Washington Democrat: If the

when LaFolIette came out then Cum.

aHeRoes.t So

know a man who seems to NE
AS unpretentious as can be.
He never boasts of all he does,
Nor thinks he's all that ever was.
His wife is always spick and span,
An honor quite, TO any man.
Her rosy cheeks and CHEEKY smile
Go far to prove that life's worth
while.
Their kids are always neat and trim
And look like her, which pleases him.
And he is always home at night,
With words of cheer and thought OF
right.
/ know a man who claims to be
A hero big and brave for he
Had struck some chap who dared OF
fend
A girl who seemed without a friend
If that was quite the thing to Go,
He was a hero then, It's true.
He's been a hero all his days,
To hear him throw himself bouquets
And yet one never hears him say
That he went home that very day
And beat his wife and stormed and
swore,
As oft he'd likely done before.
And now leave them here for you
