REPRESENTATIVE ANTI-WEDS
OF THE U. S, A.

The House Of Representative
Has twOscore anti-weds,
That. wh,n their daily tasks are done,
Must sleep in lonesome beds.
Unwise 10 real companionship
OF baby. child, or wife.
Each. in his blissful blessedness,
Now leads lonely life.
Yet all these forty bachelors
Have pcTtened up in heart
Since. from the mountains OF the
West,
A lady now takes part
My. how they stretch their rubber
And smile and wink and grin.
Nhene'er NOntana's 5 Mystery
Comes cooling calmly in.
The lady's not a prophecies.
But hears a still small voice.
From all these forty bachelors.
That she can take her choice;
And all Of them. determinedly,
Each playing well his part,
Expect to win eventually
Sweet Miss MOntana's heart.
Lonergan. from Connecticut,
Sweet as the honey bee,
Reads danger in the fine cigar
OF Hull. from Tennessee:
While yInson, ~oald-head Georgia
sport,
Vows he can stand his hand
With Louisiana's loved Dupree,
Or Mudd, from Maryland.
When Igo. from Missouri, to
Montana pays Tes7eCts,
Tall wason, from New Hampshire's
hills
Quits all and rubbernecks.
While Massachusetts Tinkham, and
Cap'n HeintZ. from Ohio,
And Stafford. from Wisconsin. all
Keep tab on brave lgoe.
Fred Kinkaid. from Nebraska. has
His office near his Prize,
But Dill. from Washington. declares
His pictures in her eyes:
While Norton, North Dakota sport.
Knows he's the lucky man,
In spite Of softest whispers from
Nichols, of Michigan.
Fred Dominick, so young and small,
South Cardinals pride.
Like Whaley. from the selfsame State.
Hopes he has met his bride;
While Denison and SABBATH, from
The State OF Illinois,
Each prays at night on bended knee
That he may be the boy.
Stout Doweu, Kennedy and Woods,
Who from Iowa came,
Are. each one, running neck and
neck
To share with her his name:
While Indiana's bald-pate Krauss,
And Moores, with mild mustache.
Swear that on Miss AIontana's mind
They'll make a mighty mash.
Knutson. from Minnesota, with
The cutest tie" yet seen,
breads one man from his own dear
State,
BaId-headed. tall Lundeen.
But Oliver and Huddleston,
From down in HeTe-we-rest.
Bark louder on Montana's trail
Than any Of the rest.
A trio from the Lone Star State
Polite, young, gushy Jones,
And stout, sleek-headed Rayburn,
with
A heart Of griefs and groans.
And staunch and stately Summers, in
Whom love and beauty blend,
VIII worship all her antics till
Their terms in Congress end.
The nve from Pennsylvania.
That long for their release,
Are LssheT. Kelly, Templeton.
Dewalt and cunning Keiss-
These five are running all abreast
The sight Is rich indeed!
And every blooming one OF them
Swears he is in the lead.
Just half a dozen stately stays,
All hailing from New York,
OF late have dreamt sweet dreams
about
The funny-fabled stork.
LaGuardia, Chandler, Sanders, Gould,
And Oliver, all claim
That Francis is the lucky man
To change the lady's name.
The lady Representative
Expresses sweet surprise
At these twoscore Of bachelors
That make such "goo-goo eyes,"
But from this great variety
Bald, hairy, big and small
She says she doesn't care for one
She rather claim them all.
The Houses bunch of bachelors
All have peculiar charms.
But none OF these knows his own
needs
Like the "Sa-argenat-of-Arms,
While forty Representatives
Are making quite a phiz,
The Sergeant, A. B. Gorden. says
The prospects all are his.
