Mr. Elder MacNab. "Wha-at, Man, gie up Gowf?"

Mr. Meenister MacGlucky. "Nae, nae! Gie up the Meenistry!"


A PSALM OF (HOLIDAY) LIFE.

What the heart of the Small Boy said to the Dyspeptic Pessimist.

Yule is a dyspeptic dream,

A tradition that but cumbers

What smugs call "the social scheme."

Yule is jolly, Yule is earnest!
