DIVIDED ALLEGIANCE.

Well, Sir, I have kept you a long time, and there's a great deal I have not told you after all; but you have perhaps heard enough to judge whether my Show deserves wholesale condemnation, For my part I cannot help thinking that the providing thousands of people with exactly the entertainment and amusement they like and can understand is not a business to be ashamed of.


Divided Allegiance.


My Love is beautiful as day—
My Love is very fair:
The gold gleam of the sunset ray
Has nestled in Her hair.
The gold that in the Sun is set
Is all the gold that She will get;
I love her well. But yet. . . . . .but yet. . . . . .

My Round Rupee is greasy, dim—
More light than He should be;
Some bunnia must have "sweated" Him
Before He came to me.
All things that 'neath the Sun are set
I know my round Rupee can get;
I love Him well. But yet. . . . . .but yet. . . . . .
