Text Appearing Before Image:
sculptors waltzed into the pile,Swingin their chisels in circles and lines,Carvin the stone work in fancy designs;Some favored animals—tigers and snakes;Some favored cookery—doughnuts and cakes.Till the whole mansion wuz crusted with orn- ments.Cellar to garret with hammam adornments— Lettuce and onions, Cupids and bunions,Fowls o the air and the fish 0 the deep. Mermaids and dragons. Horses and wagons—Isnt no wonder the neighbors cant sleep ! Senator Copper, with pardnable pride,Showed the grand house where he planned to abide;Full of emotion, he scarcely could speak; Cant find Its like in Noo York—its uneek! 40 AT THE SIGN OF THE DOLLAR See the variety, size, and alignment,Showin the owner has wealth and refinement,Showin hes one o the tonier classes—Who can help seein my house when hepasses? Windows that stare at you, Statoos that swear at you,Steeples and weather-vanes polntin aloof; Nuthin can beat it— Jest to complete itGuess Ill stick gold-leaf all over the roof 1
Text Appearing After Image:
how, SEZ the senator, can I LOOK PROUDEST?BUILD ME A HOUSE THATLL HOLLER THE LOUDEST? THE INNOCENTS Says Mr. Armour, as he makes A famine rate on stews and steaks, * Theres doubtless truth in what you say, That evil Trusts exist to-day. But kindly note before you go. There is no Beef Trust—mercy, no 1 Says Mr. Rogers, as he signsDeath-warrants for competing mines, I heartily agree with youThat unfair combinations doA deal of nasty mischief—butThere is no Copper Trust—tut-tut! With fresh foreclosures in his hands The saintly Rockefeller stands. These mergers, when unchecked, he sighs, I have no doubt demoralize; But Sin will Retribution bring— An Oil Trust? Nonsense—no such thing! While prices rise on anthracite,Says Mr. Baer, It Isnt rightTo make the tolling public bleedFor the commodities they need.Cases like these the laws should fit—A Coal Trust? Never heard of It! 41 42 AT THE SIGN OF THE DOLLAR Says Mr. Satan, as he drawsHis fiery trident through his claws,The world,
