She went to the joiner’s A coffin to buy, But she found that cremation Was not half so high.] [Illustration: She took a clean dish To buy them some trout, But the price was so “fishy” She came away without. She went to the ale-house To buy them some beer, But the cost of the drink Took away all the cheer.] [Illustration: She went to the tavern For white wine and red, But when she had priced it, She took water, instead. She went to the hatter’s To buy them a hat, But the things that were swell Made her pocket-book flat.] [Illustration: She went to the barber’s With wigs to display, She found nothing there But a high price “toupee.” She went to the fruiterer’s To buy them some fruit, But the figures had taken The aerial route.] [Illustration: She went to the tailor’s To buy them a coat, The tailor convinced her That she was the “goat.” She went to the cobbler’s To buy them some shoes, It was plain she must give To the tariff its dues. She went to the sempstress To buy them some linen, The cost plainly showed her She was in for a skinnin’. She went to the hosier’s To buy them some hose, He took what was left, Increasing her woes. The Dame made a curtsey, The Trusts made a bow; The Dame said, “Your servant.” The Trusts said “Kow-tow.”] [Illustration: Then Old Mother Hubbard Went back to the cupboard Where she had sought for a bone; And she said, “I declare, It will have to stay bare,” So the poor little children got none.] [Illustration: Little Simon met a Sly Man Going to Alaska; Says Little Simon to the Sly Man, “What is there, I ask you?” Says the Sly Man to Little Simon, “There’s copper there in plenty.” Says Little Simon to the Sly Man, “Of coppers I have many.” Little Simon had six brothers Who saw what there was in it; They sent the Sly Man to Alaska— Little Simon to the Senate.] [Illustration: Little G. P. Went to sea, In an open boat; The little boat bended— My story’s ended.] [Illustration: There was a fat man from St. Lou-ay, Sat trust-busting one sunshiny day; For the press he had naught, Though steel was his thought, Which vex’d the fat man from St. Lou-ay.] [Illustration: A dillar, a dollar A 12 o’clock scholar, We like the Senate’s gall; It’s coming now at 2 o’clock— Why does it come at all?] [Illustration: Jimmie Lloyd, a Congressman, Came back to Washington On Democratic victory feeling vain; He stepped in a patronage muddle, Like a Missouri toll-road puddle, And he swears he’ll ne’er do that again.] [Illustration: Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any pull? The Tariff Board is after the rates on Wool: Yes, we have stand-patters and the A. P. T. L., While presidential vetoes are doing very well.] [Illustration: Cabot and Murray each separately delve On their own little jobs ’till the clock strikes 12; Then up starts Cabot and looks far away, “Oh, brother Murray, we are both from Back Bay!” “Yes,” says Murray, choking, by stealth, “Until Adjournment—then each for himself.”] [Illustration: Old King Joe was a merry old soul, And a merry old soul was he; He called for his smoke, And his highball, too, And he called for his cronies three. And every crony had a very good hand, And a very fine hand had he; “Tweedle dee, tweedle dee,” said Old King Joe, “Oh, there’s none so rare as can compare With a stand-pat hand. Give me three.”] [Illustration: There was a man from New York Town, And he was wondrous wise; He raked in sheckles by the pound From trusts, and closed his eyes.

Up both got and home did trot, With sundry funny capers; Bill Barnes had the job to plaster their knobs, And keep it out of the papers.] [Illustration: Frankie Hitchcock went to sea, Heeding not my tearful plea; He’ll come back and marry me, Pretty Frankie Hitchcock. Frankie Hitchcock’s lean and fair, Combing down his yellow hair; Now he’s gone up in the air; Pretty Frankie Hitchcock.] [Illustration: Albert C. and Robert L. Resolved to have a battle, For Albert C. said Robert L. Had spoiled his nice new rattle. Just then came by a monstrous man, As big as a tar-barrel, Which frightened both the heroes so, They quite forgot their quarrel.] [Illustration: THE TARIFF’S LITTLE LAMB. (A Melodrama in Eight Stanzas.) The tariff had a little lamb, Its fleece was snowy white, It followed him around all day, And slept by him at night.] [Illustration: Once this little lamb was small, But now it is not so, For the tariff fed his little pet Until it had to grow.] [Illustration: To Congress it was brought one day; They tried to put it out, But they found the lamb was now a ram, Which had grown very stout.] [Illustration: The President was a little man; His face was bright, but red; And he had little hair upon His bald and shiny head.] [Illustration: And when he could not catch the lamb, He called upon the “regulars,” While “insurgents” chased it ’round the room, And made a dreadful noise.] [Illustration: And still it ran about the room, And did not seem to tire, Until the Democrats jumped in, And set the place on fire.] [Illustration: The bells then rang, the firemen came, But could not quench the fire; The poor lamb fled and hastened to The White House to expire.] [Illustration: When the tariff missed his little lamb, He raised a dreadful wail; Just then Mister Taft pulled it out, And saved it by the tail.] [Illustration: Ride a cock-horse to Manassas, of course, To see the great major when not on a horse; With braid on his shoulders and mud on his toes— These were only a few of his woes.] [Illustration: Moses Clapp killed a calf, Coe I. Crawford got the half; Bob La Follette got the head— Ring the bell, the calf is dead!] [Illustration: Jack Bourne passed the hat, And found the income lean; Walt Houser had been before, you see, And licked the platter clean.] [Illustration: We’ll sing you a chorus, About George W. Norris, And now my story’s begun. We’ll sing you another About Norris Brown (not his Brother), And now my story’s done.] [Illustration: Walter be nimble, Walter be quick, And settle Alaska With a big stick.] [Illustration: Bye, Billy, bunting, Daddy’s gone a-hunting, To get a little thicker skin, To wrap his Billy bunting in.] [Illustration: TO CONGRESS Men of words and not of deeds Are not just what this Congress needs; Although ’t has been a most popular place To talk one’s self black in the face.] COMMITTEE ON MENU AND SOUVENIR [Illustration] LEROY T.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™ Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org. Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws. The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org. This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
