WHAT FATHER SAYS

"WHEN THE PAPER DOESN'T COME. My father says the paper he reads ain't put up right; He finds .a lot of fault too he does, perusin' it all night; He says there ain't a single thing in it worth to.read. \ And that it doesn't print the kind of stuff the people need; He tosses it aside and says it is no use to him. But you ought to hear him holler When the paper doesn't come.

He reads about the weddin's and he shorts like all.get out; He reads the social doin's with a most derisive shout. He says they make the paper for the women folk alone; He'll read about the parties and he'll fume and fret and groan; He says of information, it doesn't have a crumb, But you ought to hear him holler when the paper doesn't come.

He is the first one to grab it, and he reads it plumb clean through; < He doesn't miss a,n item, or a want is true; He says they don't know what, we want the darn newspaper guys, "I'm going to take a day some time and go and put 'em wise; Sometimes it seems as though they must toe deaf and blind and dumb." Bill you ought to hear him holler When the paper doesn't come. —From Benson (Neb.) Times, Author Anonymous.
