Answer to a Communication.
A student whose throat and lips have long been dry and who has long suffered a consuming thirst for the spirits that make for conviviality has written The Kansan a letter. He wants to know where he can find some of the liquid refreshment that flowed so freely one short year ago and he wishes to verify the report that Lawrence is soon to be wet again. He signs himself "Temperance."
In answer to "Temp" we must state that we do not know where he could find any of the liquid sunshine in Lawrence at present. He might however disguise himself as a policeman or better still as the editor of the Gazette and get some samples of the beverages that cheer, but that is about the only way. We can not tell whether the bottoms will open up soon or not.
Among other funny things "Temp" said he wished to give his exuberant spirits free play in the poetic past time but could not find a suitable inspiration. For "Temp's" kind approval we submit the following:
Not the night-caps that were taken when nobody went to bed;
ward is as solemn as is death;
For it bears no pugent hop-smell
on its odorific breath;
And the breeze from over East-
And each man can walk a chalk line when the stars are in the sky,
For the beer glass now is beerless and the town, it still is dry.
Lay the jest about "Milwakee"
'neath the chestnut tree at last.
heath the chestnut tree at dusk For there is no beer in Lawrence and the olden days are past;
of the water wagon rumbles through the "Bottoms" on its trip,
And no student now can drop off to pick up the driver's whip; For the glasses now are dusty and
For the glasses now are dusty and the corkscrew hangeth high
Gloom has settled on the Bottoms and the town, it still is dry.
Ask your friend why he goes to Lee's.
