Tzv0 Fables in Slang
The Fable of the
Copper and the
UndergradS

One Night three Well-Bred
Young Men, who were entertained
at the Best Houses wherever they
went, started out to Wreck a Col
lege town.
They licked two Taxi Drivers,
set fire to an Awing, pulled down
many signs, and sent brick
through the Front Window of
Tailor Shop. All the Residents Of
the Town went into their Houses
and locked the Doors; Terror
brooded over the Community.
A Copper heard the Racket, and
saw Women and Children fleeing
to- places of Safety, so he gripped
his Club and ran Ponderously,
overtaking the three Well-Bred
Young Men in a dark part of the
street, where they were Engaged
in tearing down a Fence.
He could not see them Distinctly,
and he made the Mistake of as
suming that they were Drunken
Ruffians from the Iron Foundry.
SO he spoke harshly, and told them
to leave Off breaking the Mans
fence. His Tone and Manner irri-
tated the University Men, who
were not accustomed to Rudeness
from Menials.
One Student, who wore a
Sweater, and whose people butt
into the Society Column with Sick
ening Regularity, started to Tackle
Low; he had pompadour hair and
. Thick Neck, and his strong Spe-
eiality was to swing on Policemen
and Taxi drivers.
After this, his Companion, whose
Great Grandmother had been one
of the eight thousand Close Rela-
tives Of John Randolph, asked him
not to Kill the Policeman. He said
the Fellow had made a Mistake;
that was all; they were not Boil
sheviki; they were Nice Boys, in
tent on preserving the Traditions
of dear Old Alma Mater.
The Copper could hardly believe
it until they led him to a Street
Lamp, and showed him their En-
graved Cards and Junior Society
Badges; then he Realized that they
were All Right. The third Well
Bred Young Man. whose Male
Parent pot his Coin by selling for

From stalwart youth to wrinkled sage,
From infancy to feeble age.
You get just what you give.
At times you get much more. II seems.
At times much less you may believe;
At times Dame Fortune on you seams,
At times your troubles come in teams,
But you always give what you receive.
You think the earth is merely here,
To cater to your whim or notion. .s
You're wrong; pauper, king or peer.
Your recompense, IL cheap or dear,
Is always in exact proportion
why kick against the pricks of Fate7
why on bad luck your spleen you vent
Your own misfortunes you create,
And whether soon or whether late.
You're bound to get your right per cent

And never fear because II
