Don't be stingy about the drool.
Dip it freely and pour it in;
Hand 'em the hokum.'old thing, and you'll
Sit at the table with those who win.
Gush and twaddle and sobs aud sighs,
These witli platitudes deftly mix ;
Then get into the game, and rise
Lightly and swiftly in politics.
Don't you care what the wise may say;
"Home and mother,” and all that stuff—
Hand it out in the good old way.
And your path you'll find, will be smooth
enough.
Mush and twaddle and drool and gush!
Critics go wild and tear their hair.
But the heartstring-pullers are sitting ou
plush
Far from trouble and free from care.
Go it, brother, get on the job;
Drooling sentiment has the call;
People are eager to sigh and sob.
And it may be good for 'em, after all.
TOUGH ON TEACHER
(San Francisco Chronicle)
The rural school teacher who boards with
the farmer's family will have to do her own
cooking or go hungry. The automobile has
made it pretty hard going for the mistress
of the little red school house. Time was
when the family that housed the school
mar'm considered itself honored and every
member danced attendance on the little lady
whom the district hired to teach the young
idea how to shoot. She had twenty-one
meals a week prepared for her and had the
best room in the house. She still has the
best room, but the meals—she has to be
content with "pot-luck” or cook her own.
