t What Yon Yonson Thinks 1 



Peter vent to sellebrate, 

 To have some fun, " dats all." 



But, Oh ! he met an awlul fate — 

 Now he don't vas here a toll. 



He tak a drink of rotten visky, 



His hed begin to krack ; 

 He start to cross da raleroad — 



Da train vas on da track. 



His hed vas got so dissy 



He don't vas can look out. 

 Da train run over Peter, 



An' poor Peter petered out. 



Unkle Sam he got da mony 



Vat vas paid da rite to mak 

 A drunkard of poor Peter, 



An a precious life to tak ; 



An it all vas done for money. 



To mak somebody grate. 

 I vish dat Peter stayed at hom, 



An' don't vas sellebrate. 



Vel, you no Peter Peterson, he had awful 

 bad luck. Peter vas awful good feller, but 

 he had a awful bad folt— he lak visky. 



Last fort of Juli he vent to sellybrate, an 

 he tak on som visky. an purty soon he don't 

 know if he vas Peter or sombody else. An' 

 ven he start to kross da ralerode trak da trane 

 run aganst him, an now it don't vas any more 

 Peter. 



But Peter don't vas alone to blame. Da 

 saloon keeper vat sel Peter da visky, he is da 

 feller vat kill Peter. But dom don't goan to 

 hang da saloon keeper, cans Unkle Sam he 

 sell da saloon keeper licens to kill people po 

 das vay. Old "Unkle Sam " he git fat vid 

 mony from da saloOn keepers, and da saloon 

 keepers dom git fat vid mony from da fellers 

 vat bi da visky, but da fellers vat bi da visky 

 dom git netting but snakes in der boots and 

 vheels in deir hed, vat run round so fast dom 

 sure to run to da bad. 



But " Unkel Sam " an da saloon keeper is 

 da fellers vat is to blame. " Unkel " he got 

 law vat say dom can't sell to any body vat is 

 known to be in da habit of gettin' drunk, but 

 dat is yust da kind of fellers vat dom sell to. 

 Ay gess Unkel is gitten kind of old and 

 childish. My goodnes, he mite no dom git 

 drunk ven dom tak on visky, so das da vay it 

 goes. Da people all time vont more laws, and 

 dom don't can use vat dom got. If Peter had 

 run over some body den dom vould 'rest 

 Peter; but Unkel and da saloon keeper vat is 

 da cans of it all dom go free, and git deirs 

 pocket full of mony besides, and da people 

 dom holler, Hurrah for da grand old parlies 

 and Ole Unkel Sam ! An purty soon if da 

 peoples don't votch out, old " Unkel " git 

 drunk an fall in da ditch him self. 



Ay tank its better " Unkle Sam " consult 

 vid his vife on das visky bissnes, be fore all 

 da boys git to be slaves of visky, and it don't 

 be any more liberty in das country. Ay tank 

 purty soon da goddes of liberty vil be shame 

 to Stan' on top of da dome of ours capetal in 

 Vashington, and mebby she vil climb down 

 and sit in da shade till old Misses Unkel Sam 

 do a little house-cleaning down below, and 

 mak old "Unkel Sam" yoin da Salvation 

 Army, and vare a cap in place of dat big plug 

 hat. An ven Missus Sam git after Ole Unkel 

 vid da broom, he better votch out or— 



Unkle Sam, vil git a slam 



Vat mak of him a better man, 

 An my good Ian', 1 bet she can 



Mak " Unkel Sam " to understan". 

 Or vid dat broom she'll soon mak room 

 For a whole lots better man. 

 In Chicago it is lots of big churches and 

 preachers and good Christians, an big Salva- 

 tion Army, vot is vorking hard to save da 

 people from visky and da devvel, but ay see 

 in da daly paper dat da saloons is selling 

 visky about 24 hours out of every day, an 

 dom is vorking hard to graft more hours on 

 to da town clock so dom can sel more visky. 

 Da saloon mans in Chicago have grafted sin
