Filteen Years Ago. s Ho iden in Globe-Democrat..) . dered to the grogshop, Tom: wa n the bar, 1st (lUv 4 beside bowl of lemonade and bad cigar; < > Id kegs and jugs were —the ones we used to know were on the round-up, me fifteen years ago. baflheep is a new one, Tom. 'he who used to sell Xhe dtv& ive tanglefoot to us is roast "brros • in—well, ing now other has a plate-glass front; ir is combed cjuite low, like the one we knew so me fifteen years ago. Old Soak came up and called for booze . be had the same old grin, While others burned the lining from their throats with Holland gm. beside door, And women stood the their faces seamed with woe, And wept just as they used to weep some fifteen years ;uro. o I as sked about our old friends, those cherished sporty men; A„d some were in the poor house, Tom, and some were in the pen; And one,the one we liked the best, the hangman laid him low, The world is much the same, dear Tom, as fifteen years ago. I asked about that stately chap, That. pride marked as its own. He used to say that he could drink. or let the stuff alone; He perished of the James H.Jams, out in the cold and snow— Ah, few survive who used to booze some fifteen years ago. Xow crowds line up against the bar and call for crimson ink; New hands are tremblin o* - as they pour the stuff they shouldn’t drink; But still the same old watchword rings, l ir This round’s on me, you know ! ’ ’ The same old cry of doom we heard some fifteen years ago. * 1 wandered to the churchyard, Tom, and there I saw the graves Of those who used to drown them sfives in red, fermented waves; And there were women sleeping there where grass and daisies grow, Who wept and died of broken hearts some fifteen years ago. There were graves where children slept, have slept for many a year. Forgerful of the woes that marked their fitful sojourn here; And ’neath a tail, white monu ment, in death there lieth low The man who used to sell the booze some fifteen years ago. An exchange says: a Those of us who have been there can ap preciate this: u When you report yourself sick as late as Thursday or Fri day you should, in justice to the editor, remain sick at least until the paper is in the post office. It is terribly embarrass ing to say that Air. and Mrs. Geewliilikens is dangerously sick as we go to press and then while lugging the papers to the postoffice meet the said party on the street looking well.
