The Pennies in the Boy.

fMr. Hugo Schonberq. Of Wilton. wis
has had the following verses printed az
cards ,,rds, and presented 70 his patrons.)
I'm lncie Sans most favored pet,
I'm hearty and I'm hale;
I've nothing in the world ID do
But glide round with the mail;
But one thing almost breaks my heart.
And my nervous system shocks.
4 the everlasting pennies
That I'm fishing from the box.
! carry stamps and envelopes,
And postal cards and such:
And ! would like to sell few.
Iwould please me very much;
But man cant sell unless YOU buy.
No matter how he talks
So ] have to keep on diving
After the pennies in the box.
It's all right in the springtime,
Or when summer brcezes blow;
But a different proposition
When it's thirty-two below
When all your fingers and your toes
Are frozen hard as rocks,
Its almost anything but funny
Scratching pennies from the box.
And now. quite confdentially.
I'll tell you something more
A rural carrier way ont West
Forgot himself and swore;
Says he, - can stand the snow drifts,
] can stand the frozen locks.
But blast the measly pennies
In the blasted measly box"
When the rol Is called up yonder,
And we all shall gather there,
They wouldn't let mail man in
If they knew he'd learned 10 swear
II YOU want st. Peter to pen the gate,
When your rural carrier knocks
Buy stamps and don't be guilty
OF putting pennies in the box.
