Enthusiast Still Enthusiastic
 Editor News: Dear Sir, things are closing in on that Camp-Ross Bridge celebration. There is nothing wanting now but some music composed especially for the occasion and am going to com pose it and straightway become immor- talized in the halls of Fame. Don't you think march called the Bridge Carni- val" would sound quite euphonious as to name and of course, if I compose it, the music will sound still more euphon- iouser. (please tell the fat man how to pronounce that word and " hat 1t means,) and if anyone asks you if you composed the march tell'em yes. A lot of people think you are writing these Enthusiast skits anyhow. and you might as well die that way as any. We'll, we the under signed are nothing if we are not musical or we are musical if we are not nothing Oh where are we? Help What is the use of getting so mixed up over a little thing like music for the Bridge of size? Nothing is easier than composing music. tion music paper and spread it out, then fasten it so it can't kick, and then dip a medicine dropper in 8 pot of ink and start in on the score, dropping ink here and there in 8 way that will look ex- ceedingly difficult to play to a novice, but it will be only bluff. For the bass and big drum, shall dip my fingers in the ink and just sprinkle the big notes on in any old way. Marks of expression are obtained by simply trailing feather dipped in ink in wavy line over some notes and leaving other notes untrailed. Now for Heavens sake MT.

Oh we'll we can fix that; put the two yards of cheese cloth over the head and then tie it at the neck with store string, the extra length will hang ill graceful svelte folds over the shoulders. The head may somewhat re- seInb,e ! bas ball mitt, the nose taking the place of the thumb, but that's noth- ing : a man must remember that his facial expression is. as rule, too bold and needs softening and I know of noth- ing that will make @ man look softer than a face drapery of cheese cloth with one eyeIet in it. bet dollar that P D. will get it owlet-Now is there any thing else MT. Editor? Why sure We must have roof garden and a lot of chorus girls, all under sixty and unmar- ried. Of course we must have refined vaudeville. No coarse New York stuff Somebody will be generous and lend a roof for the occasion. The vacation house roof is flat and would lend itself beautifully for the purpose. Nobody would miss it for just one night. Please beg the Wurra Wurra members to leave their hats at home that night, Fancy a top hat or bowler underneath a veil of cheese cloth There is no need of any one making himself ridiculous. White glace kid gloves. 16 button length, would look we'll however, as they are univers- ally becoming to mans rounded arm, especially the fat mans.
 I can think of nothing more now MT Editor except to ask you not to mind that people think you are nae, or me are you, my grammar was always good.) It is not your fault or mine that there may be family resemblance through Adam. Of course you deplore the inn piled effeminacy of your style and am shocked to death to be faneied so mascu- line. Alack-a-day
