To one side Mundy's lions were ranged, restlessly pacing their cages and soaring the more timid laborers to the other side of the road. A little further the 1gorrotes were helping to build their village their queer appearance attracting great deal of at tention Roaming about were the cow boys in Buckskin Ben's Wild West.

CONFISCATION.

If the grocer charges you
Quite bit for just a few,
Tell him without hesitation
That it's really confiscation.
When the butcher man would take
All your dough for just steak,
Use then no tergiversation-
Tell him that It's confiscation.
When the landlord for the rent
Takes from you your final cent,
Crush him with your condemnation
Saying that it's confiscation.
When you're buying coal or ice.
And the trusts put up the price
Till it's out of all relation
To the goods, cry "Confiscation!
Maybe if you make bluff
AS some others, strong enough,
With regard to legal style
You can stand 'em off awhile.
