CALL HALT ON POETIC GENIUS
LOCAL OFFICIALS WARN GAR
BAGE AND ASH MEN.
Collectors Must Cease Soliciting Pay
or Donations Through Cards
Bearing Verse.

Poetic genius has been discovered in the
ranks of the garbage and ash collectors OF
the District.
But the busineSS-like Commissioner OIL
the District who has supervision of the
street cleaning department, Henry u.
West and the unappreciative head of the
street cleaning department, James Al.
Wood have frowned on the development
of such talents on ash and garbage wagon
seats and ordered that such efforts must
cease.
But many residents of the city have had
an opportunity to have their poetic senses
touched-to say nothing of their financial
senses-by the products of the fertile
brains that can make rhymes in cloud
OF ash dust And 1t must be admitted
that as poets the ash men have been a
great success. for their productions have
yielded them neat financial returns.
From the Garbage Men.
Following is from the poet laureate of
the garbage men:
Times are hard and Christmas is near;
The poor Garbage Man is around all the year;
Money is scarce and Turkeys are fat.
So please drop something i'll the Garbage Nan
hat.
Another of the same appealing charac-
ter is:
At Christmas play and have good cheer.
For Christmas comes but year;
y quarter and the Lord Will bless you.
The productions of the ash man are in
no way inferior to those of the garbage
bard as witness:
All through the winter rain. hail and snow
The City Ash Man to his route must go;
Christmas is near New Year is at hand
So please remember the City Ash Man
Or this:
Rain, hail or blow.
The City Ash Man must go.
Christmas is here. New Year is at hand
Please remember the City Ash Man.
