Tho following poem was re
ceived from Bhuw-B e r t r a m
camp this week:
Well things are rather speedy here,
. when things aro running fair,
Tho boys suro hit the ball and
don't accin to care.
Pete and Frank the hookers hardly
touch thu ground.
Thcy'ro Jumping everywhere In
mighty leaps and bounds.
llughslo runs tha lovers aud ho puts
her rtfl't In high,
Tho cut skinner ft. fds more gas, a-nd
fairly soom to fly.
Tho bunchors gulp tholr breakfast
of eggs, spuds, and bots.
And to the woods, ono grabs an axe
anil starts to bounce the knots.
Tbo skinner they call Duscy looks at
him and atarU to grin.
And says "fly- nt her boy for I'm
going to drag them In,
Cause wo'ro going to make her pay
today, If tho riggln'U hold out.
The swampers niuko the brush Just
fly, for the bunchors aro right on
tholr tall.
And they wako'er pay when they
cau, for they've got to have tbo
kulo.
