THEY NEVER CHANGE.


The moon an the women is jest the same
Sence oil Bill Shakspeare's times.
The moon as round and the girls as
strange
As when Bill wrote his rhymes.
Eve read in the whole eniurin' lot
OF stuff by men of fame
I've read 'em allan | tell you what,
The girls is jest the same.
There was Byron, Dryden. an Alex
Pope.
An honest Thomas Moore,
They sang of girls. an of blasted hope.
An by the moon they swore.
The girls are the same as Bobby Burns
Sang in sad refrain
The more man studies 'em. less he learns,
For sech research is in vain.
The moon an the women they make no
change,
AS poets sing to-day:
The moons as round, an the girls as
strange.
An that's the mournful lay.
The moon goes on. jest as calm an
bright,
As round the world she whirls-
They swear by the moon in the dreary
night,
An swear about the girls.

nounced that the national championship
tournament of the Amateur Fencers
league of America would be held April 20
and Is in New York, IL was decided to
hold the New England preliminaries
April IL at the Boston Athletic club.
There have been few entries. however,
and now II Is very doubtful whether there
will be any preliminary round before the
men representing the New England divi-
sion go to New York. Only two men,
James r. Parker and Sewall Cabot, both
from the Il. A. A. have entered so far.
Both are well known Boston fencers and
are the best there Each also has entered
in previous national tournaments, and
they are the strongest team that can be
sent out from Boston.
There is much more interest taken by
the younger fencers In the coming New
England championships which will be held
at Association hall April IL, the entries
for which close on April IL. There will be
