PAS IN POLITICS.

With money in the house to burn.
Were livin now in scrumptuous style.

They amt none OF us got no kicks
Since pa got into politics
When he was poor an had to work
To make livin like a Turk
He used to say this ole world were
A vain delusion an a snare!

To feed an dress us. but you bet

An hasn't sense nun in his brains
To chase him indoors when it rains.
He used to be that way, but tux
A tumble, an the best of luck
Falls his way like a thousand bricks
Since he went into politics
He's wearin clothes that's mighty ripe
An smokes seegars stead OF his pipe
An gifts shaved at the BARRIERS where
They squirt rumsquiRtum on his hair.
He talks about combines an rings
An fusion an some other things
An says he's on to all their tricks
Since he got into politics.

To help the corporations fight

Whilst he climbs up the tree an picks

Two COuplets.

Irving was leaving the White House re-
Gently the veteran doorlSeeper of the pres

many years ago. Under it the genial
Chilly" Florence had placed his own
name and the couplet;
feel myself so undeserving
To write my name meath Henry Irving.
That was neatly done, but then Flor
ence had way Of doing neatly what
ever he attempted. Bill Nye once gave
friend of mine his photograph, and over
his autograph, at the bottom of it, he
wrote, Il send you this to prove that in
my opinion there is nothing too good for
you"
The poet Young's couplet, which is re-
called by Florence's has never been sur
passed as a specimen Of the fine art of
compliment. Borrowing Stanhope Lord
Chesterheld's pencil, he wrote:
