HURRAH FOR TIE MAN WHO
PAYS

There are men Of brains who count their gains
BY the million dollars or more;
They buy and sell, and really DO wen
On the money of the poor.
They manage to get quite deep In oeo'
By various crooked ways:
And so we say that the man today
is the honest man who pays.
When in town he never sneaks down
Some alley or back-way street,;
With head erect he will never dehect,
But boldly each man meet.
He counts the cost before he Is lost
In debts mysterious maze.
And he never buys in a manner unwises
But calls for his bill, and pays
There's a certain afr of debonair
In the man who buys for cash;
He is not afraid of being betrayed
BY a jack-leg shyster's dash.
What he says to you he will certainly DO,
III it's cash or thirty days;
And when he goes out the clerks VIII shout
Hurrah for the man who pays!

The Postoffice department estimated that $1OO,- GOO would be required in order that the car riers might have the holiday granted by the biIl but only $50, 900 was appropriated, and the carriers will probably have to be content ed with seven days leave of absence until further provision is made.
