THE BUNGLER.
According to my point of view,
I think that little Cupid.
Instead of being sm art and bright.
Is often rather stupid.
H is work [it tim es Is very coarse—
A thing of shreds and patches.
Not workmanlike. Just judging from
Some sam ples of his matches.
Som etim es he takes a man and maid
And ties them with his tether
W ho make a m ost 111 sorted team
And do not pull together,
But there they are hitched up for Ilfs
And doomed to fret and Jangle
And make what should be happiness
A m ost distressing tangle.
Ho takes a little artless girl.
Of knights and heroes dreaming.
And ties her to some chilly chap
Designed for plots and scheming.
W hereas, had she but turned him dowr
And wed the other fellow.
H er life had been one long,
dream
Of sunshine soft and mellow.
W hile Cupid som etim es hits It off
In dealing love and kisses.
'Tis frightful when you think a t* u t
The many tim es he misses.
I think that he should abdicate
At least one trial season
And turn his business over to
Som e person blessed w ith reason.
Knew the Place.
“ Ho, waiter!** called the traveling

“ Com e back a minute. I forgot to tell
you to have the germ s fried. The last
time I w a s here they w ere boiled, and
I like the flavor better the other way.**
“ A in 't no germ s oo de bill, suh,” re
plied the waiter.
“ Perhaps you don’t see them, but I
can read between the lines.**
