A Ditty for the Times.
By OSCAR H. HARPEL.

There is one among the many,
Can you tell me- where he staysf
He's an odd, old.fashioned party,
Called the honest man who pays:
Yes-the honest man who pays
Every dollar he may owe,
Keeping up the good old ways
That so many scarcely know.
If he gives his word of promise,
'Tis bond as good as gold;
If he holds post of honor,
Not trust is ever sold
By the honest man, who pays
Every debt he may incur,
Yielding each just award,
And no grudging or demur.
And Pm told this rare old party
Lives within his income, won
By the fairest, sq,iarest dealing
We see beneath the sun.
And the honest man who pays
Always holds it good and right,
For the rich to help the needy
When times are tough and tight.
