WHAT isl NIan2

Man born of woman is small cab
bage and few in a hill. In infancy
he is full of collie, paregorio and
catnip, and in old age he is full of
GROSS words and rheumatism. In
his youth his maternal ancestor
taketh him across her knee and ex-
tends to him all the sympathy in
her nature with the heel end of her
slipper, and when he is man
grown he dodgeth the tax collector
and the sheriff the rest of his life.
He spreadeth like camphor tree,
and getteth a political job, and his
friends cling to him like sandspur
to your pants legs. He swelleth
with vanity and cutteth frozen
water for time, but is melted like
wax in fire at the next conven-
ton and cast in the ash barrel
where his name is Dennis. Out
of office his friends forget to cling
to him like vine around rotten
stump, and he soon .goeth busted
which maketh him lie down in the
COW pasture, where the redbugs get
in his hair and beneath his under
clothing. He dieth out of the
world and goeth to a place too
warm to wear clothes. Verify the
last end of that man is worse than
the beginning and the band play
