Wlio is that boy I see? What is he do-ing here? Oh yes, he is a col-lege boy. I-le's in his Fresh-man year. He seems so ve-ry big. Is he big-ger than the rest? Oh yes, he is so ve-ry great That he al-most splits his vest. Will he next year not feel so great? Will his head next year grow small? Oh no, he'll be a Soph'-more then And feel above them all. What made him come so far to school? What is he here to do? He wish-ed to learn, and also show The profs a thing or two. Did he show the profs that he was wise? Oh no, he gave them pain. He knew so lit-tle that they sighed And said, Poor ver-dant thing. Is he a very peace-ful boy? And does he never fight? Oh no, he some-times lights the Sophs And takes their socks by might. He likes to go on browses, too, He took some grub along, He made the woods re-echo, With yells and col-lege song. I-le makes mis-takes quite of-ten, too, He walks a-cross the grass, He stumbles on the buck-brush And of-ten cuts his class. His fu-ture life is all mapped out, He will a Jun-nior beg We have no fears since that is true, A luc-ky man is he. 88

The following is the story of the first Marchen fEin Mann hatte einen Esel, etc.J as Professor Wirtz received it in the examination papers of- Tl-IE GUSHING GIRL. A gentleman had a donkey and he was the dearest, lovliest old beast, and so terribly abused iby his awfully cross old master, who wanted to kill him just because he couldn't carry sacks on his poor back. And it was the smartest little mule and ran away to Bremen and it found a lovely tired doggie who had had the same perfectly dreadful time as the donkey, so he went with him. And they found a sweet, dear, pussy cat, sitting in the road and it was so perfectly unhappy that it was making the saddest little face and its dear little teeth were all worn out, and it went, too. And then-well, the last part is so confusing, all about a silly little cock and doing things with all ons'e strength that I just can't remember it. THE IMPOSSIBLE PREP. A guy had a pusillanimous old donk who had hustled like the next one till he much on the bum was. They cut him out of his eatings and would 'ave slugged him if they had had the chance, but the old donk got wise and a skiddoo took to Bremen, where he sighted a job in a band. About the first quarter he almost fell over a bally pup, who had also been invited to leave his happy home and had made such a rush for it that he was about all in. The donk put a bug in his ear about the music bluff they could put up in the next town and they hiked on. Before they were well under way they hailed a sore looking cat that had messed things up in general at his house and had made his getaway just in time to save his can. This is all I got. TI-IE WORDY WISE HEAD. In the process of time there existed a man who owned an aged beast of burden and 'because the flight of years had stolen away its physical caliber the master wished to bring his career to an ignominious and violent end, but the quadrupecl sensed the impending calamity and fled precipitately toward the city Bremen. In his lonely wan- derings he discovered three kindred spirits, like him, victims of an unheralded dis- pleasure and marble hearted fate. To chronicle their vagrant wanderings, the cunning stratagems and unparelleled success is beyond the power of my humble pen. 89
