CARMEN. 



Cano carmen sixpence, a corbis plena 

 rye, 



Multas aves atras percoctas in a pie; 



Uhi pie apertus turn can it avium grex; 



Nonne suavis cibus hoc locari ante 

 rex ? 



Fuissat rex in parlor, multo de num- 

 mo tumens; 



Regina in culina, bread and mel con- 

 sum ens; 



Ancilla was in horto, dependens out 



her clothes. 

 Quum venit parva carnix demorsa 

 est her nose. 

 Mater Anser's Melodies. 



shrine 



For dear Robbie and his kicking 

 cow. 



But oh the heartaches! Oh the back- 

 aches! 



Shooting pains in every pore! 

 Oh the blisters that the sun makes, 



As it rakes me o'er and o'er! 



Out upon those old bucolics! 



Out upon the classic vine! 

 Naught I swear, but alcholics 



E'er inspired the muses nine! 

 Oh to end this fraud of living! 



I can! I will! Oh wretched sinner! 

 I'll drown myself and end all grieving 



In the windmill tank, — after dinner, 

 C/ia?/es L. Williams. 



GRAPE PICKING. 



Could you see me now, Professor, 

 Bending as before a shrine, 



Gouging with a frantic bluster 

 At this tangled mass of vine, 



All the time "a makin' mashes" 

 Of my only suit of clothes, 



In my fingers cutting gashes, 

 Burning blisters on my nose. 



You, perhaps, would scarce 

 member, 

 How once you taught that earthly 

 joys 

 Alone were found in classic labor, 



Plucking grapes like Virgil's boys 

 For, truly, Virgil owned a grapevine, 



Horace boasts a rusty plow, 

 And warm with love our fond hearts 



re- 



At the beach during the wild years 

 long gone, 

 There grew no tree on mesa or 

 lawn 

 'Till they founded and built the S. D. 

 College, 

 And planted the umbrageous tree 



of knowledge. 



Though some men dazzle like the 

 moon, 

 It is not best to make a guide of 

 them, 

 For, like the moon you may find 

 soon, 

 You've only seen one side of them. 



Tid-Bits. 



Every good Mussulman must Mec- 

 ca pilgrimage.
