THE KICKER.
I'il hale In lie a kicker, ami fuss
anniml and beef; so many folks
ai*i' slicker than I hose who deal
in grief. I’d hate to be a-knoek
ing, and have the knocker's fame,
and spend my lifliine Idoeking
some fellow's useful game. In
every town and city the kicker
wields his useful jaw; it seems
a frightful pity he’s nol suppress
ed by law, that people cannot rally
around I he croaking jake, and
take him to an alley and burn him
at the stake. The kicker is con
tagious, like every other bore; his
arguments outrageous make oth
er people sore; he's like a rotten
apple that spoils the other fruit,
and so we all should grapple with
this condemned galoot. One kick
er in the village, who kicks with
might and main, is worse than
pest or pillage or suffragette cam
paign. One kicker in a hamlet
will flood the place with woe, as
when you see a dam let its muddy
waters llow. And yet we only
snicker or spring a feeble sneer
when we behold the kicker do
deadly damage here. We should
al once endeavor that kicker to
I surround, and lock him up forev er
tin the village pound.
