Full soon the wintrv winds will blow.

pony up a yen to help the poor and
sad-eyed men who haven't got the price
1t is a pleasure thus to stake the man
whose children cry for cake if he's
worthy gent, with honest aims and
record straight, who has been buffeted
by fate until he's worn and bent. But
little pleasure do we find in helping out
the other kind who swarm in every town.
the men who loafed when days were
bright, and hid when work doomed up
in sight, and held street corners down.
The men who argued politics instead OF
laying stone or bricks and shedding hon
est sweat, may suffer on the wintrv
day and long for pies in vain but they
deserve Just what they get. If every
ablebodied guy would hustle bravely in
July he wouldn't starve in March; he'd
have his bacon and his ham, his larder
would be full of jam, and prunes, and
kraut, and starch. The statesmen give
us endless laws to fit most every bug
house cause, but what we needs a law
requiring every healthy man to go anc
work as best he can, with hands instead
of jaw. This thing of loafing should be
made a felony. then buns afraid of
spending years in Jail would strive to
