Try Anything Once

There was a man who .fancied that 'oy driving good and last He'd get his car across the track boloro the train caino past. He'd miss tho engine by an inch, and make tho train hands sore. There was a mau who laueied this; there isn't any more. There was a man who thought that ho could win a little bet . By quenching in some gasoline a lighted cigarotto. He thought the fluid, being wet, would douse tho flames somehow. There was a. man who reasoned thus Ho is not with us now. There was a man, once on a time, who confidently sworo That he'd jump off the Brooklyn Bridge and calmly swim to shore. Ho said the thrill that he would get Would prove extremely pleasant There was a man who held these views. There isn't at tlie present. Thero was a man who, to his friends. ! would frequently declare That ho would strangle with his hands 1 a hungry grizzly bear He spoke of hungry grizzlies with a fascinating sneer. A man like this there was; but now he's gone away iroiu here. --"New York American,''
