Cortez Potts, Dressed up fine, For he intended that evening, With his girl to dine. He put on his serge, And his whitest stock. And in a box of bon-bons. He soaked his last rock. He’d gotten a close shave, And a haircut, too. And between the close cut His ivory done showed through. He met the fair maid, And they began to talk; As they promenaded The Military Walk. The brainless “fish” band Was out that day, And up the Military Walk They began to play. Now a bunch of fish, They never fail, A chance to carry a soph Out in a gale. And when the band saw Cortez, Out with the Miss, They just couldn’t fail On a chance like this. So they ganged around the couple. Both left and right. And the discords they made Were an awful fright. Potts turned white Then changed red, And the color quickly rose Even to his close shaved head. To say he was rattled, Is putting it mild, Poor Cortez Was simply wild. And as the crowd around Began to laugh, Cortez was as lost As a frightened calf. What the fish got Later that day, I will not at present Stop to say.

He spoke to her quite harshly. “Why don’t you dress before you start?” he said. “I’d just as soon see you put on your stockings in the carriage as your gloves.” “Yes, she answered, simply,” most men would.” BEFORE BREAKFAST. Say, Colonel Cape, did you find Dr. Ball the other day £ when you went in to his office at the first door to the right on the third floor? * Hi ❖ When Captain Edwards received his unofficial promotion, he had at least one sympathizer—one of our beautiful stenographers who lends so much glorious local color to these drab surroundings sat on the steps of old glory and shed bitter teers of grief and indignation at the atrocious act. * * * There is no rose without a thorn, eh, Crippen ? ❖ ❖ Hi The Chemistry Department is get ting up to date; they have installed a still.

The coon made it a point to be late, day in, and day out. One day, however, he was there first, and Charlie, wantnig to show his appreciation, delivered himself thus: “You’re early here, of late, you used to be behind, before, and now you’re first, at last!” AT THE OTHER SCHOOLS. University of Virginia.—Owing to the fact that the Harvard track team has two men that have negro blood, the U. of V. has cancelled the pro posed meet with this team. The U. S. Naval Academy has also cancelled their meet with Harvard for the same reason. There are so many - South erners on each of these teams that embarrassment would surely result. —College Topics. L. S. U.—Earl Ewen, a freshman at the University of Louisiana State, has been appointed captain of the machine gun company. This is the first freshman to ever hold this rank. Ewen is an engineering student, and was a captain in this branch of the service during the World War.— Reveille.

Baylor-Belton.—The custom of the college seniors of wearing the Ox ford caps and gowns to chapel and such other occasions has been reviv ed.

It is put out by the Junior class.—Burleson Burr. (We congrat ulate Burleson. From the running start they have taken, we predict a great future for this publication. SCANDALOUS! T’was a dark and dreary night. (Tragedies always await such a time.) How did Furneaux that Steele stole silently into the room and kiss ed his lady Love? Awakening from his Knapp he Wendt in a run across the hall to the scene of action, just in time to hear the fair damsel say “Dewitt don’t you and Albrecht ever shave? How dare you scratch my face with those awful whiskers.” The Key to the scandalous affair still remains with Wooley, who is Eh- lert to the situation and wont divulge the secret but seems to Foster it in his own mind. But Hale! Little Boykin tell you all about it. The secret at last— “If she won’t let a potato masher how can a lemon squeezer”? I ' ■ 4* V * ^ I The A. & M. Wildcat for | King of Beasts!
