ghe 94. 9. 9. fpisade .59 The wind one night was cold as ice, It tossed the snow like grains of rice, And whirled away in strange caprice And frantic glee. But naught can halt a strong young heart, Just touched by Cupid's glancing dart, When from her side he stands apart, But A. D, T. And thus it was: A lad that night Danced in thrills of pure delight For from a lass he'd gained the right Escort to be. He dressed him in his neatest tileg About his lips there played a smile While waiting for a little while For-A. D. T! A note he bore, just one white note! Our hero's heart leaped to his throat, He thrust it deep into his coat Where none could see. Then all his hopes aside he laid And other plans forthwith he made, But not until he'd fully paid The A. D. T. It read like this, as you must know: I'll have to disappoint you so! My brother's ill, I can not go, Ah, woe is me! As this is now too late to mend By mail or phone, let Fates attend While now this note to you I'll send By A. D. T. The lass! Oh, such is cruel Fate! She watched the ling'ring hours grow late, Impatient though she deigned to wait- All ready she. At last she heard a footstep fall, The door bell ring, and then a call Alas, it wasn't he at all, But A. D. T! J And like the first, a note he bore, She took it as she closed the door, Then broke the seal as oft before- Alone was she. 143

premises. The defendant in his answer and cross-petition alleges that McKelvey cursed loudly and heaped imprecations' foul and blighting upon the head of the defendant and cross-petitioner and called him numerous vile names, to-wit, 'Buttinslcy and Rubber- neck,' whereupon the defendant and cross-petitioner remonstrated with the said Mclielvey, and called his attention to the fact that it was the Lord's Day, and that loud noises thereon were prohibited by the village ordinance of Podunlc, that Kirwan suddenly and without warning laid violent hands upon him, to-wit, one hand on collar of his Sunday coat and one hand upon the seat of his office pants, and, lifting the defendant and cross-petitioner high in the air, carried him in this disconcerting and embarrassing attitude across the yard, and hurled him with great fo-rce and violence into the public highway, thereby dislocating the defendant's right shoul- der and detaching two ribs from the sternum and spoiling one fine white vest. The court finds its task made much easier by the most excellent brief filed by Martin it Eager, attorneys for the plaintiff, and by the able arguments of Blezek and Seybold, attorneys for the de- fendant. We affirm the action of the lower court in finding the defendant guilty of trespass qumfe ala-usum fregit and fine him 32.50 therefore, and that Mclielvey and Kirwan are liable for the expense of medical attention to defendant's injuries, but are not liable for the white vest, there being no privity between it and the defendant. 142 '

Of force and sense it ran the same Except it bore another name, And, too, a brother was to blame For A. D. T. All unabashed at school next day Notes were compared to their dismay, And both had very much to say, But cou1dn't see Just who it was who did the deed, Though hard they question, strong they plead, Nor could they see the urgent need Of A. D. T! Since then the days have all been peace, No trouble came, but jokes increase, Though hard they try to be at ease In troubled sea. But till all things go back to dust, Till gilded piles decay with rust, These two will evermore distrust The A. D.
