SIMON GRUE.

II sometimes think" said Simon Grue,
I'VE don't know what we're coming TO.
And then he took another "chaw'
And shook his head and worked his jaw,
And spat a puddle on the ground.
And all his thoughts seemd so profound
You'd deem the world could hardly spare
A man SO wise, who, sitting there,
Could find more faults in half day
And think up more mean things to say
Than half a hundred fellows who
Work hard and hope and give their due
OF manliness and honest worth
And help to season this old earth.
Il sometimes Think said Simon Grue,
1--WE don't know what we're coming to-.
And Simon didn't, for a fact.
Ere long by rheumatism racked,
He sought his bed and writhed and swore
And groaned at length and then some
more.
And when the neighbors heard of what
Had come to darken Simons lot,
Although kind-hearted as you'd find
Most anywhere and willing, mind,
To love their neighbors as themselves
And fill some poorer brothers shelves,
Each blthely went about his biz
And thought well of the rheumatic.

Young women predominated. 1t was the

expected to put up a large campaign
