The Forum
As the gray morning broke,
The Pup, having fed
On a roller and bone,
Took my coat for a bet.
Yelled I, “Scum of creation,
Your black hands are tainted
With murder and thievery!”
As ten women fainted.
I went out of doors
And looked up at the moon
And the stars, where they print
Thé Celestial Tribune.
Then I flopped down to sleep
Off my own weariness
On a pile of old papers
Right back of the press.
They cried, “Ghosts! Murder!
Thieves!”
As I stepped up before them,
With a club in my hand
I kept swinging o’er them.
I longed to be there
Where the white presses run
By a belt of bright stars
That circle the sun.
The paper they use
Is spun from the dawn
By the shutteling sun,
Dropping dew on my lawn.
[ snapped on a light,
Then, with a loud wail,
'n bounded a dog
With a can to his Jail.

Then I said to myself,
Oh, what is the use
To toil as I toil
To be paid in abuse?
The news of the angels
Is all that they print

PART ONE
Who pay in advance,
The Arrival of the Pup—
A printer in Heaven
Oh, listen, my lads,
Might have half a chance.
With your ears up,
I thought of old friends
Of this wonderful tale
Promoted from here
Of Our Oifice Pup!
To the Tribune above,
i’ll never forget it—
Without shedding a tear.
That cold, blustery night,
Phen I thought of my lot
He blew into my sanctum,
With my old squeaky press
A terrible sight.
v'ith its rattle and bang
The Banner was printed,
And black, inky mess.
And, weary and cross,
,’m tiled of it all
I sat down at my desk
And I’ll end it right now,
To check up my loss.
Said I, stepping inside,
I scanned the long columns
And it matters not how.
With shivery and shakes,
I turned out the light
Gripped tight in the nightmare
And started to grope
Of all my mistakes.
kround in the dark
I searched through my pockets,
For a rafter and rope.
More holey than whole,
stood up on a stool
For a dime to buy soup
And looped the noose o’er
To cheer my old soul.
Vly head, when a racket
I longed for some soup,
Broke loose at the door.
* was hungry as sin,
1 threw off my necklace,
The paper was out
Leaped down to the floor
And I was all in.
from my rickety stool
And jerked open the door.

le was furiously frightened,
He leaped and he sprang
knd howled while the tin can
Went bangety-bang.
Type, ink, paste and plaster,
Forms, presses and pi
Got mixed in the scuffle
And started to fly.
For breaking my door
I vowed I would lick ’em,
And as Rags leapTd and snarled,
I yelled, “Sickem, boy, sickem!"
PART THREE
The Editor Enlists the Office Pup “You’ve ruined my office,
And for this rash caper,
In the Work of Making the Town
Pay Up
Step forth, everyone
It was dark when I ’rose from
My hard paper pallet
By a noise at the door
Like the beat of a mallet.
They rushed at the door
But its trusty lock weathered
The assault of the crowd
That before it had gathered.
And renew the home paper.”
Each one paid his subscription
And groaned, “Oh, oh, dear,
for the POKE CENTER BANNER—
One fifty a year.”

FOWLERS ENTERTAIN;

Still hiding and harking,

Clamping tight to the Pup
tained Mr and Mrs. Chris Fowler
To keep him from harking.
Then I said to myself,
Hear them talk without thinking.
When a woman’s voice shrieked,
“The outcome of drinkink!”
No one said they owed me
And it ’stoo late to settle
As I searched through my pockets
All empty of metal.
Get a battering-ram!
A bold voice suggested.
I’ll admit, by this time,
My wits were sore tested.
I slipped out the back door
As the crowd made its sally,
Leading Rags by a rope
I ran fast down the alley.
Then right into the street
Where the crowd was assembled,
I approached unconcerned,
While I inwardly trembled.

And we guarantee to send just what you ask

Then I lived for a moment
A lifetime of winters
As their battering ram
Broke my front door to splinters.

There I caught him, at last!
When I sized the cur up,
I said to the Devil,
He’s a born Office Pup.
I stroked the poor Pup,
My zace wore a grin;
The Banner was out
And I was all in.
PART TWO
Poor Old Rag» I» Washed Up and
Fed
Then Take» the Editor’. Coat for
a Bed
From the end of his nose
To the tip of his tail
That poor Pup dripped black ink
Like a leaky old pail.
He shook and he shivered,
He was boney and thin
With his tongue hanging out
And drooped tail turning in.
His stomach was shriveled
And clung to his spine.
He looked very much like
He needed to dine.
A black mess was his hair,
With large chunks pulled out,
As if twenty old tomcats
Had put him to rout.
He licked out the pastepot
That stood on the floor
Then gnawed an ink roller
Clean down to the core.
I set in to wash him—
It took the whole night
And barrels of water
To make that pup white.
Such rubbing and scrubbing
He had to endure,
While drowned fleas-and soapsuds
‘Most stopped up the sewer.
And while he was drying,
He sniffed ’round the room
For the scent of a cat—
A dog’s rarest perfume

Then the Devil tacked up
My old gag sign again,
That “THE EDITOR’S OUT!”,
And the town talked like sin.

I raced and I chased him,
Till, quick as a wink,
He fell into a barrel
Of Black Diamond Ink.
The Devil came in then,
■ As usual—late—
He emptied the ashes
And shook down the grate.
