A pickpocket Of eighty-seven. re-

Though picking pockets is a trade.
Most honest folks discountenance,
Though very seldom is it made
The theme Of popular romance.
And though il yields hut little gold,
1t has a few good points at that.
For instance, when A man grows old.
Il doesn't ever leave him fat.
The baseball players arm goes bad
When he is. well. say thirty-two;
The skill and cunning that he had
Departs abruptly. and he's through.
The tenor. when his voice has gone.
Must needs let all the world for
get him;
For though he'd like 20 carry on
HIS heartlezs audience won't let
him.
The lawyer in his dotage finds
That he toward penury must
trudge:
For clients all want Younger minds
To frame their stories 70 the
Judge.
Ard even poets must abstain
From writing in their autumn
time.
For through the aged worn out
brain
There sings no tune, there rings
no rhyme.
More lucky IS the hoarv "dip'

Around some total strangers roll.

You are not hearing republicans say
ing much nowadays about personal
government and dictntiOn from the
White House.
The Philadelphia Record makes plain
the reason In the following editorial:
"A republican congress eating out OF
the pres,itlcnts hand; a republican con-
rress jumping through the hoop when
the president cracks his whip the one
man power In the White House issuing
his orders to congress, and Congress
obeying.
Yet We hear nothing from the repub-
lIcan. about Caesar. Nero and Caligula
and nothing about personal government
and nothing Of the presidential en-
c,oachment upon the prerogntives OF
congress and nothing Of President
Har,iingx dictation. or his vanity. or
his determination to rule or ruin. Per
sonal government Is an admirable
thing by a republican president 1t Is
only when the president IL democrat
that II violates the constitution and de-
strOys our liberties.
And there IL not enough sense OF
humor In the entire republican party
to appreciate the situntion"
