POEMS OF THE DAY.
Briggs at the Country Hotel.


@ Algernon Briggs who has been on the road
Since last May, Is fully aware
That social distinctions al stacked in one load
For his fratl young shoulders 70 bear
This worries him some, you can see by his brow
Where breakings begun before fan.
By that grim old specter that handles the pIoW
And burrows the foreheads OF ALI
G. AlgernOn' s line is imported cigars.
As one would infer from the sven
And the boisterous fuss he makes in the bus
When Briggs strikes the country hotel
The porter is "chony; he calls the clerk Joe,
Says: How are they comm nov. lin -
While rolling his name on the register 50
That even the b0arders know him.
'fYoull give me the bridal room. chr joey, dear
And Cnolly, sou take up my case
And say. Cholly, bring me a bottle Of beer
From ola Bully Wilmington place"
At supper it's sadie, 70 bring me steak
Or ''get me an egg won't you, NeIT'
Or "a lemon please. Blanche" for he's running
the ranch
is Briggs at the country hotel
At dinner the guests read the BIN Of fare
through
Save Briggs who says softly to Dot:
just bring me my dinner, now Dotue, won't
And Briggs gets the best Of the lot.
He's free with his money and runs a great bluff:
oh we'll, III charge this 10 the house."
But when he's in town, he's quiet enough,
And funds it back as meek as a mouse.
For there the gay Algernon sleeps in a fat
And feeds at chop-house as well
Though he isn't deuce high when at home, he
can fly
When he stops at the country hotel
II were an artist and wanted the face
OF Caesar returning to Rome,
Or OF Alexander in search Of place
UncOnquered on all the earth's dome;
Or were l a sculptor and anxious 10 mold
Proud Cato with naughty lip curled
Or hew out figure OF Atlas OF old,
Who reeled meath the weight OF a world
I'd not copy from Unconventional forms
That all antiquarians SELL
For the whole classic lot, I'd take snap shot
At Briggs in the country hotel.

may be carried out in drollery, grotesque

ously enjoyable time is positively assured

tive characters. The price of admission
has discreetly been made reasonable,
including refreshments.
