MORE TRU'TH THAN POETRY
James J. MOntdgue-=
MASTER AND SLAVE.

A dog looks up at you and smiles,
And wags his tail in alteration.
He has all sorts of tricks and wiles
To earn your kindly appreciation.
Hes always joyfully on hand.
II makes NO difference how you treat hir
Although 1t breaks his heart, he'll stand
And lot you beat him.
A cat looks down on you and snsers,
And though he Stimulates affection,
behind your back) he slyly Jeers,
Whene'er he looks in your direction.
Well fed, he is OF goodly mien,
Like downy velvet pads his paws are,
But cuff him, and you'll find how keen
And quick his claws are,
The dog sticks with you to the end,
Through trouble, shipwreck or disaster,
Your slave he is, your pal, your friend;
He sees In you his lord and master.
The cat, although he seems demurs,
Dissimulates in every feature.
You feed and bed him, so he's sure
That you're his creature.
You've got to hand il to the cat,
He feels superior-never doubt II.
And there is ground for thinking that
He possibly is right about 1t.
But though the way he plays his part
With admiration often fires you,
The dog gets closer to your heart,
For he admires youl
