BOnnY WisCOnse.

Would you hear of Land: of Land that is
fair
AS your brightest conception or 'castle in air.;
Would you hear of country country that's
blest
With beauty of finish, in harmony drest
In the greenest of green's in the fair summer
time
In the whitest of whites in Winters cool elm e.;
Where foliage trees like Kaleidoscope gleam-
ing
Fills Autumn's soft days with bright colors
streaming;
Where Springtime is nursed by the bountiful
rain;
Where hazy May days sprout the succulent
grain;
Where the velvety bluegrass in carpet so soft
Cleans on the fresh lawn and the bees look
aloft
TO the trees in their bud, and wonder how soon
They will gather the sweets from their blossom
and bloom;
Where the buttercups spring from the sods on
the knobs
And smile to the violets' new-budding souls.
Where soft Summertime, when warm winds
are signing
TO flowers, in their bowers, it's whisperings
dying
Into soft sleepy lulls brings notes of the thrush
From his garland green home in the heather
and brush;
Brings robins love song from top of tall tree;
Brings bluejay's sharp chatter of what he can
see;
Brings sweet scent of bloom from fields in the
haying,
And tells us the dews with the clovers are
staying.
Where Autumn days come with foliage so
fair
In it's yellow-red- browns, beyond all compare
In it's picture of colors, so artistically lost
In wealth of confusion by artist Jack Frost,
Who works in the night with his magical
brushes
And tints with profusion each leaf that he
touches;
Where hlackbirds in carol go holding conven-
lions
And roundelay forth all their happy inten-
tions.
Where Wintertime comes, with ringle and
jingle;
With sleighbells and mittens; with fingers
atingle;
With blankets and robes all tucked away tight
In cutters red, yellow and all colors bright;
To the dance, to the party, to the wedding to
go
On the wings of the winds over white silvery
snow;
Where the pleasures are many; supplied all the
wants.
In your bonny old bonne: "Old Benny Wis
couSe."

Rowing.

People ask why Charles Courtney. the
famous Cornell rowing coach, scores sue
cesses so consistently with hts crews az
Poughkeepsie. II is not a very difficult
question to answer. but ! think that a
recent incident at Cornell will throw
some light on the subject without very
much additional comment on this being
needed. Weed stroke OF the freshmen
crew OF two years ago and naturally
good varsity timber. was a member OF the
Cornell Masque, an Undergraduate drss
matte association, that had scheduled per.
formanees Of their annual play at Roches-
ter and Auburn. Courtney had already
started work with his oarsmen, and when
asked If Weed could cave Ithaca with
the dramatic organization most emphatic
ally said no, and that Weed must more
over, cut out all theatricaIs and eonfne
himself TO rowing. Courtney does not
want his proteges leaving Ithaca at this
time, even for a day, and doesn't care to
have them divide attention between the
atricals and aquaties Weed. needless to
state. gave up his role as an actor.
Whether Courtney or any of the other
big rowing coaches ever advocate includ-
Ing octupie races in the Poughkeepse re
