entitled THE Teachers Pension
Fund is the Best Thing Out"
The Teachers Pension Fund will
come to our State to stay
To brighten ex-teachers' spirits up,
and drive the fear away.
To show 'em how they all can
laugh, as in days Of yOre,
When they taught the district
school, and swept the dusty
floor.
And all the ones who'll get It, when
the summer days are done
Will sit around the kitchen fire, and
have the mOstest fun
A talkin' bout the good things the
pension brought about
For the Teachers Pension Fund
Is The Best Thing Ont
Once there was a legislator who
would not be convinced
About the virtues of the Teachers
Fund. jest shuck his head and
WINGED
And he kept agittin' stingier and
meaner day by day;
Till one time he turned up missin',
he's jest bIowed plumb away.
They seeked him in the medder lot,
the cubby-hole, the we'll;
they seeked him in the five and ten,
and yet they couldn't tell
rill they found his worn out purse, |
he'd squeezed with his last |
breath.
30 then they knOwed what ails him
He Had Starved To Death.
Then Hardesty, Welch and Walls
valiant ex-teaehers three
Rolled up their sleeves and got to
work, as busy as can be
Vritin' letters; maxim calls, and
> maybe said their prayers
70 regain the Pension Fund, and re-
lieve their comrades cares.
md they'll surely get their wish for
their faith is great
n Mr.. duPont's last wishes in sett-
ling his estate.
nd IL you are awonderin' how it'll
all come about
ust attend Mrs. Walls party,
And You'll Soon Find Out.
nd what 1 want to say is. when
you're feelin' blue indeed.
ont see no use livin', no use to
plant no seed
nd think this is the wOrstest
world that you have even seen
yet
nd feel just like givin' up, and :
cussin' some, you bet.

and meet her sister, too,
