PUTTING YOUR TOWN ON
THE MAP.
Pulling Against Each Other.
Two fool jackasses—say! get this
dope—
Were tied together with a piece of
rope.
Said one to the other, ‘“You come my
way
While I take a nibble from this new
mown hay.” ■
“I won’t!” said the other. ‘‘You come
with me,
For 1 too have some hay, vou see.”
So they got nowhere—just pawed up
dirt,
And oh, by Golly, that rope did hurt.
Pulling Together.
Then 'hey faced about, those stubborn
mules.
And said, ““We’re acting like human
fools.”
“Let’s pull together. I’ll go your way,
Then come with me and we’ll both eat
hay.”
Well, they ate their hay and liked it,
And swore to be comrades good and
true.
As the sun went down they were beard
to bray:
“Ah! this is the end of a perfect day.”
Now get this lesson; don’t, let it pass—
We must pull together, ’tis the only j
way
To put a town on the map, and put it
to stay. —Ex.
