Edgar Guest - Hubbard And Pelletier
Work rating: Low

Elbert Hubbard of East Aurora was the guest of E. LeRoy Pelletier at luncheon Wednesday.—From the news column. 


TWO long-haired friends at table sat 
And sipped some old Sauterne, 
And each one sought throughout the chat 
The other`s tricks to learn. 
"I see some dandruff on your coat," 
To Elbert whispered Roy; 
Said Elbert, clearing out his throat: 
"That`s genius, my boy." 

"A goodly crop of hair you own,"
To Roy, then quoth the sage: 
"Mine had not quite so bushy grown 
When I was at your age. 
I like the way you brush it back, 
`Tis pleasing to the eye, 
But one thing I perceive you lack, 
And that`s a flowing tie." 

"Why wear you such an awful thing?"
Then questioned Roy the Fra; 
"Because it is distinguishing, 
And men know who you are. 
The hair and tie have marked me well," 
In confidence he spake, 
"And Elbert Hubbard all can tell 
Where`er my way I take."

Not far from where this famous pair
Were chatting, sat a crowd: 
Said one: "That`s Elbert Hubbard there!" 
The voice was fairly loud. 
"Which one?" exclaimed another then, 
In still a higher pitch. 
"The long-haired one," he said again. 
Said he: "I know, but which?"
