CONCERNING APRIL FOOLS.

me trickSters who on April First trap Us
with taunts or tools,
Reversing with their talents bright all
ordinary rules.
With bricks In hats and grim toy rats. de-
vices to deceive,
Until poor victims tempted are this queer
old world to leave.
Are not the only ones to watch. to deity
flank or fear,
Zass what becomes Of folks who fool. or
are fools. all the year?
The man who will not spend cent on
books to make him think,
The man who wastes his substance on a
betting book and drink;
The one who pulls hot chestnuts from some
politicians fire.
Or one who by his chronic growls awakes
distressful ire:
The dude who minus brains or Drawn dis
plays but clack and clothes.
The doleful Ounce who treats us free to
lists of walls and woes
The alleged funny man who simply re-
tails frappish tales,
The jerky. fussy, mussy folks more wear
ing far than snails,
And then their opposites who are so poky,
dull and slow,
That just to watch their witless ways fills
half the world with woe;
The fashionable Christians who wear slain
birds in their hats,
And pretty girls who kisses waste on lap
dogs. ours and cats.
The man who nothing knows, and he who
always knows 1t all,
The babe who turns a sermon to a new
kids fancy bawl
The scandalmonger with her barbed and
poison-pointed tongue,
The talking invalid who dwells upon his
single lung;
The sleek church-goer who pretends to
love his fellow man,
But lives by canning all he gets and get
ting all he can.
The man whose mark of manhood Is the
gilded dollar-mark.
The sower of wild oats who goes on many
midnight lark.
The patriot who serves his land by office
grabbing wiles,
And those who hide hellish heart in hol-
low vanished smiles:
The parents who proclaim their BARNS the
finest ever born,
And all who say this world is but wilder
ness forlorn.
The greedy ones who want the earth and
several planets more.
The blusterers who prance and pirate and
tire US with their roar.
The pomous ones who asses ears peep
from the lions skin,
The sulky ones who In all joys would like
to stick pin;
The wise and we'll Ger April fools to shed
kindly tear.
But how about the chronics who are fools
throughout the year?
