ARTHUR S. HENNING.
I'm a consumer in a bad humor.
These outlaws rob me so;
For they make me pay in sad, sad
way,
I've a plaintive tale of woe,
I've plaintive tale of woe.
| And never they care if the world goes
They laugh when they hear me
| sigh:
I'm Il victim panned by inc outld"
! band
Whenever ] go to buy.
For you are the wicked outlaws, you
| see,
You're stingers OF all mankind;
And none shall escape who can
manage to scrape
A dollar that you can find.
To the air of Brown October Ale
a soloist sang the song of the boot
logger. Here it is:
I"And it's will We quaff with me, my
| lads.
And it's will ye quaff with me?
1t is a draught of ginger ale
| l offer unto thee.
All sparkling in the bottle, lads.
1t has no sting at morn:
O. it's friend to every one,
| 'Tis good old Peprercorn.
So quar-, lads. and laugh, lads,
This joke can never fail:
If they but think we nothing drink
But good old ginger ale.
But would yc quaff with me. my lads,
But would ye quaff with me.
a stronger drink than ginger ale?
| I'll whisper unto thee
Away back on my hip. my lads.
| i have pint for you.
O. I'm a friend to every one
! Who likes his mountain dew.
So quaT. lads. and laugh. lads.
! And when we liquefy,
Our ginger ale We will not fail
To mix with good old rye"
Maid Mary Ann" to the air "Oh.
Promise Me" rebuked the outlaw for
| breaking their promises, and she did
il so well that the hardened bunch
all tearfully promised repentance and
a better life, this. as the prologue had
announced. producing finale much
more conventional than probable"
A song to President Harding, set
to the air of ''Suwanee River" with
! reference TO his coming visit to
Florida, ran this way:
Soon you'll be strolling on the
Down Palm Beach way
Far from intrigue and Senate
! speeches.
Far from the donkey's bray.
When you are playing golf or fish
Or sailing DER the foam.
We know that you will not be wish
! ing.
For the politicians back home;
Well not put this as query,
| But We'll like to bet.
You'll be happy and a lot more CHEEKY
Far from the Cab-i-net."
The Gridiron Club has but one
toast "The President of the United
States" and at the conclusion of the
song the company arose to pledge it.
The chair then recognized President
Harding to make a felicitous speech,
which, true to- the traditions or the
club. is never reported.
