LITTLE MR LITTLE.
Little Mr Little is a timid little man, [Whose, little life is ordered on a verymodest plan. Ho awns a little cottage, he runs a little shop, He hasn't any hankering to clamber to the top. H6 makes a little profit on the goods he has to sell, And when he seeks his little bed he sleeps exceeding well. Little Mr Little is a man you'd never note, His hat is five and something, and he wears a rusty coat. The trolly rush upsets him, he never ' gets a seat, _^ And half the leading men in town have trodden on his feet. But little children love him, though his clothes are .out of style, And dogs run out to meet him and wag their tails and smile. Of learning he has nothing, of talent not a spark, He doesn't own one quality commanding of remark With mind too small for envy or pride or guile or greed, This little Mr Little is a funny sort, indeed And yet the best of friends he has! In every block are scores, For little Mr Little's heart is big as all outdoors. —Newark Evening News.
