l dream of beautiful time
When the world shall happy be;
When elephants and hyenas
Shall bios ON on every tree.
When tamarinds and potatoes
Shall cease their dreadful roar,
When turnip trees shall blossom
In the garden forevermore.
/ dream of great republic,
Whose people shall go west,
Sow plums and reap tomatoes
In the land they love the best;
Where pig-iron and molasses
Shall bloom on every hill.
And chickens low in the barnya1d,
" lille gooseberries toll at the mill
I am weary of seeing the cabbage
Handle the rake and hoe;
| am weary of watching and waiting
For the grasshOpper bush to grow.
| long for the time when spinach
Shall cope with bread and milk;
When hens shall lay tomatoes
And horses spin raw silk.
Oh. sweet were the vanished hours
When l wandered adown the glen.
And wreathed my brow with tomatoes
Or plucked the ripened hen.
When the donkey twined up the trellis.
And the cucumber chirped in the grass,
And the sweet potato whistled
To its mate in the mountain pass.
But gone are the days of childhood,
And manhood's dreams are mine,
Yet | long for the bygone hours
As l sit meath the turkey-vine.
Oh. wreathe your blossom about me,
And soothe my aching breast,
While the gooseberry Dlaintiyely MARBLES
And lulls me into rest.

in the roll. He Immediately bethought
himself to throw off his coat, but in do
ing so his hanu was drawn into the
rolls. "Fll let it pull my arm out" he
thought to himself, but as the merciless
machinery pulled at the stout muscles
and tendons, Mr.. Glazicr found that his
arm would not pull off without break
ing his neck. Just think of such
situation for man to be in! Cooily
submitting to his fate, he turned his
head over on the side to save his nose,
and through the space of about four
inches he was drawn up to his hips. He
SAYS as the rolls passed over his head it
made noise like grinding coffee in a
mill, and that's the last he remembers.
The blood spurted from his eyes, ears
and mouth so as to 60 on to the dryer,
