THE BA TTALION:
16
The ‘‘Texas” and “Maine” were sisters, you know,
So we have an extra reason to go;
We are anxious to tight, we are willing to die,
When we march into Cuba we’ll strike without a sigh.
Our parents at home will know when we die,
That our bodies in a patriot’s grave will lie.
But still you all know from what cause it came—
From the blowing.-up of the battleship “Maine.”
The Kiss.
You may send your sweetheart presents
Through the mail, if you desire;
Can transmit a loving message
By the telegraphic wire;
You may pen a sweet proposal,
Get an answer most sublime;
But a kiss not done in person
Is a failure every time.—Ex.
Visiting Girl (coming out of the church): “Oh my! what
queer hitching posts. Where do they get them?”
College Girl; “Why, those are not hitching posts; it’s
just the college boys waiting to see the college girls pass.” Ex.
Upon the new gateway at the entrance to the Cornell cam
pus will be placed this inscription: “To enter, that daily thou
mayest become more learned and thoughtful; to depart, that
daily thou mayest become more useful to thy country and to
mankind. ”—Ex.

The Puritan maid
With manner staid,
The bloomer girl
With a pretty curl,
Spins the wheel.
Also spins a wheel.
—Ex.
