an an! DOT lSS right! But VOt ABOUT
de fool und his suppose prains? dink
dot oder man vas a fool dot don't know
how to use his prains und vot goot does it
do for him? Not Won bit of goot but some
dimes it always gets him indo droubles.
So Why not pc like minesef-don't hafe
some? l don't want any. Veil, chess l vas
hoppy mitout too much prains und vas
sorry didn't use vot lette hafe got be-
fore it vas too late.
Our paper says, at is vas never too late
to mend" Yah, dot iss drue. But it don't
mean for you to wait till you vas dead.
You see l vas not like some who dinks
dot dey hafe all de prains. But dell me
Won ding, do dey know how to use dem7
Dot iss und vas de question.
Now ven some one try to told you how
much prains dey hafe, right away quick
60 und get Won pig hammer und dell
dem to crack open nit der heads und
dey would find vot prains! Oh, no it
would pc empty full of holdings.
If he vas so schmart und had so much
prains Why, oh Why, didn't he use dem und
stay away from dis hotel de rest3
1t would pc no goot to ask him dot he
would say know vat l vas doings. YAH
know too you vas doing time for having
too much prains.
Ven you will find a whole lot of fellows
who dinks dot dey know it all, und vat dey
do know l vas sure dot don't want to
know, or do want to find out.
Did you efer see a man vot dought he
knew it all und ven you try to dell him
somedings-oh, know vat und who, und
all apout it und ven it vas proved to him
dot he vas wrong he will say, "Oh,
dought it vas dot way"
Yah, you dought so, so did und so did
efer one eles dought, but dought vas de
ways und de means of getting you caught
Pc sure you vas right keep still init your
mouth, und go ahead und stop your
doughting.
1t vas all right for man to keep his
mouth shut tight und not let oders know
his business but l pity de man vot who
vas always poking his nose into some one
elses business.
Anoder ding vas dis, dere always can
be found men eferwhere who ven dey
see some vone trying to make goot, in
stead of giving him as he should Won
helping hand, vot does he do? Wy he
gets his little hammer oud und right away
he starts to knock mitt all his main und
his might.
Vas he to see himself as does odders he
would pc ashame of himself und of vat he
vas doing.
So instead of hammer, get yourself
Won pick und help him pick de big stones
dot vas in his way und then you will hafe
someding to smile for.
You hafe oftimes heard Won fellow say
ven you told him Something's, ooh, I know
schust vot I vas doing und hafe prains
enough to do it right.
Yah! he did it right, all right but he
will hafe to hafe more prains den vot he
had to patch up de right. So ven you see
a man who vas drying to do, und help
himself in dis world by lifing goot clean
life, und instead of wasting your prains
use dem to his and to your advantage.
Throw away your knocking hammer pc
cause in de long run it won't do you no
goot und you will be better off to yourself
und to odders.
You might dink dot knocking vas great
sport to you, yah if you but knew vat de
odders thought you would pc ready to do
as say.
Try it vonce und if you don't suckseed
den go und buy Won lemon goot und sour
