And ladies held their sway,
A maiden bold

My love hath gold so fair,

And ducats true,
That none with him compare.

I'll live for gold or die.
I've fought for gold,
I've fought for gold,
For gold. for gold III die"

is made of logs and Is on the side of a hill
which stretches back and bitches itself to q
mountain that raises itself up until its snowy
summit touches the blue sky. The waters
come down the mountain side in silvery
laughter and all day long make music within

ton and in the middle of as limpld a stream
of water as ever charmed fairy, is dairy
in which are crooks and crooks and crooks OF
milk from John Parlin's Holstein herd
Here in this secluded spot, remote from
the contentious of this busy world. came the
railroad engineer running his line. John
Parlin took him in and gave him of his cheer
in a hospitable manner that would inspire an
American Walter Scott The engineer went
away, and later on came other railroad men,
some of them magnates, and John Parlin
furnished them food and rest and plenty of
milk. Then they told him they wanted 500
acres of his land, and asked him to name his
price
The old man in his generosity of heart,
in his nature which partook Of the freedom
of his home and its picturesque surroundings,
said to them: You can have l,5OO acres if
you will put a depot over there near the
dairy and make all your trains stop there
five minutes The road was built. The
agreement was kept, and is till this day.
And John Parlin sits in the doorway of his
log house and sees the trains come in and
stop. And the passengers and the engineers
and the firemen and the conductors and the
brakemen leave their trains and go over to
the dairy and partake of John Parlins Hol-
stein cows milk, fresh and cooled by the
mountain stream, free of charge Then they
return to the train and it speeds away, and
John Parlin stands in his doorway and waves
his hand and his children shout in natures
grasses at the departing scene."- Chicago
