boast of another humorist in the per-
son of Congressman Kent, of California
During a dignified debate on the far
mers' free list" bill, Mr.. Kent opened
with an amusing roast" on the tariff
laws in general,as his maiden effort
and ended with the following poem
which threw the house into an uproar
He makes II clear to me
That what ] lose / gain, you see;
And on such things as clothes and shoes
seem TO gain. but really lose.
Thus, II buy my socks too low,
They'll still be- higher-he says So
And shoes ! thought were high last fall
Were really low shoes after all.
II pay less for shoes
Or hats, the maker has TO lose;
And II he loses, then, you see,
Hecharges up the loss to me.
Now when l have TO pay him moro
He reckons profits to his store.
And Duncan finds q share for me
In all this prosperity.
The speeches shed radiant light
Upon the theme and make II bright;
merely read them o'er and DER
To find more's less and less is more.
In buying hat, or coat, or vest,
Dear's cheap and cheap is dear at best,
Highs low, lows high,
Far's near. near's far,
Whites black blacks white
And there you are.h

WHO WOULD NOT
ADVERTISE

breathes there man with soul so
dead that 10 himself has never said:
My trade Of late Is getting bad, ri
try another ten inch ad." II such there
be, 30 mark him we'll. For him no
bank account shall swell, no angels
watch the golden stair to welcome
homo a millionaire. To such man
tho noisy din OF traffic may not enter
in, for bargain seekers by the score
shall pass nor heed his dingy door.
Tread lightly, friends, lot no rude
sound disturb his solitude profound.
So let him live in calm repose, un-
sought except by mon he owes. And
when he dies, go plant him deep, that
naught may break his dreamless sleep;
where no rude elamor may dispel, the
quiet that he loved so we'll, and that
the world may know It's loss, place on
his grave a wreath OF moss and on the
stone above: Here lies a chump who
