THE BUSINESS MAN
He was getting Monte front business,
He, a merchant, well to da.
The wheels of the electric car
Were throwing sparks of blue.
Around him were acquaintances
'Who either stood or sat.
By look or word or jesture.
Were inviting to a chat.
But quite ignoring all of them,
Except to bow or smile.
To some one who had entered,
Or just across the aisle.
He read the neatly printed para-

Of the little country sheet
That crops are looking good,
Andy Brown came to town.
And brought a load of wood.
He read of Silas Green's enterprise,
In adding to his barn,
And Billy Williams,
Has bought another farm.
