Show TRY IT YOURSELF FORAWHILE My friend, If tho world Isn't rolling along As Btnoothly, perhaps, ob It might; ''L If money Is scarco nnd business goes wrong, Though you rest not by day or by night, Don't envy tho men who have nothing to do, And can live In any old style. It Perhaps they would gladly change places wjth' ( you- " f Just try It yourself for a while! When you go home from the office at night -y' '" -w t To a houso that is calm and serene, "")'' To welcoming eyes and a glory of light, i " '-'" "" And a wlfo who Is proud as a queen. If you think thnt the children are quiet all day, That the baby does nothing but smile, And that keeping house Is a kind of a' play, -JuBt try It yourself for n while! If you think thnt the lawyer who sits nt his ease And gives you expensive advice Has only tho task of collecting his fees, And that every ono pays him his price; If you think ho can work when he pleases, nnd yet Ho dally increasing his pile, With never a reason to worry or fret Just try It yourself for n while! If you think that the doctor who comes now nnd then, To give you a pill when you're sick; "Two dollars a visit!" and "See you ngnlnl" Is doing a pretty smooth trick. If you think that his gloves and his automobile Are only for putting n Btyle, Thnt he cares not nt all how you look or feel-Just feel-Just try It yourself for a while! lf you think that the butcher who sells you his meat, And charges you all you can pay, Hob never a rival with whom to compete, t . - And Is storing his profits away; If you think that his apron hears never n throb Of a heart that Is empty ot guile; That the sighs of the poor are tho Joys of his Job JuBt try It yourself for awhile! Dellove mo my friend, you aro Just as well off, As tho man that you think has a cinch. For overy man's work, however you may scoff, Is work, when It comes to tho pinch, The Journoy of, life Is a hard one, at best, Hut mllo slips nwy Into mile, And Journeys must end, and their endings bring rest You shall try' It yourself after a while!
