"MR. BARr rON."<br />

His father's pride, his mother's joy,<br />

A veritable Fauntleroy,<br />

With cupid lips and silken curls,<br />

Beloved of all the little girls;<br />

But all alike he treats with scorn,<br />

His heart doth not his sleeve adorn,<br />

His mind's afar in Pippin's reign,<br />

Or 'mongst the hosts of Charlemange.<br />

"MR. ZEEK."<br />

Aye, even in his infancy<br />

A charming cavalier was he,<br />

And when the baby girls passed by<br />

He had his nursie fix his tie;<br />

And ere he learned to lisp his name,<br />

Could murmur sweetly, "Je vous aime."<br />

In him we find the reason true<br />

Why girls leave home for S. M. U.<br />

"MR. REEDY."<br />

Upon his first birthday, to our little Frank<br />

His preacher presented a little tin bank,<br />

And ever thereafter, while other boys spent<br />

Their pennies for candy, he hoarded each cent.<br />

When asked why he saved, he was wont to reply,<br />

"I'm getting the habit, for by-and-by-<br />

You may not believe, but I know it is true-­<br />

I'm going to be Bursar of S. M. U.<br />

-GOLDIE CAPERS .<br />

• WITti CUPID LIPS<br />

AND SilKEN CURLS,<br />

BELOVED Of .ALL<br />
