HAUNTED.

A statesman spread banquet once,
The caterer, an arrant Ounce
Put cocktails in the bill.
And now. where'er that statesman goes
or II he works. or seeks repose,
Those cocktails haunt him still.
Friends told him this insidious dr. nix
Would lure his guests TO ruins brink.
That II was Satan's swill
Twas then that they began to haunt ,
IN now nc pale and worn and gaunt,
And cocktails haunt him STILL
lie sought to square himself by speech,
The water wagon gave screech
That caused his nerves TO thrill;
In vain he sought a distant state.
For there, tbs grievous to relate,
Those cocktails haunt him still
He saw girl fall from her boat;
lie waded out-t0o tall to float
And saved her from the spill:
But sadly smiled at all acclaim;
Alas, what's bravery, what's fame.
When cocktails haunt him still?
