And so it was, with solemn face And strong an' manly swing A-comin' along-a good stiff pace- A-cornin' our way, by Ging! An' jest as he was goin' past Us a-settin' on that bench I ris' right up to show I dast An' give hisarln a wrench. An' then he looked right straight at me To- scold fur what I'd done, But all he said was 'Tm glad to see You strangers here, I swan! An' then he ses, Have you a boy To send to me to learn, Fur we hold yo-u with sort 0' joy As a partner in this concern. An' then he told us what to see An' said he'd send around Some so-rt of guide fur ma an' me An' so he did, I'm bound! I've heard a heap about him, Si, O' speakin' to the folks 'Bout gettin' married. by an' by, The newsmen think 'em jokes. 'Bout poor n1en's kids an' sich as that, It's only newsy plunder, The newsman's talkin' through his hat, Fur Ben's all right, by thunder! An' so' We staid an' looked around- Seen all the sights about, Then set and watched the sun go down An' seen the stars come out. And when the night had shaken o!er Her curtains blue an' drab I done what I seldom did afore- I squeezed ma's hand, by grab! An' so, when next fair time comes again Fm going there once more In spite of cyclone, hail, er rain .Iest as I did afore. Fur, don't yer know, I tell yer, Si, They like to have us come, Fur on the side, twixt you and I, We pay the bills, by gum! 148 R

D4 Uiait to the Zlni. dv VVas down to Lincoln last week, Si, To see the state fair show, And while down there I thought l'd try To see the Uni, too. So Ann and me, we jest went round An' up an' down them walks, And all the things that there we found Would fill a book, by Jocks! The campus, it was nice an' clean As our back pasture lot. The trees and grass were fresh an' green An' seats to rest when hot. When ma and me had walked around An' seen all there was to see We jest went over an' set down To rest awhile, by Gee! An' there we set fur nigh an hour, An' seen the folks go by- Big country lads with brawn an' power An' country lasses shy, They walked together side by side A hold o' hands they had And when the lad a. joke he tried She blushed like peaches, Gad! An' then there come along a chap With hat tipped on one side An' mouth wide open like a gap, An' eyes a-bulgin' wide. He stepped along most easy like E'en most too skeered to move Jest about to turn and hike An' run away, by Jove! With laugh an' style most awful pert, An' iiuffy flaxen curls, With arms chuck full of extra skirt, A flock of jolly girls Came trippin' long like yearlin' calves 'At's jest let loose, yer know, From out the stable an' the stoves Indeed they did, by Joel An' then I se-en ai portly manj Come walkin' down the step, Ann nudged me an' I nudged Ann, Ses I, the Chance, I bet. 147

B.-Inspired by a glimpse into the Debate Trophy Room 5 W4 In ye olden time when the world was young Lived a sage of mighty brain, Wlio worked and toiled at a toilsome work To earn his well-earned grain, And a little meat, and some pie and cake, And some pork and beans besideg Oh small were the wants of the wonted fare That daily filled his hide. Oh, stern was Platois eye and face, As he fronted his flock each day, And he bade them dig, in a doleful tone That none could disobey, 149
