event of the season in South Dakota

arranged concert programs daily

design, anything ever attempted in
this line.

engaged for the entertainment of
the large crowds which will visit
Mitchell during corn palace week.

ments than ever before have been
made for special excursion trains to
accommodate the large crowds who

The Eager Philanthropist.

The man who wants to make you rich,
Who over some high colored scheme
Gets worked up to the highest pitch
Lest you should fail to skim the cream,
Nay not be spreading such a net
AS spiders small but skillful weave,
But still it's pretty safe TO bet
That he has something up his sleeve
The ground floor spacious seems to him
The place that you should occupy;
From there up to higher limb
You'll shortly spread your wings and
ny.
He offers you a strangle hold
But IL you'll look again, alas,
You'll see the brick of shining gold
Is only made of common brass!
Perhaps he knows about mine
That very shortly must produce
In fact, prospect pretty fine
Admitted by the most obtuse
The stock is but a cent or two:
He gives you as a friendly bunch
That 1t will soar clear out of view,
And he can let you have bunch.
The man who wants to make you rich
Is thinking nothing of himself,
But notice If his palms don't itch
To get little of your pelf
He wants to see you get along
And pull million from the air,
But later he will come in strong
For several times the lions share.
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1906-08-16
