■ THE BATTALION q,********* ******* * * * DERE RUMMITT * * * Aggieland, Oct. 21, 1924. Pere Rummit: All is wrong again. The Gods have convened again and speaking in the most profound military sense they have chucked me on the “bull-ring.” To explain more vividly: I am dis pleased with the geographical situa tion of the village which I honor by being from. Why Tom I asked a fish the other day if he had never heard of my town and he replied that he surely had but didn’t know that I was from the Zu Zu Islands. And of course that was the banana peel on the threshold of my happiness. But really there must be some con solation in the aspect of things and I have calmned myself by deciding the town is not the cream because I’m not there to do the churning. Of course if I lived in a bustling young metropolis like San Benito, or Se- guin, or even Bryan I would never register the current gripe. I got a message from hum to-day and they said a mule died in the postoffice three weeks ago and they didn’t find him ’till yesterday. Now I’ll have to ad mit tha tpretty dull and you know that ain’t right Tom. But I have heard of places wehere they thought typewriter salesman were piano tun ers. That might be construed as worse—I dunno. The situation might be explained too by the fact that a portion of the natives are a little tight sometimes. Actually Tom, some of them are so close that when they pass the collec tion box at church the Deacon puts in a pants button and takes out two shirt buttons in change. That’s not my fault either tho, Tom. But it has been called the city of a thousand wonders for this reesun: There’s a train whut runs through one day and tries to come back thrue the next and a thousand people pass through the place and wonder where it is. Mebbe it is out of my role to praise my town negatively but indivr- dool—you know that’s me all over. PLEASE DON’T ASK ME THE NAME OF THE PLACE THO, be cause the slightest reminder of it only causes weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Sounding off, LES. Say ARMY, Didja ever buy Yer girl a swell Box of Whitman’s CHOCOLATES? And in a few days Yer would get that Perfumed Special Maybe thanking you, And maybe forgettin To—but, anyways If you felt as proud As CORPORAL ABERCROMBIE Or as sorry as Umps’ Quigley; And you began to roam Around and maybe talk To yourself a little— And finally yer would Go in and get a Swell cup of Hot 'Chocolate And a nice Pimento-Cheese Sandwich at CASEYS’ CONFEC’— Then, bet you wouldn’t Want to be any place Else but. WOULD YOU ? —Advertisement. * * * SAY BO, DIDJ’A! * * * *$+ 'tj*’ Say Bo! Did’ja ever Find Chapel interesting enough To keep you AWAKE Just because From the balcony heights Your wandering gaze Fell down upon AN EARTHLY ANGEL And happened to catch The twinkle Of a sky-blue EYE Momentarily tilted upward ’Neath a pert, black hat From which Tantalizing feathers Waved above A trim, slim dress Soothingly gray With joyously cheerful Belt and buttons Whose cherry-bright redness Was dimmed by the glow Of rose-petal cheeks And round, RIPE LIPS Occasionaly revealing Flashes of TEETH Whiter than the pearls Enhancing a SCULPTURESQUE NECK At every movement of which Your heart beat with joy Hoping to see again THAT SPARKLING EYE? And finally Were you suffused With happiness When she manipulated The mirror of her vanity So as to see you therein AND THEN As you saw her reflection Ah then Did you find That she was LAUGHING AT YOU? Say bo, did’ja?
