THE TEST


If you'd a million dollars.
And 1 had thirty cents,
We'd never get together
IN any kind of weather,
You IN gem studded collars,
Ne IN my rags and rents:
II you'd q million dollars
And L had thirty cents.
If I'd a little cottage
And you a mansion grand.
Love ne'er could span the spaces
Betwixt our hearts and places.
II ate humble pottage
And you the rich Wand:
If I'd a little cottage
And you a mansion grand.
IF you were fond of reveI.
And l were fond of books,
We'd doubtless stay asunder.
For love would be a bIunder.
IWould irk me, on the level.
70 have to govern cooks:
# you were fond of revel.
And / were fond of books.
But since you have no ''nnun" now
And I'm as poor as you,
ven try in the wee cottage
And exc with humble pottage
If what viii do for one now
Won't also do for two;
Since you, dear, have no mum" nov
and Pm as poor as you.

Your brain should after years of
study be flexible, logical and viriIe,
but you must produce results before
we will take you seriously. But be-
cause of your claims of being above
supposed uncultured men every trans
gresslon you make we will score YOU.
II you are telling us the truth you
have been bred to appreciate the nice
ties of life so when you talk and
act like the ordinary people YOU can
expect real raps. Do not hide behind
the thought, ''they know, I know bet
ter. To know what to do and not
to do it is a disgrace.

Though she still believes that she loves

fanciful that it is hard TO understand
how they ever had birth in the mind OF
the peOple-fOr instance, the dande-

dents de lion, because the serrations OF
