OF bald headed mon, whose duty shall be
sit. investigate and then report
this House, on matters OF great import.
Respecting the conduct OF members herein,
who have wandered away in the paths OF sin.
A member from Bitter Creek, so they say,
Being asked by the Club House boys one day,
To make them q visit, his wife being away.
Went up there one evening, to see that den
or nobby, esthetical cattle men;
Those wretched fellows who belong to q tribe
OF bachelor wights, no pen can describe;
By the way, I've a Bill which ought to carry.
Compelling all those fellows to marry,
Before the ession is over, and then
Wen make them into respectable meni
To reach the Club house there is a good Lane
And when you get there you rave to remain,
And the chances are, will drink some cham
payne,
And smoke and chat with friends and kin,
For so II happened to the member herein,
In addition to that, there were oysters and
game,
The game, Ike our members, both tOfld and
tame.
He ate and DRANK, this member OF ours,
TIL q give you my word) his digestive
powers
Were about used up-and, so 1t is said,
lhty bOoA Nun aWhy hhu put hlh W DCut
And there. in the witching hour OF night.
They laid him down 90 utterly quite.
And when they put him IN his little bed
They listened there to what the poor man
said.
In his low mutterings and delirious dream,
And one OF them took notes; l think twas
mean;
But thus we have the record; his wild words,
Omens and visions uttered, like dark birds
Fitted and danced before his misty brain.
RaIslng his fist. with all his might and main
He struck the headboard, ''Order in the
Houser'
Each listened to his words, still as n mouse,
He said, "Ill whip the wretch who smokes
in here"
Then jumped right up TO make make his
meaning clear,
"Show me the man II he is here to see,
That would suspend the House rule forty
three"
No one responded. and he shouted, Call the
Roll
For any absentee the requiem shall toll,
And may the Lord have mercy on his SOUL"
Then. going on, said, 'by the eternal hills,
Now legislative nends. bring on your BIllsl"
The attendants, slightly scared, look ed on to
SEQ
What next might be the poor mans vagary.
"Ha ha ~ said he, "there's railroad trouble
now.
House BIZ thirteen Is hopping of his brow,
And now he has stripped his coat; the lusty
fellow,
VIII make Rome howl, and many a men,
Der below.
Give him more room, 1 like a lively tustle,
The Railroad boys must now brace up and
wrestle;

dish,
Filled TO the brim with several kinds OF Ash;
SweetwRter clans, Wyoming eels, horned
trout,
Green River turtles, Rumsey shad; no doubt
Pete Downs is coming with a hearty shout
Blowing his horn and crying Fish, fresh
fish =
Nebraska crabs, and horned toads II ycu
wlsh,"
Ye Godsl our Victim now did kick and Jerk,
And cut up capersl like a very Turk!
His Wild eyes looked on vacancy, until
He shrieked There comes the MiscegenatIon
Bill.
finland me, villains let me deal one blow,
To lay that musty, ancient statute low"
With that he Jumped and went clean out OF
bed
And just missed punching Harry on the
head,
Who lodged. and in his way, so free and
light,
Said, Boy, you can't make game of me to
night"
The member looked. and cried with voice
more shrIll,
Are you the author OF the Donkey BIllr'
Quoth Harry, Friend, II does not matter
much,
I'll let you know It's all the same In Dutch"
Just then friend Briggs came in to get his
rest,
Took in the FUN with very earnest zest,
And asked each member to pull down his
vest"
Then an Internal machine he did display.
And made the fire fly In a frightful way.
This scared our victim, and he now did roar,
And saw mad visions as he had before.
Thought Mrs. Packard had HIM by the hair.
And so he crossed himself and made a prayer
And asked to be forgiven, in his fright,
he would fghtfor woman and the right.
Thus passed the scene. the boys were getting
weak.
In watching many strange aud cranky freak.
Once he cried out and said in sudde fear,
message from the honorable council here,
l move we sit down on it, then and there
Twould move your heart with pity, 1 de-
clare,
To see him place his hands upon his brow,
And gently sob, to hide his grief / trow,
Tears rolling down his cheeks, for 10 he
pitled
The council. for the sins they had committed.
Once starting up, he quickly said,
what is that noise lust overhead?
l smell the blood OF n working mani
Go. bring him In, quick as YOU can,
