—When tho shades of night had fallen,
(overlng all tho earth around.
Softly creeping oamo the follows -
For tho elder they bad found.
Softly creeping, skulking, dodging,
Came tho boys in grand array,
Cider barrel on a stretcher
Did they steal and put away.
Then the boys with pitchers bandy
Came to got their sharo of Juice,
Annie, Grub-struck and John Andy
Fut tlioir suction pumps to use.
Only look, ye unbelievers,
Gaze upon tho fourth floor hull,
If tho older pools you notice
You will liavo no doubts at all.
Pink and Deacon, we are told
Did not leave their room
But when tho elder came around
They left it with a boom.
Pinky is a temperance man-
Strong drink he will not touch.
Older lias no charms for him,
And champagne— oll l not muoh
Thanks to goodness, there Is no one
Who Is taken sick or 111:
But tho value of the older
Vt 111 be In the damage bill.
