THE WATCHDOG.

The statesman wears a look most
wisej
I'VE must" he cries, economical"
He placidly admits a few
Appropriations should go through
For sums that seem amazing great
To benefit his own dear State.
But when his millions he has gained
He wears a look exceeding panied
That some hard working clerk should
seek
A raise Of five or ten per week
Or that some town, outside the
fence
That bounds his sway, should make
pretense
With an ambition strangely rash,
To anything that looks like cash.
No wonder that he seems so wise
Whene'er he cries "Economize!"
