referred gracefully to the newspaper
men from Boston as "vipers," although
he had previously invited their honest

Now listen to Mr.. Hathaway, who finds
music in all things, yes, even in THE
clank of the engine and the rattle of the
press:
The poor editor in his attic corner writing,
While the busy world around is hushed
and still,
Burning the midnight lamp of toll.
And coming his brain into merchantable
That the impatient devil seizes with inl1y
hand
And sets to form, to beseattered by morn
Like autumn's leaves in october winds,
And borne to thousand expectant readers
The richest relish of'their morning meal.

There will be numerous specialties
which cannot fail to delight the spec
tators. There will be fancy dances,
group dances and drills. One of the
cleverest and most deliciously absurd
of the specialties will be the African
minuet, given by six of the Lakeside
men. 1t is a burlesque on the court
minuet given here in the Parada
Another speciality that is bound to be
well received is "Chappies and Sou
brettes." 1t was originally given in the
Worcester Light Infantry Ministries
several years ago, and it will be re-
produced this year with all the SPLEEN
dor of the original production. Frank

talk on musical stories and jokes, with

make UP the club year.
Miss Morse spoke extemporaneously.
She began by saying that when De
Pachmann played the andante in the
Chopin concerto at the festival her eyes
were full of tears, yet she could not
tell what made her weep. Perhaps il
was as Elizabeth in her German gar
den said--"It lie so pleasant to feel sad
when you don't know what you are sad
over" Associations, said Miss Morse
count for much in the emotions that
music gives us and they also are a
