University of Chicago - The Daily Maroon

THIS LEAD IS WORTH FIVE CENTS
ONE NICKLE
THE TWENTIETH PART OF A DOLLAR.


After being a spectator to the amazing antics of ye Blind Tiger and his cohorts in and about the vicinity of ye Maroon office we are now convinced that his mother drowned the wrong one!

THE DISCONSOLATE BLUEBIRD
(A tale of the Phoenix)

Well, the little blue covered wolumn is out.

That covers the subject.

Good story by a gent who seemed to have been in the "late unpleasantness." We liked it until we found that he had been in the Royal Army Medical Corps. There used to be a beeoootiful song about them, something about mechanics. An' tha Editor says that he "fought" in the War. Oh Well -- undergraduate seniors will be undergraduate editors else where for born or somethin'

The jokes don't compare to those found in this column daily )Adv. Whadda we care for misrepresented facts?)

I suppose the Phoenix must be published but it seems n' awful waste of time when the Whistle (Adv.) is running.

Which reminds me that the booful blonde lady at the desk said the best way to get to the third floor of Cobb Hall was to get a Phoenix salesman on your trail. THEN RUN.


EVOLUTION

The silver fish and the simian
Were brothers once, and even man,
By some coincidental tract,
Was country cousin to the whale,
Moved his ears and had a tail.

Now this is the thing that troubles me--
If this is my philology,
What does the poor amoeba do?
There are no strings to tie him to.

Something from something, I infer,
Is evolutionary rule.
His mama and his papa were
An atom and a molecule.
