OUR RIDE ON THE ELECTRIC CARS FROM STOWE
TO WATERBURY.
1t came to pass that they of the tribe of
their fathers, dwelling round about Stowe, in
the country of Vermont, who had heard of
the dream of King Daniel and the nterpreta-
ton thereof and had seen the mighty work
ing of their sons and their sons wives in get
ting be start of their fathers and inclining
| Daniels heart to give them the first ride on
the electric cars to possess the land of Hyde
Park, said unto him; this thing ought not SO
children to be mindful of all thy dealings >
and now we pray that thou shouldst have
respect unto our age, for We are still young
at heart and still able to fiirt with the best of
| unen0, ana we clamOF Tor a ride.
| Then did Daniel the King summons the
chief counselor Smith and said INTO him,
The demands of my people must he satisfied
Their olamOrings must cease, else they will
step on me or chew me up" The counselor
bowed low and said; If it pleaseth thee. o
| King OF the StOWeites, SO shall it be-" And
| straightway he delivered far and near Dam
| lei proclamation, saying: "Out from the
profits of thy lands, thy hocks and herds, 1hy
houses, thy buying and selling places and
from all that has been given thee take thou
a gOOdly sum for thine own use that thou
mayest enjoy the day give unto thee, which
is Thursday of the week, the first day of
March, in the year eighteen hundred and
ninety -four, assembling yourselves together
at eleven by the clock to do honor to the
King'S dream"
Now while Daniel gazed ON the long train
of car chariots decorated with flags of our
country, and heard his counselor toot the
last toot, and saw the mighty host advanc.
ing, then did his heart wax glad within him
and be said
! Come on my friends, hurrahl heigh-ho!
Mcmahon, Robinson and H. Mayo.
John and Frank of Stafford fame,
Say the conductor was to blame,
For he it was that wanted toll
OF poor Ned Kaiser and Inca Cole
Ned wasn't able to carry freight
But he had to endure ard calmly wait
| Till Slayton, Simmons and Arthur Spaver
Whispered, and said, Il vow, I'd leave her."
If Watts should tell, you know, the sight,
The Methodists would have fight.
Orson and Kate, and Vira by him,
Mrs. Bailey said they looked quite prim,
Moulton and Cooley with wives so calm,
Said, they couldn't SEE there was any harm
If Minnie did poor DR.. Albee tease
For pills for Miss NJ. and Sibughilese
Annie of the house of Harris strong,
Brought Vern, her father, right alang,
While all laughed at the smile on his phiZ,
For we knew he'd forgotten his rheumatiz.
The brothers, Frank and preston Gale,
Heard, they say, a low, deep wall
As Mary said, Now ii you will believe,
That John Straw woman has got my Stevel"
And she didn't seem to care n penny
While he was there for Henry Jenney.
IT'S the fashion now SO some folks say,
Especially on such gala day,
To wear silk hats and dandy choker,
And sit in state in a lovely smoker.
Didn't Tom Downer make j. Straw mad
Who thinks he is the latest fad
When he told Mrs. Raymond of the somer-
| sault
And claimed it wasn't Hoardman's fault
} Then Warren, the Atkins, with Mrs Bruce
Looked quite handsome near Alpine Luce.
, ! Mrs Barker gave FraDk Benson Look.
When Lucy and Nancy the hint soon took,
And said to him, &C If you're bound TO shift,
You can take your seat by Maude, the Swift -
Corrie r. and Millie Sayton said,
If ever they should up and We'd
They wanted a man both handsome and
merry
Like Dan Moody or Orlando Gerry.
Will Adams, Frank and Charlie Burt,
Mrs Ed. Hale claims, felt really hurt,
When they saw modest Mrs. Dyke
: Attract the attention of P. D. Pike.
Who would have thought, said Mrs Luce,
That M. c. Loveioy could look so spruce,
And what shall we say of Governor B.
Who smiled so sweetly on Mrs. T.
Angie Moody was heard to whisper,
'Ausie s face is one great blister"
Lamson the Straw tucked nicely in.
While Kate looked on" the might have been. y
Silence brooded for once on the clan,
| Till Minnie shouted, "Oh, there's MANI
Confusion reigned dislike to tell,
The tiagman ran as if from H.
: Terror gave wings to his feet in their fight
Until down the hill and out of sight.
, You've got to reap what you do COW
When the old folks start on q ride from Stowe,
Now Dillingham; has secured his MOllie,
J Let s,sing the song of "always so Jolly"
| You gain nothing, if you nothing venture,
So they thought at Waterbury Center.
There was Miss Il. Colley and Nettie Chase,
And Russell says, she has perfect grace
Dillingham;, Smith and Ida Mars,
Bright and sparkling summer stars.
= Master Clayton Demeritt and $. +. Stearns,
Hopkins and Freeman to look after the turns
Mrs. Marther and Wheeler and D. C. Hayes,
, Live on the sunny side of days,
While nobody says that Franklin is partial
To the last on our list, Mr.. W. E. Marshal
1t came to pass as the chariots did near the
city of Waterbury, the Governor demanded
silence. The tooters ceased to toot, the womeI
: ceased to talk, and 10 and behold there arose
from the multitude shouts of greeting, Ions
and loud; and under the waving of
r hundred banners, the subjects of King DAME
were driven TO the feasting house of Barrett
T And such feast our stomachs did groaT
| from the pain of oVereating. But Daniel out
e of the goodness of his heart, did say tC
$ | Frank, surnamed Barrett, Fear not, thit
I shall be unto thee and thy house an everlast
| ing recommend
Then, as soon as possible did the King
e order other chariots to be furnished, fol
e the horses did weaken under the burden O
, | weight; and amidst the hurrahs and hal
!. lelujahs of the multitude enOamping round
about, we started for our own country.
As we neared the outskirts OF our city
o lights flashed from every window and hap
. piness reigned supreme. Then did King Dan
Q ! lei say, Behold hath destruction been work
| ing in our midst while we were seeking pleas
: | ure? Our city is on trel' Then did the
; councillor and certain older magicians say
: | unto him, Not so o Kingl 1t is but the re-
Ijoicing of the people at orr safe return. Mel
: vim and Parish, our heraders, have gone
y before us, Lo, and Behold our receptionl"
k BOnfires and torches cast glow
t Over the face of beautiful snow;
: While cheer upon cheer rent the air,
/ AS message of love to Danish care.
