A steady man am I, b. gosh. who works
when works Z do,
But when tn sun is settin' red an all tn
chores is through,
You'll find me with the "Nettie Dere"
noatin on tn blue
A can Of worms upon tn stern a settin'
side o. me.
A crooked pole atween my legs. a bobber
Then life is wuth tn livin' an I'm livin'
It, b. gee
do not keer fer gold er fame, I do not
kecr fer love:
I'm gist as happy sittin' here as any tur-
tie dove,
With ripples ieckin' at my feet an gray
in skies above.
do not even keer fer bites, although of
course they's sum;
amt afear o. drouth ner bugs ner any
halls thet cum
I'm gist content n sittin' here an gittin'
nearer Hum.
why. Lord. they's cumfurt here SO thick
it makes a feller dose
An tip his pipe agin' his hat an burn 'er
there she goes'
other kind O. clothes
Why. darn II, they amt nothin counts
when sunset finds me here,
With all tn world song o peace an
sweet content an cheer.
A fshin' with crooked pole frum off
tn "Nettie Dere"!
You fellers who is worn and whipped a
chasin' fame an gold.
Yew drop tn irons frum yer wrists whore
hearts is born an sold
An git a ticket down t here where
worrys bust her mold!
Gist climb aboard tn ''Nettie Dere'' an
plumb fergit tn rest
Then life is wuth tn livin' and you're liv-
in on tn crest
With sorrers lost behind tn sun settin'
in tn west!

Nothing is too difficult to try when

Medicine How 1t has been cursed
by takers and prostituted by the dis

Happy is the man who has decent
business, who pursues it decently and
who lives honestly on the profit that
1t brings.
What we need at this day and age
is more of the pride of workmanship
and less of the desire to turn out
something quickly and sell 1t for big
profit.
Syrus says men should not live one
way in private and another in public
And still, it is better for the young
that many do not live their private life
publicly, as the Irishman would say.

Love was the first law maker and
he ordered a perpetual season ol
fondling. This lasted until dinner
time of the first day when the cooks
chased Love from the kitchen and
broke the law. From this came the

And he hadn't lost a cent!

I'll bet he'd be broke--or bent!

by what he doesn't say.
