TAKE YOUR CRUEL"


One day while roaming the streets of Butte
| saw the form of tall ''gaoOt,
With a two weeks beard or bis cadaverous face
And pants all shattered about the base,
And coat, so dresdfully rent and torn,
'Twould brighten crows from held of corn
And he pazed with eager, hungry stare
Through restaurants big show window. where
The richest viands were placed in sight
As bait for the wandering appetite.
As stood he gazing at the good things there
His thin lips moved, but not IN prayer,
But he muttered curses at the tate
That had kicked him downward TO such state
He was one of those shiftess. worthless cranks
Who had changed his politics. left the ranks
OF the party known as the g. D. r.
And switched to the free democracy.
He was gazing into the window there
Anticipating the bill of fare
such as ne had perused when he had the pelf.
And this is the way he roasted himself.
