I awoke the other night from a deep dream of peace, And saw, within the moonlight of my room. Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom, A hillbilly writing in a book of gold— And to the hillbilly in my room I said, What writes! thou? He raised his head. And this is what he said: In the future you will see: Haywood, Colvin, and Gene still trying to get along with the top sergeant who isn ' t as patient as their teach¬ ers used to be. Doris and Dwight and Pat and Bill happily married. Lyle Coffee still grumbling, but now it is about hard¬ ware. Helen Hannah still selling milk for Mrs. Sloan.

Then I said, And is mine one? But the hillbilly re¬ plied, Nay, not so. But I perked up and said, Then write me as one who loves his fellowmen. Then the hillbilly wrote and disappeared. The next night the hillbilly came again And showed the names upon his list and lot M. H. Bowles led all the rest! 20
