townsmen whose taste is only equalled by his enthu-

In this category he appeared to have been classed
Assuring the committee that he was not poet Ell
ther funny or philosophical it had been insisted on
that he should compose something "odd," and as
''drol as might be. 1t was only in the feature of
oddity that he could hope his composition would at

Irishman gives description of the contents of that
