Dig in! The Plaint of a Merry Pessimist When you Want to get ahead, Dig in When you're up to work you dread, Dig in When Dame Care comes down your way, Days are sad, instead of gay, When there's nothing seems to pay, NVhen the other fellow leads, When you're short on things you When the rent is overdue, And the landlord says he'11 sue- And the world is looking blue, Never mind the other man, You can Win, you know you can, Better luck will come your way, just make up your mind to stay ' Every dog will have his day Q I Dig in Dig in need, Dig in Dig in Dig in Dig in Dig in Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food, Nothing to wear but clothes To keep one from going nude. Nothing to breathe but air, Quick as a flash 'tis gone , Nowhere to fall but off, Nowhere to stand but on. Nothing to comb but hair, Nowhere to sleep but in bed, Nothing to weep but tears, Nothing to bury but dead. Nothing to strike but a gait, Everything moves that goes, Nothing at all but commonsense Can ever withstand these woes

Dr. B.-Well, I was just going to state when I left you to answer the telephone, that we had better leave that tooth alone until day after to-morrow. Ethel-Say, Ralph, who was the woman. QAsidej- Now, I'll End out. Dr. B.-The woman. Why, what woman? Ethel-The one at the telephone, stupid. Dr. B. Qasidej-Ah, ha! I see, she's jealous. I'll keep her guessing.
