that I tlitl not smoke, nor neither dicl l chew. But, said I to the aged man, 'lI have a task for you. Unveil the future of oulr class. Aml tell the things to come to pass for every sin- gle man. The old man spat and murmured, HGood,H Auil Hshivered his timbers. but he would ; And smiliugly began: Adams a philosopher will be, Expouuding thought and theory: Grave proverbs from his lips shall come, Striking his wondering hearers dumb. Agnew as a farmer will sow the seed. Exterminating bug and weed; And far away titom care and strife Hall at last depart this mortal life. Barringer will explore life's mystery. And delve in the secrets of chemistry: But half his burden of toil and can: A jolly, bloomin' wife will share. Buescher will figure in high finance; Helll lead prospectors a. merry dance, And when heis made his little pile, Helll bask in fortune's sunny smile. 21 All hall to Caldwell, the future sawhones, Who'll carve and cut, not healing our groans; With a curious, pleasant, offhand grin, lrl-eill carve us open and explore within, And, aided by a whiff of chloroform. He'll extract the appendix vcrmiform. Durrah shall be a. drummer hold; His Iine'i will bring him wealth untold; And although hels a sport. helll save his rocks, And helll carry a cane and wear openwork sucks But when he's tired of business strife, Helll buy an estate and change a wifet And settle down to domestic life; And then a monrufnl sport we'll see. Rocking three kids upon each knee Dyeris ambition. so he himself avowst Is to be the owner of a prosperous hash housC'. And then a mournful sport weill sect He'll s-ell Huhigis pies at the pearly gates, Emhshoff, our man of ample length, In searching the sky will spend his strcngth, For, being quite near to hcavcn. you see, Helll best succeed in astronomy. Dock's professional shingle will read thus: z'Doc Fold. Vet. Surgeon, thatls us. But,-alas! for his professional fame. Horse doctor will be his common name. To kill or cure he'll agree! But whichever he does hclll get his fee. Fleischer will deal in bonds and stocks, A typical broker. as wise as a fox, lly his wonderful business power His wealth will accumulate hour by hour.

And threw in our lot in our city to stay. So stay we didibut not very long, For at home they saw that they were wrong; In enormous crowds the men came rushing. Each one the one in front of him pushing. Immediately at our feet did they fall, Imploring us with the voices of allot Only to come back to our native city, And on their lonely sculs to have pity; Saying that in all We should have our way, If only We would come hack and stay; Nothing we asked would be denied- Uhl Come hack ! all in unison cried. Again in the hall a meeting was held. And the death of our city was loudly knelled. Sn. after an absence of a single day, And since evelything was to be our way He decided to go would he no shame, And for our departure the men were to blame. So because we are always good and kind.

But it wasn't our fault that we had failed. BESSIE TENNENF-ALTAL
