LAMPY IN ERROR.

TO THE EDOTORS OF THE CRIMSON: -

WE are sorry to see that poor Lampy has fallen into such a sad plight that when he attempts to quote a good joke or saying, he misses the point.

In his last number he has attempted to quote the saying of one of our Western Senators, who when asked why he took two cocktails in the morning, replied, "The first makes a new man of me, and then I feel bound to treat that man." Now there is some wit in that, but Lampy has twisted it into. "The first makes me feel like a new man, and then of course the new man wants a cocktail"; but there is no new man there, he only feels like one.

It seems a pity when Lampy has got hold of a good thing, he can't make the best of it, even if it is not original.
