BOB L AFOLLETTE.
(W.'th apologies to the author of
“Danny Deever”),
"What makes the Kaiser grunt so
hard?” said Fritz-on-Parade.
“He’s dreadin’ news he's goin’ to get,”
the Pretzel Master said.
"Has Austria demanded peace?” said
Fritz-on-Parade.
“Not on your life! Not on your life!”
the Pretzel Master said.
“They are bouncin’ Bob La Follette—
he’s a special Kaiser fan,
Who’s worked for Father Billiam l'ke
a perfect hired man,
And nowAnd now it’s on the calendar
to give the cuss the can,
For they’re 'bouncin’ Bob La Follette
in the mornin’.”
“What’s turned von Tirpitz’s whis
kers green?” said Fritz-on-IPa-
rade.
“His feet are gettin’ kind o’ cold,”,
the Pretzel Master said.
“Things goin’ wrong a bit with
Tirp?” said Fritz-on-Parade.
“You’ve struck it right; you’ve struck
it right,” the Pretzel Master said.
“They are bouncin’ Bob La Follette.
Old von Tirp was stuck on him.
He’s stood for all his rotten crimes
with vigor, verve and vim,
become the synonym,
And now his name for Dennis has
For they’re (bouncin’ Bob La Follette
in the mornin’."
“What makes the Crown Prince’s
chin stick out?” said Fritz-on-Pa
rade.
“It’s full o’ dread; it’s full o’ dread,”
the iPretzel Master said.
“I never seed the th.ng before." said
Fr.tz-on-Parade.
“No more did I; no more did I,’ the
Pretzel Master said.
‘But they’re bouncin’ Bob La Fol
lette, and I figure out the dope,
It’s gave His Roily Highness nasty
dreams of hempen rope,
For Bob’s Ibeen known for quite a
while as Freddy Hill’s White
Hope,
And they’re bouncin’ Bob La Follette
in the mornin’.”
“What makes von Bernstorff’s nose
so red?” said Fritz-on-Parade.
“His blowin' of it day and night,” the
Pretzel Master said.
"Has he the epizootiy too?” said Fritz-
on-Parade.
“He’s blowin’ off his extry tears,” the
Pretzel Master said.
“For they’re bouncin’ Bob La Fol
lette—he was Johann’s Badger
Chum.
They was thick as Kaiser Bill'am and
the Lord of Christendom,
And now their bloomin’ box o’ tricks
has gone to Kingdom Come
For they’re bouncin’ Bob La Follette
in the mornin’.”
—John Kendrick Bangs.
SHOP EARLY.
If you buy a Christmas present,
Buy it now 1
If it be for prince or peasant,
Buy it now!
Buy it early in November,
Or at least before December;
You’ll be glad if you rememlber—
Buy it now 1
Wh le the counters stretch before
you.
Buy it nowl
While there are no crowds tcf bore
you,
Buy it now 1
Buy before the air is stuffy,
Buy before the girls are huffy,
Buy while things are fresh and
fluffy—
Buy it nowl
Tarry not until tomorrow,
Buy it now!
Even though you have to borrow,
Buy it nowl
See that shop girls don’t have reason
To abhor the Christmas season;
Put a conscience, if you please, on—
Buy it now!

She: And when you’re away to the
war I want you to think of me each
evening at nine o’clock.
He: Make it n : ne-fifteen. can’t (you?
T’ve got to think of the girl up on
State Street at nine.
CHARLEY MORSE.
Charles W. Morse is doing such
good work building ships for the gov
ernment that Mr. Taft may now feel
better about having been fooled into
pardoning him.—iSpringfield Republi
can.
Taft probably saved Morse’s life.
It is no surprise to discover that it
was worth saving. To keep Morse
shut up in idleness was an economic
absurdity. All that was desirable was
to insure that he would work ethi
cally. He never was a swindler. He
never imposed on dupes by schemes
that wouldn’t work. His schemes did
work, and had a public value. He
was short of traili ng ip contempor
ary ethics just as Henry Ford is
short of training in history and some
other branches, but on the economic
side he was tip-top.
“The wrist-watch has done much
for our trade.”
“Where is your trade?”
“It is mainly in Afrca. Formerly
we couldn’t sell a native a watch be-
cmse he wore no pockets to carry
it in.”
—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Vis : tor: And do you find people
come in here during the wreck for
peace and meditation?
Sexton : Ay, s : r, that they do; why
I caught two of ’em in ’ere only last
week—Cassell’s Saturday Journal.
