BEYOND THE PALE.
BY BERTON · BRALEY.
I try to love my fellow man, I do in all sincerity
And it is very seldom that I fail,
I know that I have every need for tolerance and charity.
And other folks are similarly frail
I can forgive a lot of things, from forgery to homicide;
Most avery sin that history reveals?”"
Bat there's one sort of criminal who brushes all my calm aside-- The bird who wields a toothpick after meals
I can forgive some guys who live a life of deep depravity,
But not the goof who proben in every tooth;
Who tries to trace within his face the locus of a cavity
He drives me to insanity in truth i
I know that I havo faults galore too many ta bo numbering-
So I cannot be barsh upon a sinner;
But niz upon the sort of man who mixes meals with-lumbering The bird who wields a toothpick after dinner 1
