MESSAGE TO THE
THIRD HOUSE
IT PROVED TO BE ONE OF THE
FEATURES OF THE SESSION OF
MONDAY NIGHT, WHICH WAS
LARGELY ATTENDED.
Nv J. u. Reese.


Tallahassee, May 16.---The message
of Gov. AID. Wolgast Gtllyhead, to the
third house. which was presented and
read at the meeting of Monday night,
proved to be one of the interesting and
enjoyable features of the evening. 1t
was as follows:
Gentlemen of the Third House:
For you 1 see no ray of hope,
And pass you out this line of dope
The constitutions on the bum,
The coming men have not yet come;
The state of the conditions bad;
Conditions of the state are sad;
State and conditions both are mixed;
And somehow nothing won't stay fixed.
The populations still increased
In spite of all the dead deceased.
The Primary System.
The little cole we love to feed
Pri Mary, seems to be in need;
1t may be hookworm, but who knows :?
Unless It's DIR. Diagnose.
Her system, I'm informed. is chock
With many kinds of poppycock;
I've paid the doctors. bill for once,
And trust you'll find another Ounce,
To ride this young but wincing jade
With spur and saddle ready made.
TechnicaIities of the Law.
This thing Due Process of the Law
Provokes in me a loud guffaw!
Forsooth, show me billy goat
Does he not seize 1t where he can
And hold it on his very man?
Do idle technicalities
Subdue his whimsicalities.
Or does Due Process get his goat
Or touch the whiskers on his throat?
Sure, If they did, by Caesars ghost,
He'd butt his head against post!
The Criminal Glasses.
/ much desire you to observe
The convicts in the states reserve
The counsellors and wigs at law
Are plentiful and like to jaw;
This class is worse than all the rest,
And the Pardon Board has done its
best
Not one of these bad case hardened
Criminal lawyers has been pardoned.
Failure of Memory.
The House should seek some remedy
For bad and falling memory;
The messengers afflicted quite
With this, and also loss of sight;
He's like judge not far from here,
Who called a brindle COW a steer;
Mnemonics if e'er of the arts
Has lost clean out in these ere parts:
But If we cannot cure the Judge,
Well feed him buttermilk and fudge,
And change the law on cow and
steer
And make 1t beer to make 1t clear.
Dress Reform.
have lone Tuxedo coat
That came down from some age
remote;
It does the very best it can
To make of me a manful man;
I've worn it long. though it is short,
In times of sorrow and of sport;
And though the maidens laugh and
scoff,
I'm going to wear the damned thing
off;
All, then, perhaps, you will not fail
To buy for me a swallow-tail.
A law suppressing hobble skirts
Is needed for the lady flirts,
So stunning have they all become
The Johnnies have been stricken dumb
And now stand gaping in row,
Where once the girls had each beau.
Woman's Suffrage.
Remember, please, and don't forget
The lank and lonesome suffragette.
Convict Lease System.
In taking up the convict lease,
Remember Mary Ellen Lease
I'm not informed what kin they be,
But surely it's not hard to see
That while the one is Mary Ellen
The others bound about with Helen.
Take this my message with you now,
I'll trust you'll have merry row.
AD- WOLGAST GILLYHEAD,
Governor.
