A TALE FOR THE TIMES.

Finding telegraphy was all

His son had learned from Alma Mater,

He proved as vengeful as Iago,

And Tom is clerking in Chicago.

And so I hate thee, telegraph!

Of madness being on the border.

Thy click, click, click, when working well;

Thy clank, clank, clank, when out of order!

Traitor! ah, well may I berate thee!

Once more, and finally, I hate thee!

C. A. M.
