(To tlie dwellers in the House-of-Have,
-who have kindly explained -'that
the unrest and discontent in the House-of-Want
4s due to "too much prosper
ity," these lines are respectfully ded
icated.) What's gone wrong with the child in
the mill.
The child in the shop, the breaker
and mine?
iWhy do the fat little things look ill?
They are bloated with top much food
aiid wine.
Too much prosperity, too much
sleep!
What's the matter with women and
men
Ten million, they say, on starvation
line,
. Well housed in their splendid tenement
pen,
Witli nothing to do but guzzle and
dine?
Too much prosperity, too good
times!
What's the cause of this cry of dis
tress That goes from poverty up to God?
The poor waste riches on jewels and
dress;
They wallow in wealth and they
hoard their wad
Too, much prosperity, too few
- wants!
What is amiss with the one per cent
Who've ninety per cent of the na
.. tion's, wealth?
.Why, they want the rest, in profit and
,k irent; '. .,...,,
They are not in business just for
, .., health,
.But for prosperity for the ,one.
What seems "ailing with .most of . us -You
and,. me and the other cuss?
Top : .short, hours and top much play,
Too- ltftle, work" ana. to.Q.iuuch, pay,
Too few pauperis and millionaire's.,
Too few grafters and bulls, and bears,
Top much gold in our golden bricks, ,
Too much honor in politics.
Too few rats' in the ship of state,
Too much love and too little hate,
Too much charity, justice, truth,
Too much care for old age and youth,
Too few warships, too many schools,
Too many wise men, too few fools,
Too liiuch leisure and joy, and well,
Too much heaven, too little hell,
Too much prosperity for us all!

"TOO MUCH PROSPERITY"

WIT IN OVERALLS
Said the speaker at a lawyer's din
ner: "Wo lawyers couldn't do better
than to resolve in the new year to be
gentler in our cross-examinations.
Rudeness in cross-examination never,
never pays. This is a truth that I
once saw proved in a damage suit. In
this suit a cross-examining lawyer
shouted at a witness in overalls: 'You,
there,, in the overalls, how much arc
you paid for telling untruths?' 'Less
than you are,' the witness retorted,
'or you'd be in overalls, too.' "-Kan-sas

York said to him one day:
"By the way, your front gate needs
repairing. It was all I could do to
got it open. ,You ought to have it
trimmed, or greased, or something.
"Oh, no," he said. "Oh, no."
"Why not?" asked the visitor.
"Because," was the reply, "every
one who comes through the gate
pumps two buckets of water into the
tank on the roof." New Orleans Picayune.

RICH NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand, the land where there
is neither pauper nor millionaire,
seems to be prospering under the most
"advanced" system of laws enforced

blegram the following statistics for

Population, 909,000; value of im
