Show A CLUBMAN OUT OF LUCK. By J. W. Foley. I Head of the "Down and Out" club; one of the "Has Been' lads; , Ancient Order of "Too Lates;" one of the "Might Have Hads;" Boss of the "Had and Spent Its;" Knight of the "Lost His Grips;" Head of the "If I'd Onlys;" one of the "Let 'er Rips;" I Chief of the "Oh It's Earlys;" one of ' the "Never Frets;" Past Grand High Commander of the ' Order of "Don't Go Yets;" Knight of the "Used to Own a's" lost it all somehow; Prince of the "Have Anothers" he's on his uppers now. i Member of many orders: "Live as You Go Alongs;" "Plenty More Where It Come Froms;" "Give Us Another Songs;" "Say But I Heard a Good Ones;" "Comrades" and "I O U's;" "Sit in For Just a Minutes;" "Smoko Ups" and "Had a Fews;" One of the "Dad will Settles;" Priest f the "After a Whiles;" Chief of the "Anti-Pikers;" Knight of the "Have a f nlles;" i I I i ., Lord of the "I Insist" club;" things are all changed somehow; All of his friends have left him he's on his uppers now. Fellow of many orders yes, and disorders dis-orders too; Head of the "Down and Out" club seedy, and rather blue; Seem3 to have lost his trolley; don't know which way to turn; Sort of a living lesson for somebody else to learn. Well, here's a life, poor devil, come in and have a bite; Price of a shave and lodging; it's tough to be broke at night; He used to have friends by the hundreds - today he's alone somehow; The way of the world, I reckon he's on his uppers now.
