THE WHISTLER
By Berton Braley.
"One of the worst pests' is the ding
ed fool who whistles in public places,
street cars, busses, etc., to the annoy
ance of every one around' him. A lick
ing is none too good for him." A
Letter to the Editor.
Whistle, old chap; you just go on and
whistle;
Never you fret about kickers like
him;.
Your heart's as light as the down of
a thistle; .
Who cares if grumblers are
grouchy and grim?
Go on and whistle? don't mind what
they say to you;
Most of us thrill to your message of
cher;
Fortune is good and" the world's look
ing gay to you? .
Go on and whistle; it's pleasant to
hear!
Whistle, man, whistle as light as a
thistle;
Go on and whistle; it's j bully to
hear! ' . - -

Let the old bachelors burble 'and

Go on and whistle it proves there is
Boy in you..
Youth that has lasted' for many a
year;
Give us the notes of the funand the
joy in you;
Go on and whistle,; it's;pieasant to

airs;
Whistle in spite of the groucheswho

Toil is forgot aswe hark to the Pan

Go on and whistle it's pleasant to
hear;
Whistle, man'; whistle as light as a f
