DON'T BRAG.

To pay all your bills is thing you
should do,
You needn't go Dragging about it.
If your credit is good it will boiler
And nobody ever will doubt it.
If you've held a job for a great
length of time
And handled big sums without steal
ing a dime,
Men will take it for granted you
don't stoop to crime,
You needn't go Dragging about it.
Because you are square and as good
as your word,
You needn't go Dragging about it;
If you have a virtue, to boast is alb
surd,
For nobody ever will doubt it.
Y our cleverness all or your deeds will
proclaim,
And honor, if worthy, will join with
your name;
Because you've done nothing to
wrap you in shame
You needn't go Dragging about it,
It's nothing unusual here to be good
You needn't go Dragging about it.
If you're on the level, that facts un-
derstood,
And nobody ever will doubt it.
Just think of the millions who're
good to their wives,
Whose ankles and wrists have never

Who live honest, decent and sane
Christian lives,
Yet never go Dragging about it.

A BUSY Life.

A Busy Lie.
When a man is keeping chickens,
Runs the rhyme,
He's as busy as the dickens
All the time
He must codd1e hens and pullets,
Watch each need,
And provide for hungry outlets
Lots Of feed.
He must be a rapid thinker
Take our tip,
When he has to stop and tinker
With the pip.
He must cure the fowl that sickens
From the rOup,
Or he wont have any chickens
In his coop.
