The ,i'rnmc Con.

Tho Copper, he stands on the corner
Where the stream OF humanity flows,
Come banker and broker and bcggar
And rosy young swcethcarts and beauS;
And he halts with his magic whistle
Tho vehicles blocking tho way.
And in sunshine rain keeps his vigil.
Does the Car OF the Absolute Sway.
When summer beats down with its scorching
lie is there with his whistled command;
In winter he holds up the traffic
With wave OF his wooden g!oved hand:
It's one for the teams to stand steady
And it's two for the cars TO go on;
It's big game OF chess on the corner,
And the Copper is movin. the pawn.
It's a cold, dreary job in December,
And a whitening post in July;
But the Copper is always the Copper.
With the viGilant traffic squad eye;
So here's health TO tho man iii brass buttons.
And it's howdyc, old friend, and good day
TO the chap with his mastcrfui whistle,
TO the Monarch OF Absolute Sway.
