Polite PrevaricatOrS
Chicago Record-Herald.)


When you hear politician say he
longs to quit the strife
And is laundering for nothing more
than peaceful private life,
Do not waste moment signing,
He is just politely lying.
And your sympathy would only make
him sore,
If he isn't reelected
He will sit around detected
Till he gets a chance to wriggle il
once more.
When you hear a rich man saying thai
his money is a care,
That he'd rather be a pauper than {
multi-millionaire,
Don't believe what he is stating,
He is just preyaricating
And does not deserve the pity ht
demands.
You would see him darkly scowlins
And could hear him sadly bowling
If he had to earn his living with his
hands.
When you hear a wealthy mother sa!
she does not wish her girl
To be welded to a worthless little
duke or foolish earl,
Do not foolishly believe her
Or imagine it would grieve her
If her darling should at once go title
mad.
To deliver her fair daughter
To some ass across the water
Is the dearest plan that she has eve
had.

A Lesson in Thrift.

A lesson in thrift is found in the
adVices given by Congressman John

city for whom he had secured a
minor appointment in the Capitol at
Washington. Meeting the young fell
low in the Capitol, he placed hand
on his shoulder and remarked:
William, you are just beginning
your life. Let me give you a bit of
sound advice; When you leave your
boarding house in the morning never
take more than 30 cents in your pock-
cts, enough perhaps, for your lun-
cheon, and for earfare. You will then
not be tempted to spend more than
you can afford"
