"Good Fel = ^ lowship" is my text. ^ Our first toast goes to Jenkins, the "Pop" ^ if of our family, = Who discovered a hundred point picture; = |^ he has my sympathy. M J. C. 'pears mighty gen'rous, and no doubt l s friendly and kind, ^ So I'll overlook his shortcomings, when he's |i ^ narrow along certain lines. ^ Next comes our friend from Idaho. His ! . tllr is Philip Rand; = The poetry he hands us is certainly real ^ = grand. = But somehow I just wonder, what would £ m the "Herald" do. = If all the contribs wrote like that; there'd Ik' a constant "stew." The third man of our party is goodly Mr. § = Sprague. |p = Reports to this department are worth wh : 1 — never vague. Hf He knows whereof he speaketh, and plays i r d on the square; ^ My mitt goes out to this man, because }\c' s always there. W Our circle has been growing, we started | ^ out with four, '. 'id r-_y we number thirty. Lord knows how ^ = many more = Will enter in this Frolic. It's gcod dope, ? o be sure. And brings us close together; for gloom it | is the cure. My toast is nearly ended; I lay no claim to f crown, M But want to spring an idea before you vet'' me down. li Why can't we start a circle, just like the I O. A.— ^ E. H. to be our by-laws: come new, what j§s do you say ? §§ Twrs just a funny notion that started this ^ II essay, if |e But now that we are in it, come on, let's | "Make It Pay." The more I think it over, the more I like L the plan, ^ And if I strike a heart chord, you'll join me to a man. | In a subsequent edition, my project you | will see. | Let's start the ball a'rolling; who's going | to follow me ? ^ So here's to all good fellows, wherever th t y may be: ^ A bright and happy New Year, is the part I ing wish from me.
