ITS 4 QUEER Il OLD
WORLD We live IN.

The longer I linger the more I
discern that t'hds world Of OUTS is
a darn queer concern. It's acrime
to pick pockets, but it's perfectly
right TO pick a mans wages on Sat-
urday might, Tor the Laws are con
structed wherever I've been, that
the workers are made for the graft
ers TO skin. If you try to be hon
est you don't stand chance; you
are sure to be known by the patch
on your pants IL you steal a few
millions you're a person of note;
If you steal al ham bone the police
get your goat. II you run aarond
naked you're sent to the PEN; if
You swipe some old clothing you
go there again. II you murder in
war then your valor is sung; if
you privately murder you're DOOM
ed tp be hung. II girl sells her
virtue she's branded as vile; but
the rooster that bought it is met
with smile. If man tells the
truth then the people get tired; il
he tells them a myth why they say
he's inspired. It's funny old world
wherever you turn; It's a devilish
twisted and darn queer concern
It's badly balled up and it's al
out OF tune, and must be sight
to the man in the moon. Henry

We'll you should have known. L
thought you were running a news
paper. Wouldn't that rattle youl.

know everything that happens, even
II we see, hear, feel, taste or smell

II you are going away, or have re-
turned from a visit out of town, if

If your husband chops his toe in

Tell us about it. That's the way to
get it in the paper.
