UNITED PARTY.

ca Political Fable Without the Hint
Of q Moral.)
There arose thruout the land q
great hue and cry, against the two
great parties. Thesradicals clamored
for something more radical, the con-
servatives moaned for something
more conservative and the cranks,
whose number is legion, walled for
something different, regardless.
Thus there came about third
party, bound together by crouch.
But within a month there were rum
blings within the ranks. There were
many VINO did not like the way
things We're done. knowing how much
better they could do them.
So there was another break and a
fourth party was formed But soon
a group in this new party decided
that the salvation Of the world was
| not yet possible and that what was
| needed was a real party, composed,
to be sure, Of real people, meaning
themselves. Whereupon the fifth
party was born.
There followed a sixth and q sew
enth and an eighth party and many
more until the thousandth party had
been organized. For three months it
remained intact and then crank
arose to announce that it was all
wrong and that he, was going to
start new party.
Thus was created the thousand
and first party, composed solely and
exclusively Of one crank. It adopt
ed a platform without dissension,
nominated candidate without n
murmur and cast solid vote for
himself. Party harmony had been
achieved at last.

HEART SONGS.

HEART SONGS.
I Am Burglar, ! Am.
The other night, near a. m.
l was awakened by noise:
1t kind of scared me, admit,
And also threw me off my poise.
Then in the dark / saw man,
His gun was pointed at my head.
What do you want of me?" l asked.
He smiled a gloomy smile and
said:
Il am burglar. am.
My name is Co and- Get En- Sam.
There was time not long ago
When ginks like me had half a
show.
A gentle hold-up now and then
Would get US blokes little yen;
A pleasant job and more genteel
Would give us quite a nifty meal.
But now that prices is SO high
We has to make bigger try.
We has to blow bloomin' safe
In some big bank or mebbe cafe,
With glycerin or dynamite,
To get the coin to buy bite"
This gloomy mortal touched my
heart,
I realized his awful fate;
I shed q sympathetic tear
Altho the hour was very late.
/ could not hate this criminal,
No mater how I wished and tried.
I could not dam emotions flow;
When wiping out his eyes, he
cried:

chorus.
II am burglar, am,
They call me Go-and- Get En- Sam.
I always was gentle bloke
And never tried to main or choke.
A little harmless larceny
Had always seemed enough for me.
My crimes were always just and fair,
My life was virtuous and square.
But grub costs such an awful price
/ can't afford to be so nice.
And If take q human life
It's just because love my wife.
I do not mean to kill or bruise,
But baby needs pair OF shoes"
A marvellous nation, the Germans!
Consider how often they do what
they've just said was impossible,
when the allies stop talking to them
and begin to consult Foch.
What an awful thing it must be to
go to all the expense of getting
delirium tremens and then see water
snakes!
