Dear Folks:
Yesterdays q III girl. named Gladys
Garfiicker, writ Lon. an asked him IL he
wouldn't scribble somethin' about people
attendin' to their own business, as her
brother. Eustace Garfiicker. was punc-
turin every prospect he had in life. be-
cause OF his unfortunate failin' of con-
tinually hornin' In on things that didn't
concern him, an as ''Eust'' positively re-
fused to take her advice. she thought
mebbe II he seen Il print that he might
take a tumble an try to Ereak himself of
tn habit.
Tn liz girls appeal SO touched tn kid
that he worked out tn followin'. which
he hopes will catch Eustace.
You'll often hear some nosey guy COM
plainin'.
That although he works from early morn
til night.
He never seems to gain a bit OF headway.
Nor make his simplest effort pan out
right
He can tell his next door neighoor how
to do It,
An untangie every difficulty shown.
He's a bear-cat with another feller's bus-
mess.
But fivver when attendin' to his own.
He'll hep you to big tip on tn market.
That came straight from his old friend
J. p. NJ
Then beg you for the sake OF all that's
holy
Not to say tn information came from
him.
But by tn time he's finished teiIin'
others,
TIL propositions failed. tn bubbles
blown.
An he sadly learns they handed him a
When they found him loose with business
of his own.
II his best pal has q bust-up with his
Minnie
An can't dope out wherein tn trouble
lies,
Old snoopy will explain It in a jiffy.
An quickly put his love-sick partner
wise,
But after worIin' six or seven hours
Enticin' his own frou-frou of alone,
He'll close UP like a sickly clam with
lockjaw.
Cause he can't do any business of his
He'll dive right in between two scrsppin'
brothers,
An tell 'em it's a shame to act that
way.
Then calmly ask what time tn trolley
hit him,
When they bring him back TO earth tn
followin' day.
o. course he tries his best to be obligin'? ?
An by his pleasin' ways he's widely
known.
But in meddlin' with tn things that don't
concern him
He forgets he has a business Of his own
So tn moral OF this homely ILL titbit.
Is. no matter who you are nor what you
do,
Don't forget that arbItration's always
thankless
Notwithstandin' it's been put right up to
you.
Switch tn subject to tn weather IL you're
concerned.
Or claim you've really gotta beat It home
Never volunteer to do anothers business
Just remember you've q business Of your
own -DOPBY DAN
Note-Lon says tn time another inau-
guration rolls around thy'll have to make
some of them ILL historical signs read, on
