DEAR OLD DAO ”
Low Hawkins has concocted a few
observations on ‘father," which always
make a big hit. He says: Mother
eongs are as plentiful as flies in sum
mer time, but very few songs have
ever been dedicated to the old man
and those which have are all insults.
There’s the first one, “Father, dear
father, come home" with the old man
loaded in the first verse, as a sequel.
-The last one is "Everybody works but
father. But it ought to be everybody
works poor father. Something like
this:
Everybody works poor father
He toils for the dough all day
Then the “con man” comes and lifts it,
Isn't he an easy jay?
Mother raises hades
From morn ’til dark, ,
Everybody works poor father,
The good old easy mark.
Everybody works poor father.
He listens to the hot air man,
He welcomes each promoter
And every bunco man.
He bites on every gold brick,
He is the fakir’s friend.
Everybody works poor father,
Easy pickens in the end.”
“Father dear;” That’s what they call
him on Saturday night when he's due
to hike home and hand over his wastes.
All the rest of the week he’s the old
“geezer” or “his nobs.”
I was in a home the other night,
and over the parlor door saw the le
gend worked out in letters of gold,
“What is a home without a mother?”
Across the room was another brief,
•God bless our home.”
Now what is the matter with "God
bless our dad?”—he gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, grabs,his
dinner pail and wipes off the dew of
the dawn while many a mother is
sleeping. He makes the weekly hand
cut to the butcher, the grocer, the
milkman and baker, and his little pile
is badly worn before he has been home
an hour. He stands off the bailiff and
keeps the rent ]>aid up.
If there is a noise during the night,
dad is kicked in the back and made
to go down stairs to find the burglar
and kill him. Mothers darn the socks,
btu dad buys the socks in the first
place and the needles and the yam
afterwards. Mother does up fruit; well,
but dad buys it all, and Jars and sugar
cost like the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sunday
dinner, carves them hkmself and draws
the neck from the ruins after every
one else is served. “What is home
without a mother?” Yes, that is all
rigtj/. hut ‘What is home without
father?” Ten chances to one it’s a
boarding house, fatner is under a slab,
and the landlord is the widow. Dad,
here’s to you. You have got your
faults—you may have lots of them'—
but we miss you when you're gone.
(This reminds me of the question
of the kindergarten teacher to her
class—• V.’liat animal supplies food and
leather for your shoes? The reply of
the bright little boy was—Father.”

olive-drab, most everyone is talking
"Over-there.” To me peace seems not
so far distant somehow.
I often, hear it expressed that Trot
sky and the like will yet be the men of
the hour
I want to say to you Bill, that Prus
sianism must cease to be. “Those
Junkers roe .a curse to humanity—a
curse to their own people.'*
The day of kings and kaisers are
numbered, if I see the signs of the
times aright, a great current of thought
is sweeping throughout the world today
and I bedieve the emancipation of the
race is coming in the near future.
The weather has been awfully cold,
40 below zero being common. I am
having an enjoyable winter, still like
all embuded with the wanderlust. I
long to be back in the game some
where. My family are all enjoying the
best of health, they send their best re
gards to friends up there. X expect
to see you next summer With best
wishes to all, I am
, yours sincerely
Nick.
