IA rewell party at the residence Of Mrs
Walter Monteith. Several hours were
passed in delightful manner In games,
a nice lunch and short program. MIR
and Mrs Hearst iaks 10 their homes In
Portland the best wishes Of a host Of
friends. The program consisted ol q
poem by Mr. 4 Storrs Barrows, which
expresses the situation so well we give
IL In full:
There lived a good woman,
Who got very tired
OF keeping Of boarjers
With one girl that she hired.
With cooking and stewing and
Washing mp dishes,
Getting ham and chipped beef,
And sometimes q few fishes.
Baked potatoes, beans and milktoass,
Which she said
Was her fayorite-becanse II used
Up the old bread.
And fruits Of the finest,
More than 400 quarts,
She used in one season OF al
Kinds and all sorts.
But grandest Of all, che was
Proud OF her cake,
The boarders would taste 70,
And jump up and cry shake"
II would melt In their mouth,
And bring tears 10 their eyes,
II the piece that they got
Was not one Of good size.
Down the throats Of these boarders
All this disappeared,
With milk, coffee and tea until
Some Of rs feared
The good woman would rise,
And swear by the skies,
She would keep no more boarders,
And make no more pies.
Twas good class OF boarders
She had from the first.
They stood by her all round,
And said, dear Mrs Hearst
Don't leave us as orphans
To go out in the cold,
But stay with ue, and call rs
The lambs Of your fold.
Her tears fell apace,
While they hung on her neck,
And she thought OF her bank book,
And many check
The dear boys had paid her,
70 settle their score
Before she allowed them
To 20 out Of her door.
She was ail IN q tremble,
But she spoke mp and said,
feel 50 broke up
most wish was dead.
They buried their heads In her
Lap as they cried,
We feel just as you do,
And most wish we had died
When we were young and
Knew little OF trouble,
Now we are old
And some OF us double.
With a lump in her throat,
And her hands on our head,
She at last found her voice
i And kindly she said,
Don't cry for me now,
Don't cry for rae never,
Pm going 70 Portland
To do nothing for eyer.
Then all OF us spake
With loud ringing voice,
Mrs Hearst we release you,
And the man Of your choice.
We give you our greeting,
And say our farewell,
May blessings 20 with you
That tongue cannot tell.
Wherever you 90
