More. Truth

HOW CAN THEY DO TIP
Old Jake Kildare was a hard boiled

Uncommonly hard and GRIM
You never could borrow or coax or
beg
The price Of a meal from him.
The old mans wits were as keen as
steel:
Whatever he tackled paid:
He never was gyped on a business
deal
Or trimmed on a single trade.
But when he shufled his earthly
cares
And lay in the cold. cold ground.
And the will was read 10 his right
full heirs
1t jolted them when they found.
That he'd paid a million TO buy a
note
That only the other day,
In fond endearing terms ne wrote
To Jane In a cabaret.
Jim Green was man without ro-
nance
A sordid morose old gent
Never by any sort Of a chance
Was he moved by sentiment.
He took the shrewdest OF sharpers in
With a grim and ghoulish pride.
And grlnned an evil and savage grin
As he peeled a suckers hide.
But when old Jim had passed along.
The world was amazed 70 find
That there wasn't the price of a
marked down song
In the wealth he had left behind.
Il had all been paid for a missive,
which,
In day not so long ago.
He had written a little blue eyed
