Off Duty.

The actor plays another's part
At times with marked success,
Presents a copy to the world
In manner. style and dress.
With power. ability and tact
The other man Is shown,
But sometimes on the stage of life
He poorly plays his own.
Before the footlights' fitful glare
He plays the hero's part
And wins in spite of all his foes
The maiden OF his heart,
And ever happy do they live,
Serene. as man and wife.
Alas. the records Of the courts
Show something else In life!
When there is money to be paid
Some righteous end to gain
He has a roll of bills SO large
That ii would stop a train.
He scatters largess here and thefs
And makes the money fly.
Whereas outside 1t pushes him
At times to purchase pie.
The actor has a pleasant time.
His clothes are cut in style,
And for a happy hour or so
He wears a pleasant smile,
He wears a most contented look,
But IL the truth were known
We may be very certain he
Has troubles Of his own.
