JIM CROKER.

Jim Croker lived far in the woods,
A solitary place.
Where bushes grew like whiskers
On his unrazored face;
And the black bear was his brother,
And the catamount his chum,
And Jim, he lived and waited
For the millions yet TO come.
Jim Croker made clearing
And he sowed II down with wheat;
HI filled his lawn with cabbage,
And he planted 1t with beet;
Ii blossomed with the potato,
With the peach and pear and plum,
And Jim. he lived and waited
For the millions yet to come
Then Jim took his ancient ak
And cleared a forest street,
While he lived on bear and succotash
And young orossum meat.
And his rhythmic aX-stroke sounded.
And the woods no more were dumb,
While he cleared a crooked highway
For the millions yet to come.
They came as aimless strangers,
They came from far and near,
And a little log house settlement
Grew around the pioneer:
And the sound of saw and hroadax
Made glad industrial hum.
Says Jim: THE coming millions,
They just begun 10 come
Then little crooked railway
Wound around mountain, hill and lake.
Crawling toward the forest village
Like an undulating snake,
TIL one morn the.lOcOmotive
Puffed into the wilderness.
Says Jim: 1.-THE coming millions,
They're coming by express
And the city grew and prospered
With each succeeding year,
1t had a city council,
And old Jim was chosen mayor.
But Jim declined the honor
And moved his household goods
Far away into the forest,
To the old primeVal woods.
Far far into the forest
Moved the grZzled pioneer,
And he reared his hut and murmured:
I'm build a city here"
And he hears the woodfOX barking,
And he hears the partridge drum,
And the old man sits and listens
For the millions yet to come"
