No. 7. THE ECCENTRIG BILLER.
\\
'HKN Hector McCluskey McDonaldson Brown First came to our part of the town
He boasted i>< 'd capture the people by storm. And it must be admitted it made us feel warm To observe the peculiar prank's Ik d perform With quadrant, six sheeter or crown. He pasted a daybill on private front doors And then as a matter of course
Distributed passes to
all as he strode And caused some
surprise by his
curious mode Of fastening bills on
the flags in the
road And one on the
chest of a horse. He posted all day in
the snow and the
rain, He seemed to have
bills on the brain. At last with a maniac
glare in his eye
He mounted a ladder some forty feet high With the object of sticking a bill on sky So the doctors declared him insane. They sent him away his poor reason to save To a place where they make you behave. One day in a fit of excitement he cried "I'm going to bill my own body — inside !" Then he swallowed two daybills and instantly died And get a free pass to the grave !
