WORKING FOR THE TRUST
An old friend— and a lady at that—is treated with a certain disregard of dignity by “The American,” of New York, which devotes much of its energies to attacking the trusts. In a sketch, “The Common People” is represented as the Maud Muller of Whittier’s well-known lines, while “The Trusts” are personified by the Judge, riding by the field. Beneath we read the following:— Maud Muller on a summer’s day Raked the meadows, sweet with hay. The Judge rode slowiv pavst the stile; His features wore a cneerful smile. “I like to see her work,” said he: “That hay will soon belong to mel” And sure enough, before the Fall, The Judge came round and swiped it all. Poor Maud remarked, with grief intense* “I’m glad lie didn’t- steal the fence I” Of all bad words, the very wust, Are these —“I’m working for the Trust!”
