The only effort at rhyming Funston

4 The Kansas sonston,
Saw how twas donestuE-
i And then twas wonston,
HOoray for Funston.
4 Somebody writes: just little dol
lar, on it's mission sent, makes q lot
of people glad each time the coin is
spent. You pay it to the butcher for
meat to give you strength, he takes it
to the grocer from whom it goes at
length, some pretty bit Of lace Or cloth
his better half to buy, or helps to get
her winter hat to make her rival sigh.
The dry goods man sends on the coin
to pay his market bill and though the
coin is often spent, it stays dollar
still and every time it's spent at home
some act of good is done in ''boom-
ing: local Industries ere setting of
the sun. But if you take the shining
coin and break the local chain, tile
chances are that from afar twill not
return again. II once it passes out
of town, the butcher and the baker,
the grocer and the dry goods man. the
cook, the undertaken, the carpenter,
the carriage wright, tile blacksmith,
every one, will lose the chance to
touch that coin ERE setting Of the sun.
just keep the little coin at home, just
keep it moving we'll and every time ii
changes hands somebody's goods
twill sell. That single dolla.' has
thus wonderful power to make some
body better dozen times an hour. 1t
