A DREAM. I want to run for office, and I want to get wise, : must have information from some Jasper guys, i want to hold an office, an office that will pay, Vn cffice where there is no work, but lots of good old pay. j : n a certain sap-head, that's had my share of spoil, am an honest lawyer, and a steerer, clear of toil. . ai : around the barrooms and pull the suck&rs in, .vnd when you go and look for me, I'm always in ti e swim. )h! I must have an office, or I will have a fit, ;r I am just so used to it, to suck the public tit, That it makes me kind o' nervous, to see these good things slip. Even though I'm not the man, I know that I'm unfit. I've had ten years of public life and I am good and fat, !ut that has been so long ago, we cannot figure ihat. I lid it for the party, the party did for me, ; v) you see, twas up to me, to rake the healthy fee. -"jw again I'm at the door, the same old door of yore. I want to hold an office, I often have before. I am knocking, gently knocking, knocking till I'm sore. So open up your voting pore, and stick for evermore. I've got a good old record, I'll show you any night, Just come down to the corner, and I will put you right, I am a peach at "schof-kop" not very much at law', But I can hand down a decision, ever through its raw. So flock to me good people and bring your friends alone:, And I will open up the record and sing the same old song. The song of my ascension, the story of my life. How I fought and bled and died, and buried in the strife. Sqedunk.

''When through this sad, sad world I roam, I love you foi yourself alone,' says he: That ain't even good hot air." "That's iust what brother Wilfred was saying," chirped
the Manicure Lady. "Wilfred was reading all the lines over to us, as I was just saying, and he says to ma and May and me, 'Well, what do you think of a womans falling for that?' "You know since Wilfred nailed that job writing verse ads for Sanderson's Sandpaper Soap he's getting kind of cocky about his talent. He fixed over some of the verses and made them kind of sarcastic. . That's one thing I will have to give Wilfred, he ain t no EOlt mark for love affairs, and mostly sidesteps ladies with homes and families. He's too long in the league, he says, Whatever that means. Anyhow, he fixed over that verse you was mentioning like this: (My darling May, my darling May, 1 love you more each passing day.

Some time later I met one of Mrs. Astor s grand
daughters whom I J?ad not seen for some time. As I was leaving I asked her to present my respectful homage to Mrs. Astor, whom I had known, adding that she probably wouldn't remember me.
