Show THE GAY LIFE. He hurries every morning to catch a certain car; He goes to work where hundreds of other toilers are; His course is never varied; he has no time to stray; The route that is the shortest he takes day after day; ' Ho works upon a schedule that changes not at all In winter or in summer in springtime or in fall. j He starts In every morning, juBt as he did before, I To do a certain duty and never any more; 1 Ho has his thirty minutes at noon I to rest and eat, And when the day is ended he hurries hur-ries to the street To start his journey homeward, night after night the same, ! Jammed in with other people who do notjnow his name. Ho does not know his neighbors, to them ho is unknown; Beyond hiB little orbit his face Is never shown; t He hurries every morning to catch a certain car; I At night he clings where other sad- I faced straphangers are, I And wonders how the people exist J out on the farms, Doprivod of social pleasures and all , the city's charms.
