Saving Grace.
He couldn't build a railroad
Nor solve a problem tough.
He couldn't write a poem.
Hut he could run a bluff.
And wasn't that enough?
J)ON'T be afraid of doing more than
your share of the work; people
take that sort of greediness with the
greatness complacency.
The worse a funny man feels the
funnier he Is.
Our Idea of retributive Justico would

I went Into a butcher shop
To get a piece of steals.
The butcher handed me a look
That made my pocket ache.

Ho added more to It.
Oh. everything Is on the Jump
Since dying la in style.
The butcher gives a pleasant look
And charges tor his smile.
You have to mortgage house and lot,
Your auto and your mule.
To get enough to II x the lunch
The kids must take to school.
I went into a baker shop
To get a loaf of bread.
I listened to the baker's charge,
And on the spot fell dead.
And as 1 slowly came to life
He said: "I'll charge you more.
Your bill must be Increased because
You fainted In the store."
Oh. everything Is on the fly.
The prices In the air;
Arise and sail around the moon.
And you must meet them there.
You draw your little bank account.
The grocer says. "Oh. gee.
That only pays for part of It,
The rest goes C. O. D."
