The Freshmen Should you ask nie whence these Freshmen, Whence this tribe of boasting buclcs. With the odors of tlie forest, Hair slick ' d down with oil of bear grease, With the airs of some great chieftain. And the flush of oid chief ' s money. With their thousand repetitions. And the various definitions. Of their great and mighty missions? I should answer, I should tell you, ' From the region of the cornfield. From the swamps along the river. Where my dad is grand and mighty, ' And ■ I ' m worshiped b - the squaws. ' Where I eat fat meat in hunger, ' And ■ the squaws are somewhat younger Than t ' ne ones that you have here. ' Should you ask where Grand Chief Miki Found these wonderful embryos. Of these most stupendous follies? I should answer, I s ' nould tell you, ' In the lodge ' nis letters enter, With their suave, ' you only ' manner, In the tribes where lesser chieftains Gather these young bucks together. Send them fighting up the vallej ' . Till they reach the Great Chief ' s village. If still further you should ask me, Saying, AMio is Grand Chief iliki? ' Tell us of this Grand Chief Miki. I should answer straight your question, ' In the great wgwani called Xewcomb, At the inner lodge you knock ; When vou enter there vou ' ll find him AVith his hierogtyphic pad, With his feet upon a basket And a-scratching there like mad. He ' s a kindly chief, this Miki, Though at times he swngs his hatchet, Screaming out the warrior ' s wrath. He, the Chief, the Mighty Miki, Calls at times the Freshmen to him, Calls and they obey his mandate Or the tribe will lose a savage. Then they stand in awe before him, Pleading that their time of lodging Be extended with his people. And the scalps they ' ll swing Ijeside them i be proof of their devotion. Thus the Fres ' nmen gather yearly At the Mighty Cliief ' s command; Gather to the great Svengali, Great S ' engaH, Mighty Wise Man. And the scjuaws of many wigwams Sorely taxed are in the mornings To arouse the sleeping heroes While they keep the smoking steak. And the leaders of the war-path Paw the earth at frequent times Just because the Ijucks are missing. Splashing in the nearest pool. So it is the Freshmen gatlier. And if there is more you ' d know, Ask these mighty men, they ' ll tell j ' ou. For if scalps they cannot show. They will tell you of the many They have carved so long ago. E. M. M.
