and there were responses by Mr.. Nc

by Mr.. Hugo l.. Loos. who discussed
Fine Cigars" by Mr.. Mcclure, who,
among other things, perpetrated this bit
of verse:
Here's to America, the land of the push
Where a bird in the hands worth two in
And here's 10 Ireland, that down-trodden
land.

But we won't print the rest of 1t. It's
too good.
John Weisberger discoursed eloquent

clubs, J. F. Emig gave very enter

the following poem:
our Annual Spread.
AS it always has been the custom, while
smoking our cigars.
To have our toasts. crack our jokes and
sing our little bars,
So at this sumptuous spread as hereto
fore,
The festal poet shall also sing his lore.
Our good host, Myers as we all know,
Is happy only when he can show
His friends with tons to eat and drink.
How much of them he loves to think.
Now knowing this to be the case,
Each once should hold his proper place,
And reaching roand from left to right,
Store all these good things out of sight.
SO jump right in and do your best,
For now you eat, tonight you rest
Surely now you'll not say nay, .
For Myers has the stuff to pay.

To eat and drink with the German Pho

To us it S a pleasure with him to sup,
And we all fall in at the command, Lime

quite right.
And all will agree, who are here tonight,
That it certainly is remarkably queer
Why none of his many Widows are here.
Perhaps it's because he has a selfish
Bump,
For you know we have in our presence
to-day
Other widowers. who are equally risky
and gay
We don't understand why man with so
many,
Who hasn't the nerve to hook up with
Should object to bring a few of them
along,
And give us chance to sing them our
song.

We have men with US, although they have
grey hairs,
Would be willing to manage their lonely
affairs.
So Myers wake up. and make your re-
port,
That others may also to the widows pay
court.
When the DECISIONS gone forth, the wild
ows will then
Love Myers still, but hunt other men.
They know very well that one man can
Care for them all and love the whole lot;
So give the poor girls chance for their

And hope the command will be given ere

To celebrate our hosts coming wedding
day.
Remarks were also made during the
evening by Messrs. Fred Colmar, DR.. C.
F. Ulrich, Theodore Roller and others.

other success and was entitled to most
cordial congratulations.
