flag,

And then, arter nicking our principerles, slang us—and with our own gag!

I'm one with you as to the furriner, leastways you seem one with me,

And when you rile up at the rot about "'Arries Abroad," I agree.

I shan't discumfuddle myself if they don't like my tystes or my togs.

Let the Germans go 'ome and eat coke, Frenchies stick to their snyles and stewed frogs.

But when you suggest as the "aitch" makes a 'a'porth o' difference—Bosh!

You call me a "aitch-droppin' howler," whilst you are "a gent"! It won't wash.

Me a Rad,—arter all I 'ave written? 'Taint much on it you can 'ave seen.

And to ask Punch to give me the chuck!—yah! it's mean, Mister Harry, it's mean!

* See "Harry on 'Arry," p. 81.


'CALM AND PEACE.'

"CALM AND PEACE."

Lord S-l-sb-ry (Skipper). "WELL, ARTHUR, WE'VE WON OUR RACES—AND NOW WE CAN TAKE IT EASY!"

["I hope we shall have a period of calm and peace."—Mr. Balfour's Speech, August 12.]



"A Battersea bounder," too! Rats!!! Do you think I'm a pal o' Jack Burns?

Mix me with "the masses"? Great Scott! It's a thought as the soul o' me spurns.

You jumped-up, cheap, Coventry bagman, silk-sampling, no doubt, is your biz,

But sampling "the classes and masses" is not, blow me tight if it is!

Yah! Pack up your ribbings, and aitches, and don't aggranoy me no more,

But jest mind your own interference! A bounder you are—and a bore.

You've borrered my patriot sperrit, you've borrered a slang phrase or so,

But there's one thing, my boy, you carn't borrer, and that is my rattle and go!

There, Charlie, I've given 'im beans, this 'ere Harry, as carn't abear Cads,

And wants to put up a aitch-fence like to keep out us row-de-dow lads.

Let 'im call 'isself 'Enery at once, that's the badge for sech bounders to carry,

And then 'e may bet 'is larst bob as 'e won't be confounded with 'Arry.


THE SONG OF THE SHRIMPER.

[A correspondent, writing (to the Daily Chronicle) from Harwich, describes the deplorable condition of work prevailing among the shrimp catchers. "These poor fellows," he says, "are at sea twelve hours a day catching, and have to devote four hours more to boiling and packing for London. And yet all the middlemen send them down is from fourpence to fivepence a gallon."]
