The ldler.
by Robert1ee Campbell.)

He likes to be called "Mister James,"
While you are simply 'sTom,"
And he never tires Of talking
About the place Pm from"
He usually has money, which
Some kith or kin hath made
BY dint and Drawn till dark from dawn
While he lay in the shade.
He's always 1T when he's around,
He takes the best in store,
And you will smile approval, though
You know he is a bore.
Then when ne gets the best you have
He passes down the line,
And buns the other fellow while
Your crop is growing fine.
But when he's gone you cannot rest,
This man is such a bore,
For picture post cards, glowing scenes,
He'll send you by the score.
Then when your work is over and
Your crop is gathered in,
Your larder's stocked, your fruit is
ripe,
Your rest may now begin;
But no, the Idler seeks you out
To tell you where he's been.

"oh, you bonehead you imbecile-
can't you do anything right?'
And thereafter MISS Purcell knew
what to do with the advice of the vol
unteer instructor,
"Supes' are apparently quito hungry

apples. The barrGll was almost filled
with paper and Just few apples were

were making ready for this picture the
apples kept disa appearing and the uSSor
