"GET THERE"

There Is a great deal Of truth in The
following lines from wall Street
Bulls and Bears"
Graft. and the world CRAFTS with you;
Toll. and you toll alone;
For the rich OF the earth must gel
their worth
While others pay the toll with a
groan.
Bow, and the "magRates" praise you;
"Kick"-and anarchist you are;
For the supple knee the rich love to
see,
But frown on justices war.
Get cash, and men will laul you;
Fail, and they turn the head:
If You can buy folly, with yon they're
jolly;
But do not ask them for bread.
Buy wine, and sycOphants ilatter;
Buy beer, and you're cheap skate;
With music and light, they'll stay up
all night,
Otherwise, you're alone with your
plate.
Dance, and the crowd applauds you;
Limp, and you're in the way;
An automobile wiz give yoM the field ;
Walk, You can go-where you may,
There Is room for the man who "gets
there"
No matter what road be runs:
But he who balks at getting what
talks"
Is the chap the whole worll shuns.
