More Truth

By JAMES ]. MONTAGUE

The Martyrs.
With private and personal business
Our statesmen are always en-
crossed;
They don't give a cuss for the
pomp and the fuss
That go with a cabinet post.
They haven't the money they
haven't the time,
They cry. with a heart breaking
sob,
And then. with a sacrifice. high and
sublime,
They CALAMITY go on the job.
Take Jones. who receives as a
lawyer
Ten thousand or so for a case;
Just look what he'd lose ioerry

Against ell such honors by and BY;
And sternly refuses TO swerve,
But take Il from Us, and get down

That Jones-if he's asked to

And Brown-though his friends
have insisted
That no one can possibly be
SO thoroughly fit in an armchair

And help Mr.. Harding as he,
Declares that he cannot afford TO

In fact he declines IN advance
And yet for a fortnight he hardly

For fear that he'll not get the

BABIES.

BABIES.

Babies have no eyebrows and
