This verse is for tho.% that try to
le9i other boys astray. Many a boy
was ruined in youth and never was
rescued:
You greet the youth upon the street.
And promised him so meek,
If he will drink with other boys,
A better life he vrill enjoy. .
With a mockery smile to him you
point;
A gay life at the Poker joint.
You say to him to go f ake a hand—
Don’t be afraid to be a man;
Then when you lead this youth to
shame,
Off you go for other game.
