“O’er rolling deep, where wild winds
sweep, where tempest kings hold sway,
From lands of snow, where north winds
blow, we smite our living way,
Qur booty dying nations, our guerdon
people’s tears,
War lords in fight by right of might,
ihe modern buccaneers.
“Rich spoils of East call to the feast,
old China’s dying, too;
Like vikings bold in days of old we'll
loot the yellow crew;
Shall grasping German eagle,
covetous Muscovite
Bag all the game, ye Saxons? Shame!
Lord Jingo, ’tis not right.
“One truth we teach, one creed we
preach, the sacred right of pelf:
Let the under wight i’ the sorry fight
get up and save himself;
Our gospel flaming cannon,
screaming shrapnel crammed,
Our creed is short—the world our sport,
the weaker blokes be damned!”

YALE OBITUARIES.
JOHN SESSIONS, EX-'47.
John Sessions, ex-’47, died at his
home, 179 Congress street, Brooklyn,
on Wednesday, February Ist.
Mr. Sessions was born at Skaneateles,
N. Y., on October 26, 1820, and pre-
pared for Yale at the Cortland Acad-
emy, Homer, N. Y. At the close of
Freshman year he was forced to leave
College owing to ill-health. Mr. Ses-
sions studied law in the office of Wil-
liam H. Sewards at Auburn, N. Y., and
was admitted to the bar in 1843. After
practicing eleven years in Syracuse, he
came to Brooklyn, N. Y., where he has
since beén © a
A son, A. L. Sessions, and three daugh-
ters survive him. The funeral was pri-
vate from his residence on Saturday.
FREDERICK BEECHER PERKINS, EX-’50.
Frederick Beecher Perkins, ex-’5o,
died in Morristown, N. J., of paralysis,
from which he has suffered greatly for
some years.
successiul practitioner.
Mr. Perkins was born in Hartford,
Conn., on Sept. 27, 1828. He entered
the Class of Fifty at Yale, but after two
years left College and began the study
of law. Three years later he was ad-
mitted to the Connecticut bar, but did
not practice. In 1854 he graduated
from the Connectuct Normal School,
and for a few years afterwards lived in
New York City. During his life he
was connected in an editorial capacity
with many papers and magazines and
wrote a number of books. Among his
writings are: “Scrobe, or the Lost
Library’; “My Three Conversations
with Miss Chester”; “Devil Puzzler,
and Other Stories”; and ‘Charles
Dickens: His Life and Works.”
Mr. Perkins is survived by two child-
ren, a_ son, Thomas, and a daughter,
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson.
In an editorial review of Mr. Perkins’
life the Hartford Courant says: “Mr.
Perkins deserves to have his name en-
rolled among the famous Hartford wits.
Those who survive him and were his
comrades in the early days of literary
ambition in Hartford, remember not
only his great promise but the qualities
which made him one of the most inter-
esting characters in the city. His mind
was not only exceedingly well stored
with erudition of all sorts, but was full
of nimble spirit, full of invention, and
with a true sense of humor that makes
the other qualities so valuable. His
sayings used to be greatly quoted, and
there were innumerable anecdotes al-
ways current illustrating his quickness
of repartee and sometimes his eccentri-
city. He used to say that he had great
sympathy with autograph collectors
and did not like to disappoint them, so
when he was left in charge of the corre-
spondence of Henry Ward Beecher, in
the latter’s absence in Europe, he faith-
fully took his place and answered all
the applications for autographs with the
signature, ‘Henry Ward Beecher, per
F. B. P.’ As we recall the memory of
this scholar, this bright spirit, this man
whose genius was distracted by work
that a mere plodder might have accom-
plished as well, we cannot but regret
that circumstances did not compel him
to confine his effort to one pursuit
among the many in which he might
have excelled. What little he left in
literature is of so good quality that we
regret he did not leave more, but for
that and for a certain personal and intel-
lectual charm his friends hold him in
affectionate remembrance.”
ALEXANDER COYLE MCKISSACK, 752.
Alexander Coyle McKissack, one
of the most esteemed citizens of Mar-
shall Co., Mississippi, died at the resi-
dence of his sister near Memphis, Tenn.,
Sept. 27, 1898, aged 67 years.
He was born in Rexboro, Person Co.,
N. C., April 20, 1831. He was prepared
for College at Monmouth and Gardiner,
Me., and entered as a resident at Spring
Hill, Tenn. He studied law at home a
year after graduation, and was for a
short time engaged in cotton and wool
manufacturing at Pulaski, Tenn. In
1855 he removed to a_ plantation
which he purchased, a few miles from
Holly Springs, Marshall Co., Miss.,
and was for several years a cotton
planter. In 1861-62 he was color-
bearer of the ist Mississippi Regiment
in the Confederate service, and then for
