WELL PLAYED, SIR JOSEPH
A spectacular i ‘ come-back; 7 ’ ißiv Joseph staged! All! Where arc the critics who called him aged? In the forefront of battle- the veteran stands,— For office is better* than .grafting of glands As a mode of rejuvenation!
He isn't so young ns years agono, Wlion the Liberal aim at its zenith
shone; But his seventy millions wo couldn't
resist — And we hope that our names are all down on his list, When lie puts it in ■circulation!
There's many a man, :in his seventh decade, Has a sterling part asf a statesman played; And the reason the reefent ■Cabinet fell Was really the youth of its, personnel — Too boyish for wise legislation!
The Honourable Cordon (the best of chaps) May learn from Sir Joseph, this less'on, perhaps:— "For office more fit, with.’ each year left behind"! And in this sage maxim Reformars may find Comfort and consolation!
The Uniteds are talcing an even bet That their leader will see out his century yet! Parliamentary members, of ev’ry complexion, Bow low to the verdict of famous election — Am\ join in iSir Joseph's ovation! —Clifford B, Holmes.
