PITY THE POOR S. X.
There's Khaki in the street, now,
And khaki in the air,
Our minds are filled with khaki,
And it fills our hearts for fair.
When the S. R. asks the coIm's friends,
For items, news, and such,
The answers sure to be just this,
Il really don't know much.'
So there's nothing else to do,
But stand and thrill and cheer,
While the khaki lads are passing,
| And thank God that they are here.
