And If your ventures float,
But all the While his busy mind
Is centered on your vote. q
A very deep and grave concern
He has for your affairs,
If you have troubles. lean on him.
They also are his cares.
Don't carry them 10 the police,
But II you are oppressed
Step up and pour them out upon
His sympathetic vest.
Your wrongs. whatever they may be,
He'll right with his good fist,
Provided always that your name
Is on the polling list.
II in distress don't hesitate
At once on him 10 cal,
And as for pay. don't mention It,
He'll see you IN tie fan
The politician truly is
A pleasant man 10 meet.

A greeting warm and sweet.
And that is how he earns his bread
And how his cash is made
When he is being kind you know,
He's working at his trade.

Catching the Train

When the family knows two wea1,s

they will have to catch. they make q
great variety of splendid resolutions 70

thing packed and ready the night be-
fore so that in the morning thew will
only have to shove in their tooth
brushes and combs and lock the eriDs
that they may proceed coOlly and lei
surely to the train.
DO they do it?

Is woman also?

There is more business for them to do
at the last moment than congress
could do in an extra session. If they
}could just work at their business with
the feverish energy Of the last half
hour, they could retire with large
fortune in about a month. And then
they forget half the things they had
intended to take.

ated by the return of the surveyor

moment a settler goes upon the land

view to proceedings thereon, may be
permitted, prior to further action in
