was out of his head, too. 
K. Is that so? 
N. Yes, he used to be scared to go 
home nights; ’fraid his hens were layin’ 
for him. 
K. Well, were they? 
N. Well, I don’t know what the 
record is today, but up to yesterday he 
got his ninth egg. 
D. Say, George Haskell is a mighty 
handy man round this building. 
K. Yes, George is a good man for 
this job. 
D. Yes, he saves the town lots of 
money on little jobs around the building. 
He tunes the piano now. 
K. Are you sure about that? 
D. Oh, yes! I saw him tuning it 
the other day with a monkey wrench and 
a screw driver. 
K. Well, I thought it must be tuned 
that way judging from the tune of it. 
Here are a few verses from the Topi- 
cal Song: 
Fred Merrill likes these shows for fair, 
It’s the only time he has any hair, 
Now the flies can’t stand on his head and dance a 
jig; 
Cause the bald spot is covered with a big coon 
wig. 
Callahan has gone to Egypt to see the Sphinx, 
Its the greatest thing in the world he thinks, 
And now you can hear Mr. Choate Rust cry 
The lid is on and the town is dry. 
Oue night while rehearsing for this show, 
A boy named Billy Hoare—you know 
Stepped up to Wilcox and he said, 
I can’t be a coon cause my hair is red. 
Bert Hinchliffe runs a butcher store 
With alot of sawdust on the floor; 
In the summer Fred Martin hangs the meat on 
the hooks, 
In the winter time he keeps the books. 
Loomis had a fire not long ago 
‘The department had a chance its skill to show, 
The chemical did its duty no doubt 
Jim Hoare hollered (toot! toot!) ‘all out.’” 
Ed Stanley built a motor boat 
He said she’s the fastest thing afloat, 
You should see the water churn 
When Dr. Tyler’s in the stern 
Following are two verses from the 
Club Song. words by H. S. Tappan and 
music by D. L. Wade. 
But in the list of members 
There are some I quite forgot, 
The singers must be looked to 
For they’re Johnnies on the spot, 
There’s Hinchliffe like a nightingale 
And Rand and Peabody 
And Swett, the only man in town 
Can reach that low down C. 
Well that’s the club, yes that’s the club 
The club that’s got the goods, 
The club that made all other clubs 
Go way back to the woods. 
Now every night they sing with glee 
Most of them way off the key, 
So we'll go down, down, way down. 
Down to the club. 
One Tuesday afternoon last week, 
George Woodbury almost died, 
The building seemed to all cave in 
And shook from side to side, 
He heard a noise while at his work 
‘That almost made him swoon, 
It was the rustle of a skirt, 
On ‘‘ Ladies’ Afternoon ”’

There is no chance to spoon, 
On Tuesday’s now the ladies treat, 
On Friday nights the members eat, 
So we’ll go down, down, way down 
Down to the club. 
A parody on Mr. Hinchliffe’s solo ran 
somewhat as follows: 
When I was on the police force 
I hada cali-one day 
To catch a regular burglar man, 
In a house not far away; 
The man who looks out for the place 
Then whispered low to me: 
**He’s hidingin that closet there, 
** Open the door and see.”’ 
But I said,—‘*‘ No, No, No, Ohno!’’ 
** Positively No!’’ 
When ‘‘I say No, No, No, Oh no!”’ 
Then I means that word for sho; 
The burglar in that closet, son, 
May have a double-barrel gun, 
So No, No, No, Oh no, 
Imphatically No! 
The program was as follows:
