Traffic Club noere deliqhtcd at a recent rrooj~ ~irccti~lq whcti Professor Gcor,qc. Il IYiln~r, of the University of Wichita, rend Striclzland Gilillnrc's fawmu florin, "Fir~nigalt to Flnr~rzaga~i". Cli# this o14t orld paste it on the wall! Superintindent wuz Flannagan, Boss of the siction was Finnigin; And whinever the cyars got offen the thrack, And muddled up things to the divil and back, Thin Finnigin writ to Flanna,:an, After the cyars had gone on agin; That is, this Finnigin repoorted to Flannagan. Whin Finnigin first writ to Flanna- gall, He writ tin pages, did Finnigin; And he taold just how the wrick oc- curred, Pull many a tajous, blinderin' word Did Finnigin write to Flannagan. After the wrick was all on aqain. That was how Finnigin repoorted to Flannagan. Now, Flannagan knowed more than Finnigin, He's more iducation had Flannagan, And it wore him clane and complate- ly out To tell what Mnnigin writ about, In his writin' to Mister Flannagan; , And he mrited this here back to Fin- nigan : "Don't do such a sin again, Make 'em brief, Finnigin." Whin Finnigin got this from Flan- nagan, He blushed rosy red, did Finnigin, And he said, "I'll gamble a whole month's pay That it '11 be miny and miny a day Befoore Superintindent, that's Flan- nagan, Gits a whack at this very same sin again. From Finnigin to Flannagan, Re~oorts won't belong agin." One day on the siction of Finnigin, On the road superintinded by Flan- nagan, A rail gave 'way on a bit of a curve And some wars wint off as they made the swerve. "Thcre's nobody hurted," says Finni- gin ; "But repoorts must be made to Flan- nagan." And he winked at McGorrigan, As married a Finnigin. He was shantyin thin, was Finnigin, As many a railroader's bin agin, And the shmokey old lamp wuz burn- in' bright In Finnigin's shanty all that night. Bilin' down his repoort was Finnigin, And he writed this here back to Flannagan: "Off agin, on agin, Cone agin, Finnigin." LOOKING FORWARD Don't be what you ain't- Just be what you is, 'Cause if you is not what you am, Den you am not what you is. If you is jes' a little tadpole, Don't try to be a frog; If you is jes' de tail, Don't try to be de dog. You can always pass de plate If you can't exhort and preach, If you is jes' a pebble, Don't try to be de beach. Don't be what you ain't- .Jes' be what you is. 'Cause the man that plays it square, Am gwine to get his. It ain't what you is has becn- It's what you now am is. (Bib Recorder)
