Results OF LAND SPECULATION

The year 1919 witnessed the most

More Truth
Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
IT'S AN ILL WIND.

IT'S AN ILL WIND.
If YOU trust all your cash to a brok-
Who hastens away 10 the south.
Leaving never sou of your band
roll to you.
Why moan or get down in the
mouth?
Some friend who has never had
money.
And envied the luck that you had.
But who sounded your praise in
your prosperous days.
VIII hear of your tate-and be
glad.
If the firm that YOU happened TO
work for
Goes broke and you're out of a
job,
Do not worry or fret, stifle back
your regret.
With never a sigh or a sob.
Some friend that you used to buy
drinks for.
Although he is down with the
blues,
Will unbuckle his pelf and buy one
for himself.
He will get so much JOY from the
news.
If the play or the book you have
written
Should make most numbering
bust.
Why tear out your hair in burst
of despair;
Why even get nettled or fused
Some friend who has owed you n
hundred,
Which he never has mentioned
for years.
When he learns of your fliv' will be
certain 10 give
Three ringing and echoing cheers.
Whenever you fall in your fortunes,
Although you are saddened a while,
Some friend that you had Will be
sure 10 be glad.
And welcome the news with a
smile
Though ruin and bankruptcy round
you
Loom ugly and evil and grim,
1t would crafty you, oh, so much,
if you knew.
That il gave so much pleasure to
him.
