More than this, near ,ly every issue of the Star advises the ladies of Whitehorse of what a miser- able existence be Is leading in the absence of his wife, and the larder is stacked up with pies and jellies that spring from sympathies thus awak- ened.

spective district and worthy of
this high honor.

DOING

DOING
There used to be a golden rule they
taught us 1t was true:
do unto others as you have those
others do to you"
Perhaps it was, but in this day we say 1t
diff rently:
DO others or they will do you" is the
version now we see.
do Others" And we practice 1t on
every hand and side;
We look out for ourselves and all others
we deride;
DO othersr And we do them by our
methods manifold,
And tricks and schemes not even dreamed
by moralists of old.
The mother does her baby with a bottle
for its meal
How can you blame the baby dear If
it puts up squeal?
The father does his growing sons when
on them his old clothes
He palms off stead of new ones, and
adds to his offspring's woes.
The youngster does his brother when he
cribs his lessons through;
The young man does his sweetheart
when he pledges to be true;
The maiden does her lover when she pads
and paints and fakes
Is it any wonder, therefore, that mar
riages are mistakes?
The husband does his wifey when he
works" while at the club
And wife dear does her hubby when
she takes him for dub
With other women and grows slouchy in
her own attire.
They are both doing each other in
a fashion dire!
The farmer does the city chap with board
and lodging cheap.
Then feeding him on ancient eggs and
things not fit to eat;
The city man the farmer does when he
comes into town:
BY showing him the bogus sights, he
does him pretty brown
The bull or bear the lambkin does-he
a shears him pretty tight
The lambkin turns at other times and
does him like a fright.
The packer does us with his timed and
canvased meats so poor;
We do the packer when we spring 'in-
spection" on the boor!
The milkman does us with the water in
his lacteal dose;
The tailor does us when he sells us
shoddy for wool clothes;
The barber does us as he chins us by
the mile:
The preacher does us with talk whose
logic makes us smile.
The Pullman porter does us when he
springs his little brush
The cabby does us gayly as he hustles
through the crush;
The chauffeur does us when he speeds and
roughly runs us down;
The undertaken does us last-and he
does us up brown!
