BRICK BATS.
Last year a guy named Ellis Black
was full of pep and glee; he thought
that he was on the track of fortune’s
shifty key. He planned to have ten
thousand bucks in nineteen-twenty
eight; they'd have to haul his cash in
trucks and ship it round by freight.
His plans were simple, also few;
they’d work as sure as fate; so Silas,
far from feeling blue, was certain he’d
be great. But clouds of woe loomed in
his sky, the markets all went flat and
left his holdings high and dry, not
worth a last year’s hat. Besides he
plumb forgot the rent, the taxes, coal
ami ice, the cash that always must be
spent for beefsteak, cheese and rice.
So now instead of being rich, with
wads of iilthy kale, he’s lying pros
I rate in thy ditch, beside life’s tough
old trail/ Of such are dreams of mor
j uil man, who sees a star of hope; he
| thinks he has a winning plan but
I here’s a little dope that trickles up
from wisdom's fount, w'hich all us
folks should catch—it never pays to
try to count our chickens before they
hatch.—Brick Smith,
