GREATER AND LESSER.

The star must have the limelight
In showing forth her part
To keep her in good nature
And stimulate her art.
The lesser luminaries
Must do with none at all.
They can't have finer feelings.
Their wages are too small.
The star must have her dresses
From Paris tailor made
That she her charms In settings
That ft them may parade.
The modest little maiden
With Just a minor part
May fashion her own garments.
Who cares II they are smart?
And yet the little sister
Who only reads a line
And who supports so meekiy
The one who is divine
May have as great a liking
For fancy togs and glare
And all the gaudy hxings
The actor ladies wear.
The great and mighty actress.
The pet Of circumstance.
She isn't any better.
She only has a chance.
And yet she takes the Iimelight
As though IL was her due.
And others take the leavings.
She sees that they are few.

I'm just a simple minded man.
/ cannot understand
A lot OF very curious things
That happen IN this land.
For instance. when they pass a law
That never should be broken
No one can tell you what Il means
Until a Judge has spoken.
Why can't they say just what they mean
And mean just what they say
And make It plain to any one
In quite a common way
Instead OF making Il. in fact,
A mixed and wordy tumble,
A tangle over which a man
Will founder. trip or tumble7
II takes a lot OF legal light,
or reasons deep and Wide.
When for the breaking OF the law
A millionaire is tried.
But when simple. common man
Gets IN a legal tussle
The frowning Judge says. Thirty days.
And never moves a muscle.
1 say I cannot understand.
And yet I sort OF do.
The situation clears a bit
To one who looks Il through.
To one from Mars II all might seem
A triae strained or funny.

The man who takes his punishment

We may as well all stand from un-

There really isn't any use in a mans

Don't make the mistake OF thinking

is, Why do some people act that way
In the changing tides OF time the
fellow that was against you may be

Most modern languages are interest

A well trained memory is one that
