MY' BUT IT S FIE ALLY DISGRAf They Fail to See Where tie Joke Comes In, The Anti-Tipping Bill. By JAMES J. MONTAGUE. I. L ONG live our gallant Congressmen, from Maine to MUsisiip. Who let their item right feet upon the taking of the tip. The mileage graft they get themielvei—viz., twenty cenU per mile— Which gives them ridei in-varnished can and takei them home in style. Of coune, it’i their great privilege; but they most itemly 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; i hey frank their furniture and cows and laundry through the mail. \tul no one dares their probity or motives to assail. But let a wicked waiter get a present of a dime. And Congress rises up en masse to bring the wretch to time. III. ’T 1 HE Congressman is privileged to sell hia stock of seed J 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 cotporate esteem. But. ah! He rises manfully and places his firm grip k pon 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! '-ut statesmen by example and by precept teach us all I o gather no gratuitiea if they, by chance, are small. I waiters got a thousand bucks for all the hash they slung, ^ < heir tips would thrive, their praise survive on every statesman's tongue. The Industrious Lawmaker. By JAMES J. MONTAGUE. N OW doth the busy statesman Improve each shining minute By opening the Treasury And blowing all there's in it. —Old Hong. I F you fancy that statesmen don't work for their pay—that their life is just grand, sweet song; If you think that they shirk Every semblance of Work. . Your fancy's remarkably wrong. t Of course, paltry things like thd' laws > people need Said statesmen are likely to slight. But you'll see them do biz With a vim and a whiz When there's money enough in sight. J UST whisper abroad through the Capitol's halls that a measure's about to go through. Providing for blowing the dear people's funds to the tune of a billion or two. And the lawmakers get In a furious sweat And a lather of laudable zeal To see that each one. When the dealing is done. Gets an ace and five kings in the deal. T HERE'S never a loafer in Senate or Howe; all swear - that their' work's a delight. The way they get busy Would make a frog dizzy When there's money enough in sight. The railroads may hash up their pas senger trains, and Congress makes never a peep; The trusts may take what They believe they have got. And the statesmen will placidly sleep. R YAN - and Belmont and genii! John D. continue to slug and to slam The poor populace In the usual place, ' And the lawgivers don't give a cent, But plan an assault On the Treasury vault, •And they'll labor from dawning till night; Till the busiest bee | Seems a sick thing to see. When there's money enough in sight. BRAGGO THE MONK? Ofytoffat. 1907. tor Awd*lcaa-Jouiw*M«a»te#r. He Discusses Snow Shovelling While His Wife Docs the Wort. Indian Territory Condenses.
