So now I am very tack-tick,
I work on de Traveau Publique;
An’ feue Madam Laflamme,
She makes de grande damme,
On de tirty dollar a weeque.
CIVILIZATION
There was a certain Heathen who knew not how benighted he was.
He knew naught of Honesty, of Virtue, of Charity, nor knew he of Modern Civilization and the benefits thereof.
And the Heathen was contented in his ignorance. He was satisfied with Enough and of the Standard Oil Company and its methods he wot not—at least, if he wotted, it is not so reported of him.
