He’d Money In The Bank
They sat around the red-hot stove,
In Smithson’s country store,
And boasted of the -money,-they
Had made in days of yore;
And if the tales they told were true,
’Tis 'certain each man there,
By saving part of wliat he’d made,
Must bo a millionaire.
Then Uncle Billy Branson spoke,
"And said, “Now, all you boys
Hev spilt some mighty hefty talk,
An’ made a lot 0’ noise.
’Bout what ye’ve done, an ’ I allow
It listens fine an’ brave,
But wliat I want to ask, is this:
How much did you all save?”
Now Uncle Billy knew that bunch;
He knew their iqoney went
As fast a% it- was-earned, and knew
They never saved a cent.
He knew, because, for years and years,
When they. wcre'broke or ill,
Or otherwise in need of cash,
—They’d galled on Uncle Billi ‘---------
S'
And Uncle Bill had plugged along,
Not making-very much—
Butter and eggs and garden sass,
And raising pigs, and such;
Folks called him ‘tight’ and ‘miserly,’
And voted him a ‘crank,’
But when the rest of them were broke,
He’d money in the bank!

Fort Dearborn Alagazine.
