Among those who came in with the police
At about this time was no less a person than
young Mr.. Stuffy Davis himself. end after
vho reserves had gone back to the station
hc defended with no little ability his posi-
ion with reference to the proper sort Of
checrfor this younga and promising academy.

Davis's. The third and fourth are Mr..
Brian's. The initial line Of tho second
quatrain is To he credited 10 MIR. Davis,
az IL also the following line. This is fol-
lowed by n line in which the traces OF Mr..
Brian's genius are clearly tn be noted,

'Rah! Rah, Rah!"-is our StuRy's, it is
entirely appropriate that the pFroration-

from the gifted pen OF Mr.. Brian
