81 WANT YOU MA HONEY

Charley Hoyt, the dramatist. whose
Agnt, 1t Is feared. has gone out. wrote
the Following pretty line in tribute TO
sadie McDonald-known to st. Paul
tneatergoers--a member OF one of his
companies, who died on an Australian
trip. It is said to be his last song:
When the scene Is lighted brightly. and
~ we watch the players nightly,
Inc peasant, the prince and the page
40 tnere comes an apparition I Is q
little fair-haired vision
IN the middle of the crowded stage.
AND across the footlights stealing TO the
Hst'ning heart appealing
knew,
want you ma honey yes want ycu.
want you ma honey. yes DOR
Then she passes. Yonder. lonely. shs
has one true comrade only.
Who comes to her with whisperines of
hope,
Speeding fast across the ocean with TN
faltering devotion.
T is the wind from her own Pacific
slope,
And it presses toward her pillow, print
Ing Footsteps on the bilow,
Lightly, ike one who comes to WOO
And IT murmurs low above her. with the
soft sigh of a lover,
I want you ma honey. yes dor.
All. the worktime and the playtime! All.
the hot and garish daytimeI
She rests undisturbed through 1t ALL
While the sultry hours are creeping, In
her darkened room she's sleeping,
And she needs not the loudest call.
But when the lights are glist' ming, and
the silent stars are Hst'ning.
From their places in the steadfast bfle,
II we come, our sad hearts bringing, we
may hear her softly singing,
want you ma honey, yes dor
And when the years have vanished, and
more stately songs are banished.
This simple strain that time cannot kill,
VIII recall the figure slender, and tho &C.
cents clear and tender,
And the tresses that are golden still.
You will listen, little lady, and perhaps
you'll hear us, Sadie,
S1nging-across the years-to you,
The song you taught so sweetly, ere you
passed from US completely
81 want you ma honey, yes dol"

A SONG OF PRUNEs7

Throughout the drift Of centuries, since
first the world was young,
The bardS have tuned their Tyres up and
cleared their threats and sung
Glad songs of fruits and flowers, OF the
orchard and the field,
And pulled up nearly everything the SILL
has deigned to yield,
And SO I crave attention while your
humble servant tunes
His Tyre to the topmost pitch and sings
song Of prunes.
Oh, prunesi though thou art At to grace
the banquet of q king,
Yet dost thoutto the lowly board Of hum
Bile peasants bring
The PUPPY fairness full of JOY and havers
rich and deep
Oh. is there aught on earth so rare and
yet so good and-cheap!
And could l tWang a thousand harps
through centuries of Junes,
My one and all triumphant theme would
be a song Of prunes.
But, oh, the hfdebound. sorry prune, With
vlsage pinched and lean,
We meet In boarding house resorts Is
not the sort I meant
Give me instead the puffy prune, inflated
with its juice,
That makes strawberries and the like
to me of little USE
For did. own a thousand mouths ard
twice as many spoons,
I'd still employ them, every one, to get
my fill Of prunes!

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Beyond the fact that he born on Feb.

coin usually had but little to say of him
self, the lives of his parents or the his
tory Of the family before their removal
to Indiana If he mentioned the subject
at all. it was with great reluctance and
significant reserve. When he was nomi-
mated for the presidency 1t gave him a
prominence he could not understand,
when his home at Springfield. H., was
besieged by biographers, correspondents,
artists and sculptors. His reply to one
man eager TO write his life was: 1T is
great piece Of folly to attempt to make
anything out of me or my early life.
It can ali be condensed into a single
sentence, and that sentence you will find
in Gray's 'Elegy:'

poor
THAT'S my life. and that's all you or
any one else can make out of it,
His father was q farmer and found 1t
difficult to provide the necessities of life.
The sons first work away from home
was when he was seventeen years old as
helper on a ferry boat on the Ohio
river, for which he got 81 cents day His
subsequent history was a constant up
hill struggle. Even In death he has not
been allowed to rest, as his body has
been removed ten times.
