Wheeler, It seems, wears a glove on

One wore the right glove on his right

The latter had to stick his thumb il

Time was when Mr.. Dempsey
Desired to emigrate;
He nimbly hoped a braHeoeam,
And got there on a freight.
The trip was slow and dirty,
But, thought he, what the odds;
II was a whole lot cheaper
To get there on the rods.
In days gone by, our hero
Lived not in manner grand;
His tummy made no protest
When il got coifee-and.
His wants were few and simple,
No tailor made his buds;
He did not yearn for nectar
AS long as he had suds.
But now. oh, what a difference
Since Jack has got the cusn!
He travels like a mogul
Upon the Pullman plush.
He dimes on filet mignon
With rich champignon dope,
And ends the feast by smoking
A mild Havana rope.
He has a secretary
To write his friends the news;
His valet's busy shining
Those patent leather shoes.
We wonder II he ever
Turns recollection loose
On times when he was lucky
To ride in a caboose?
