The Chicago news¬ paper men have a club named for the brilliant writer and this is its creed: I've noticed when a fellow dies, no matter what he’s been— A saintly chap or one whose life was darkly steeped in sin— His friends forget the bitter words they spoke but yesterday, And now they find a multitude of pretty things to say. I fancy when I go to rest some one will bring to light j Some buried kindly word of sight; or goodly act long out But if it’s all the same to you, just give to me instead, The bouquet while I‘m living and the knocking when I’m dead. Don’t save your kisses to imprint up on my marble brow, While countless malediction are bur¬ ied upon me now; Say just one kindly word to me while I mourn here alone And don’t save all your eulogy to carve upon a stone! What do I care if when I’m dead the Boomingdale Gazette, Gives me a write-up and a cut in mourning borders set; I It will not flatter me a bit, no matter what is said. So kindly throw your bouquets now and knock me when I’m dead. I It may be fine, when one is dead to have the folks talk so, , To have the flowers come in loads from relatives you know; It may be nice to have these things for those you leave behind, I But just as far as I’m concerned, I really do not mind. I’m quite alive and well today, and while I linger here Lend me a helping hand at times— give me a word of cheer, Just change the game a little bit; just kindly swab the decks, For I will be no judge of flowers when I cash in my checks.
