We lately caught on to the JOYFUL
news that the Camels are coming to
Wheeling In May, about the close Of the
meeting of the Grand COmmandery OF

splendid trip, we give them our serious
private opinion about it in verse;
Our Thing-a-bob has got new spring,
Our Rig-a-ma-jig has been oiled,
Our what-do-you-call-it is bran new
thing,
And our Helter-skelter has been boil
