I've often tried to settle down W To office work and live in town And act like civilized folks do, Take in the shows and dances, too, But l'd no more than get a start 'Till Wanderlust,' would seize my heart And in my night dreams I would see The great white silencecalling me. And at the chance I'd never fail To drop it all and hit the trail Back to the solitudes again, With transit, level, rod and chain, To lead the simple life once more And do the same thing oier and oier, Day after day and week after week. Sometimes we would go in town to seek, A little fun and, sometimes-well, Sometimes we raise a little Hell. We don't mean to, but then you see, When we've been out two months or three' In places silent where the face, ' Of white man seems so out off place, 7 ' Well-when we hit, THE GREAT WHITE WAY Our joyful spirits get full sway- We try to crowd into one night The joys of many months, H 'Tain't right? Well, maybe not! 'Tis notifor me To shape our final destiny, A P U V But when our last survey is done n H And tied up to the GREAT UNKNOWN. And to the Chief our seconds brought Of lonely work with danger fraught. Of hardships cheerfully endured That results might be secured, Against this our little sprees Will seem as ponds compared .to seas And the angels surely will decide There's a balance on the credit side. And God, I think will drcp a tear And bless the Hobo Engmeef-

if ' to gsffsefra The flinginews last iammt Beside a western water tank, One cold December day, Inside an empty box-car, A dying Engineer lay, His old pal Fritz stood beside him, With low and drooping head, l..ist'ning to his last words. The dying Engineer said: 'Tm going to a better land, Where everything is bright, Where beef stews grow on bushes, And you sleep out every night. You don't have to work at all - And never change your socks. And streams of Old Crow whiskey, Come trickling down the rocks. Tell the bunch of Old lVlizzo That my face they no more will view: Tell them not to weep for me-, No tears in their eyes must lurk, For I'm going to a land, Where they hate the word called work. Harkl I hear her whistlingg I must catch her on the Hy, I would like a scoop of Falstaff Beer, . Once more before I die. The Engineer stopped, his head fell back, l-le'd sang'his last refrain. V A Old pal Fritz swiped his hat and coat. And caught the eastbound train. lb
