There was a bold young engineer, Who'd just got out of school, He had a lot of great big books.
Engineer's Ramble Song.
He had a lot of great big books,
And knew he was no fool.
They set him marking station-pins,
But he didn't know the code.
So they ditched him twelve miles
out of camp,
And let him hunt the road.
Oh didn't he ramble--
He then went down into the depths Where Satan runs the plant.
He got a job as electric man,
And thought he'd make some tin,
They sent him up a big tall pole
To put a feeder in;
He lost his grip and tumbled back,
But grabbed the wires bright.
Then hung on for a moment till
The juice put out his light.
Oh, didn't he ramble
He wanted to see the chief engineer,
But Satan said, "You can't;"
"They're going."
Here are no engineers' down here,
For that could never be."
He then ascended up above,
Then he said, "I guess I'll ramble on;
This is no place for me."
This is no place for me." And on he rambled—
And knocked at the golden gate. The city—it was full of Laws—
He saw he was too late.
They wanted him to take his place
Upon the royal throne
But he said, "I guess I'll ramble on; I'd rather be alone."
I'd rather be alone," And still he rambled.
NEWSPAPER QUALIFICATIONS.
Mr. Vandergrift Tells What a Reporter Should be.
F. L. Vandergrift, for twelve years manager of the "Kansas News Bureau" of the Kansas City Star at Topeka, lectured to the newspaper classes yesterday at 11:15 o'clock on "The Newspaper Man and His Job." Mr. Vandergrift is a man of varied experience and his lecture was one of the most original that has been given to the newspaper classes. He advanced some new and valuable ideas on getting and writing news. He emphasized the importance of a reporter's writing from his own store of knowledge. He said that a receptive mind and a good pair of legs are the first requisites of a reporter, and that one should cultivate the funny side if he would be a good newspaperman. "After all," said he, "the best school of Journalism is the country newspaper.
Mr. Vandergrift graduated from the Cincinnati Law School and practiced law for awhile but could not make a living at that. He quit it and came west and was for several years editor of the "Atchison Patriot" until its publication was discontinued. He then began work for the Kansas City Star where he has had charge of all the political news of the state capitol and of the state for the last twelve years. Mr.Vandergrift said that the salary of the average newspaper reporter is larger than the income of the average doctor or lawyer.

The game up to the second half was very close, being 11 to 10 in favor of the engineers. In general, it was a comparatively rough game and there were many close decisions.
