THE CATHODE RAY.

There's another new invention
Which these scientific crimps
Discovered, just TO help along
Old Satan and his imps;
IL is worse than all the others
They have brought out in our day,
And the name Of this new demon
Is
cathode
ray.
With this new-fangled lightning
They can look man right through,
And see what he is thinking,
Tell you what he wants TO do,
Count the money in his pocket;
Then with laughter they will bray
When they only find a nickel
With
cathode
Just suppose you have dollar,
And you start out for feed;
But you meet that bill collector
Who is wont with you to plead;
You have stood him on so often
That you think twill Be but play;
But the fellow finds that dollar
With
cathode
From the streets the gossips watch you
When your house is in a vhiri,
And your wife through three partitions
Sees you kiss the hired girl
She in anger chides you for it,
Then you get gun and pray
For a shot at the inventor
OF
cathode
ray.
