L ONG live our gallant Congressmen, from Maine to Miuiuip, Who set their stem right feet upon the taking of the tip. The mileage graft they get themselves—viz., twenty cents per mile— Which gives them rides in varnished can and takes them home in style. Of course, it’s their great privilege; but they most sternly frown On all the sinful perquisites the waiten would draw down. II. T HE Congressmen by right of might get discounts by the score On everything they purchase in the House department store; They frank their furniture and cows and laundry through the mail. And no one darea their probity or motives to assail. But let a wicked waiter gel a present of a dime. And Congress rises up en masse to bring the wretch to time. III. T HE Congressman is privileged to sell his st6ck of seed To any one who has the price to serve his present need; With tense and tender gratitude his eyes are oft a-gleam At some large testimonial of corporate esteem. But, ah I He rises manfully and places his firm grip Upon the sordid waiter who dares take a ten-cent tip. IV. D OWN' with the evil waiters who would take a recompense For their devoted services of ten or twenty cents! Our statesmen by example and by precept teach us all To gather no gratuities if they, by chance, are small, il waiters got a thousand bucks for all the hash they slung. Their tipa would thrive, their praise survive on every statesmen's tongue. This Wonderful Country. In Millions of tons Iks eatlmsttd prndoe- Ion of pis Iron list »iir la tb. Unlr.it Htatot.
