THE WISE BIRD.

THE WISE BIRD.
When all my friends were buying
stock
That seemed a winning gamble,
I tried TO put my house in hook
And join their eager scramble.
1 had a giddy. Keeling dream
OF what the deal would net me;
And vet | didn't join the scheme
Ny missus wouldn't let me.
The stock, a fleeing week or two,
Assembled like a rocket;
But when. one chilly day. il blew,
NV friends were out Of pocket.
And then with Earring words and
rough
Their simpleness chided,
Said I: You should have known
enough
To duck that stock, like I did"
When from a broker I got word
That there might be a furry.
I tried 20 sell my Fur preferred
And sell IL in a hurry.
But TO my great distress of mind
And hideous disquiet.
In all the Street I couldn't find
a broker who would buy it,
Then 10, the stock began 10 soar
And in its aviations.
Exceeded, in a week or more,
Ny widest expectations.
And then. with an expanding chest
I took my friends 10 dinner,
And said: Whenever I invest
I always pick a winner"

It should be dspered by the 18th annual report

The annual farm census Of the reclamation
