ours who has faith in our ability to

meet the eye of her obdurate father
it may soften his stony heart and
make him loosen up. We hope it
does.

TO YE MELTING PoT.


TO lE MELTING POT.
Oh. Melting Pot.
Nou help a lot
On this old world o. sorrow,
Your flashing Wit
And joking bit
Make us forget the morrow.
Oh. Melting Pot
You seem half shot
ON some days when We see you,
But with your gaff
on make Us lam
And that's just why We read you.
So Melting Pot.
You're not a blot.
ON The News-Times' escutcheon,
Without a blink
You make me think
OF matters which you touch on.
FRESHMAN.
WE never return from a vacation
without regretting that we took it.
Not that we enjoyed the relaxation
less, but that we hate to resume work
more. Like the faded horse turned
into the pasture lot, which with its
last remaining bit of energy kicks up
its heels, metaphOrically waving its
hands in a final farewell to tail. and
lies down and rolls over to remove the
last vestige of servitude, so we, when
we go on a vacation, forget that we
ever did work or that we will ever
have to work again. The disillusion-
ment comes hard.
THE situation in Europe reminds
us Of Gen. Mcclellan and his "All
quiet on the Potomac. 1t is SO
noisy.
