FOOT BALL DAYS.
N''
50.
rd'a
The foot ball days have come again, the gladdest of the year;
One side of Willie's nose is gone,
and Tom has lost an ear;
Heaped on the field, the players jab
and punch and claw and tear.
They knock the breath from those
beneath and gongue without care;
They break each other's arms and
legs, and pull joints out of place.
And here and there is one who gets
his teeth kicked from his face.
The freshman and the sophomore, besmeared with grine and mud, Go galantly to get the ball and quit all bathed in blood;
The senior knocks the junior down and kicks him in the chest,
The high school boy is carried home and gently laid at rest.
While here and there a crowded stand collapses 'neath its weight. And forty people get more than they paid for at the gate.
O brave, O happy, careless days!
How deep the mother's joy
When time she thinks of all the things they're doing to her boy!
How proud she is to know that he is on the team; how sweet
His face appears to her since it is only bloody meat;
With honest pride she lays away his amputated ear
And puts his eye in alcohol to be a souvenir.
-From The Weekly Columbian.
REPORT OF THE OUILL GLUB
The first critical paper of the year was given to the Club at its last meeting by Mr. Keyes. Miss Lynn and Mr. Edson took the chief part in the discussion which followed its delivery.
Mr. Edson read a few poems written by a quaint Kansas writer, Robert West, whose very evident religious sincerity protects him in a measure from harsh criticism however much his verses may lack of literary merit.
Miss Borland was elected an active member.
Mr. Winton mentioned a few of the particularly good features in the current number of Harper's Monthly.
