THE CHAFFZlNG DISH
MY Dog and I

We're a model couple. my dog and I;
And we're used to each others ways;
For we've palled together through thick
and thin
Since took him, pup, to raise.
No, he's not blue blood in looks or birth
And he looks like tramp at best;
But he's faithful as only dog can be
From the dawn till he goes to rest.
I have never found in my travels wide
A companion as fair as he;
For where men would wander and leave
a friend
He has stuck like chum to me.
His home is wherever chance to go;
He never. not once, complains;
When lose, he loses-we shar, alike
And whatever win he gains.
L'Envoi
So we live our lives, my old dog and I,
Till at last we shall reach our ends;
And when Nature beckons, we'll both lie
down
And pass out observation-disclosures.

We have thought of a good punishment
for the Kaiser. After he gets through the
morning hymns and Is all set for the first
box Of tandstickers He will shake it, as
every smoker does, and hearing plentiful
rattle within the casket concludes that it
Is at least half full.
Upon opening the box he finds nothing
in it but bare stalks and two dozen little
birthstone shells that have come Off the
sticks. 1t happens to most of US every
day; why shouldn't the Kaiser endure 1t
once in a while?
We wish Lenine and Trotsky would
make the Jonkopings Tandsticksfabrik re-
move from their label the picture Of the
silver medal they were awarded at Mos
COW in 1872.
