If you will sit here by my side
 You'll see we have treasure.
 We entered an electric car
 With just little force,
 One thing the pleasure seemed to mar.
 Said he, But where's your horse?''
 Just wait | moment l replied, We do not need that creature. He grasped the seat on either side Wi,h fear in every feature The bell was rung, away we went The motion sure and steady. | But when l thought we'd better stop | My friend was also ready.
 And now" said he, ''Id like to see | What gives this critter notion
 Is it the tail, or either rail-
 Or is it all my notionT' 1 Before I'd time to make reply | He sprang with fearful wonder,
 And What is that" l heard him cry, l That goes like lightning yonder?'
 An automobile that, said l, | But few can yet afford it. 1 Said he, 'I'm glad it's held so high; | l should not like to board 1t; 1 1 loved to ride out with my girl When young and free from evil, But where's the pleasure in that whirl And running like the devil?" An, ha, my friend said l at last, Now do not get impassioned; The carriage you just saw go past Is one that's lately fashioned A subway train had just come in Beneath us if you please The passengers came boiling Up More like q swarm of bees. Great Scott!' said Warren. What is
 this?
 Are these the resurrected?'
 O. no, said l. there's naught amiss;
 It's travelling perfected.
 And now, said l, we'll take walk
 Beside the wide, wide sea; want that you should see them talk
 With those they cannot see:
 We came to where the station stood;
 ship was coming in
 The wind and weather very good,
 But she could not be seen: They signaled ere she came in sight, Two hundred miles away, They said by slgnals-known as right It's all as fair as day.
 But where's the wire?" my friend ex-
 claimed By which they thus can talk? of ignorance l am ashamed; Now tell me as we walk Said I, my friend, this thing is new; It has not been perfected; so much of it has proved true Ii cannot be rejected. One other thing that you must know; You heard the telephone; We now can see with whom we talk; He answered with groan. Just one thing more have to tell; ship to sail the air; It takes one over hill and dell c With proper skill and care And is that all?'' he faintly said, For l must hie away; This earth l hardly dare to tread So near the judgment day" But one thing more and then I've done. We have a submarine That under water goes like fun, And cannot then be seen. They fasten powder to the keel Of T mighty ship of war, Then out of sight the sailors feel Light as the beaten straw. They come ashore. they touch q match; The ship leaps mountains high, And none are left to tell the tale Of defeat and misery 70, hold" cried Warren, 'rell no more; I thought the world was better. But now l see its no place for me; It's enough to make one shudder; But safe you may bet l shall never forget What I've seen In the world to-day; l am glad I can live in a peaceful cline Where no evil besets my way. This world is indeed wicked place; Each striving for wealth and station; And to see men so reckless to win the race: Ii does beat all creation turned to speak, but my guest had fled; He had left me without adieu, And I felt in my heart as well as my head That what he had said was true; You may think me vain as I try again A true report to give, But at your request have done my best And hope that the child may life.
