WHAT HE GOT OUT OF IT.
He never took a day of rest, He couldn’t afford it; He never had his trousers pressed, He couldn’t afford it; He never went away, care-free, To visit distant lands, to see How fair a place this world might be — He couldn’t afford it. He never went to see a play, He couldn’t afford it; His love for at he put away, He couldn’t afford it. He died and left his heirs a lot, But no tall shaft proclaims the spot In which he lies —his children thought They couldn’t afford it. —“ Chicago Record-Herald.’
