The feature Of the literary exercises was
a 'poemma, written and read by John
B. Cook. Mr.. Cook has written burles-
que poetry before, but this is his best
funny production. The effect of laugh
ter is produced by the ingenious play on
words rather than their logic. The title
of this ''poemma" was 'Oh my All
myl" The metre was on a sliding scale
something like this:
Joyfully laughs the pleasant onion
AS he treats the lima bean.
and
Carefully steps the thousand logger
On the friendly roach's track.
The best hit of the "poemma" went
something like this:
And dogs with note so deep remote
Will go and vote,
For Tariff high
Oh myl All myl
William g. Pauley recited "The Monk"
in polished and eloquent manner. The
piano trio by Misses Whann, Kersey and
Dillin was of difficult score. The vocal
quartette by young men was well sung
and received due applause. Miss Wells

ton Of emphasis. The date of the next
