NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
By C. Ldward Cone.
“Bard of the Kuskokwim.”
! As T sat on my bunk and listened
. | To the New Year’s pledges made
By the boys who are sadly doing
Time in the jail’s dun shade.
Said Bill, “Now, bo vs, if you listen
To me, I’ll say there’s no chance
! That again I shall ever tackle
The pitfalls of high finance.”
; Said Dick, “When I view the bright
lights,
’Twill be from a distance afar.”
Said Nick. ••When 1 tackle the free
lights,
, ’Twill be iu the next, world war.”
. Bob, Charlie, Ed, George and Henry,
in choruses now loudly proclaimed
I That among the mrt! ere of moonshine
They nevermore would be named.
j The rest of the gang insisted
Hereafter to make it a rule
To never be caught red-handed
In trying to ride the “mule.”
As 1 sat on my bunk and listened
To the pledges then bandied about,
I was sure in tny mind that we’d
keep ’em—
At least, until we get out!
