Jim Bludso.

Wall. no, I can't tell whar he lives.
Because he don't live, you see;
Leastwise, he's got out of the habit
OF Twin Ike you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three
year
That you haren't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is ali pretty much, alike
One wife in Natchez-under-t
And another one here in Pike.
A keerless man in his talk was jim.
And an awkward hand in row;
But he never f1unked. and he never lied
reckon he never knowed how
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine well.
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the pilots bell:
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire.
A thousand times he swore,
He'd hold her nozzle again the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mississip
And her day come at last:
The Movastar was a better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed
And SO she came tearing along that
night
The oldest craft on the line
With a niger squat on her safety waive
And her furnace crammed rosin and
pine
The fire burst out as she cleared Inc bar,
And burnt a hole in the night,
And quick as a fash she turned and made
For that willer bank on the right
There was runnin' and cursin'. but Jim
yelled out.
over all the internal roar:
'T'll hold her nose agin the bank.
Till the last galoot's ashorel'
Through the not. black breath of the
burnin' boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard.
And all he'd trust in his cussednesS
And lknowed he would keep his word.
And sure's you're born. they all got off
Afore the Smokestacks fell
And Bludsos ghost went up alone
IN the smoke of the Prairie Belle
He weren't no saint but at Judgment
I'd run my chance with Jim
Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with him.
He seen his duty. a dead-sure thing,
And went for IL, thar and then.
And Christ amt a-goin' to be hard
On a man that died for men.

And it came to pass that the Meek
Eyed Youth looked upon the Glorious
Girl while her cheeks were red, and
he spake unto her, saying. "Fairest
creature upon earth, wilt thou be my
beauteous bride?"
And the Glorious Girl made swift
answer, saying:\"Not, 0 Reginald!
not until you have given me positive
proof that you love me"
And the face of the Glorious Girl was
even as the wild lily of the untrodden
forest for coyness, but her voice was
like unto the tax collectors for firm
ness.
And the Meek-Eyed Youth looked
him far away into the henceforth, for
great fear was with him. and in his
wailing woe he was fain to end it all.
And it came to pass that in that
darkest moment q great light dawned
upon him, and he spake unto the
Glorious Girl, saying: "Lest, perad-
venture, thou misunderstandst me,
again do I say, be my beauteous bride
AS for proof that I love thee, fair one,
let me draw your attention to the fact
that Christmas is scarce four weeks
hence-dost want more proof?"
And straightway the Glorious Girl
nestled close to his more or less manly
breast, and even rs she nestled she
spake, saving: 'sThou artindeed brave.
