The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1897-10-23

Like his naught can atone,
They do him an injustice grave.
And am much surprised
That talent such Uncle Jim's
Have not been recognized.

To idle and be gay.
But none of them can ever hope
His brilliancy to dim;
There's no one else knows how TO loaf
As we'll as Uncle Jim.
