islender roll, hoping to lay in some
Icordwood or coal. hoping to pur-

duds, hoping to purchase a bone
for the cat, some one comes
cheerfully passing the hat! Pass

warm, passing the hat for some
noble reform, passing the hat for
the fellows who fail, passing the
hat to remodel the Jail, passing

some one forever is passing the

hand out your roll-if you don't
give YOU are lacking soul!
What if the feet of your children
are bare: What if your wife has
no corset to wear? What if your
granny is weeping for shoes?
What if the grocer's demanding
his dues? Some one will laugh at
such logic as that, some one who's
merrily passing the hat! Passing
the hat for the pink lemonade,
passing the hat for moral cru

guish the rat-some one forever is
passing the hat!
