And Thenhe Says Business Is Bad

The average farmer gets up to the alarm of a Connecticut clock, buttons his Chicago susPenders to a Detroit overall, washes his face with Cincinnati soap' sits down to a Grand Rapids table, eats Kansas City meat and Minnesota flour, cooked on a Sears Roebuck stove. He goes out to the barn, puts a New York bridle on a Missouri mule fed with Colorado alfalfa, plows his farm covered with a Vermont mortgage, with an Illinois plow. When bedtime comes he reads a chapter from the Bible printed in Boston' says a prayer written in Jerusalem, crawls undef a blanket made in New Bedford, only to be awakened during the nightby the howling of a home-grown dogthe only home-grown product on. the place, and then the Son-of-agun wonders why the Hell he can't make a living.

"My equity in my automobile I want to go to my son. He will have to go to work then to meet the payments."

"Give my unpaid bills to the bonding company; thcy took some awful chances on me and are entitled to something."

"That new-fangled machine on the job, I want the resident engineer to have. He made me buy it; maybe he can make it work."

"My retained percentage, give to the state; I never expected to get it an5rway."

"My equipment, give to the junk man. He has had his eye on it for several years."

"My keg, I want to go to my bootlegger. I hope it costs him as much to keep it wet as it has me."

"I want you to handle the funeral for me, Judge. Any undertaker will do, but I want these six material men for pallbearers. They have carried me so long, they might as well finish the job."

My Dog

The curate thinks you have no sou!

I know that he has none. \ut Yf' Dear friend ! Whose solemn s{t-y'ntrot

In our four-square, familiar ! Was pattern to my Youth-whose bark

Called me in surnmer dawns to roveHave you gone down into the dark

Where none is welcome, none maY live?

I will not think those good brown eyes Have spent the light of truth so soon; Your wraith, I know, rebukes the moon, And quarters every Plain and hill' Seeking its master-as for me

This prayer at least the gods fulfill: That when I pass the flood, and see Old Charon by thc Stygian coast Take toll o'f all the shades who land, Your little, faithful, barking ghost May leap to lick my phantom hand.
