Buttermakers' Quartet.
One feature which promises to amuse
the gathering will be the newly or
ganized Minnesota Buttermakers' quar-
tet. They are booked to sing Thurs
day evening, but undoubtedly will be
called for at every session. This
quartet has the distinction of singing
its own songs, written and composed
by it's own members, hence something
new and original may be looked for.
Following is a specimen of their
work in the song writing art. The
words to this inspiring ballad were COM
posed by French & Newgaard and will
be sung by the quartet to the tune of
my Wife's Gone to the Country"
The writer can personally vouch for
the merit of this song, for, while rae
ing to the depot at Milwaukee, he
was captured by Minnesota bunch
who were intoxicated by the joy of
having Cleaned the board" at the ma
tional convention and they were kind
enough to sing the above song for our
special benefit.
This is what they sang:
Hoo-ray for Minnesota!
Hoo-ray for Minnesota, Hoo-ray, Hoo
ray;
We made the finest butter, and took
the prize away.
Otisco and old Winthrop, Hoo-ray, Hoo
ray,
They won the prize, we're happy
guys
Hoo-ray, Hoo-ray.
0, Anderson's dandy, Hoo-ray, Hoo
ray,
And Moe came in right handy, and
took the silver set away.
We got the mon the hummer, Hoo-ray,
Hooray,
We made them guess, we'll I guess
yes,
Hoo-ray, Hoo-ray.
We're sorry for the Badgers, Hoo-ray,
Hooray;
We knew he always had yer, and
Go home a feeling gay,
Six golden spangled banners, Hoo-ray,
Hoo7ray,
They always pay Minnie sofa,
Hoo-ray, Hoo-ray.
