plump, healthy women, pottering
around, barefooted, in the rice paddles,
cultivating the meager but sufficient
crop, will be no more. Instead, the
whole rice field will be properly irri-
gated, drained when the heads are ripe,
and harvested with great machines. No
more will the women pound the hard
white grains in the mortar. There will
be rice mills, run by strong men, if the
people continue to eat anything so prim-
tive as rice. More probably they will
acquire a taste for imported truffles and
caviar, and the vast revenue from their
farm lands and mines will be exchanged
for Indigestion. BY That time the women
will be handling the political situations,
because the men are too busy earning
money. And all because of seven

How lonesome-like and still 1t seems
since she amt here no more;
I ne yer knew how big q place it was she
filled before;
I miss the songs, too. that she sung, and
ma she mOpeS around
Az bad as though we'd went and put our
girl down in the ground
Instid Of dressin' .er up fine and givin'
'er away
It all seems long ago. and yit twas only
yesterday.
How proud and glad he seemed to be
when It rxas done at last
And they was man and wife and by 4
lovin' bond held fast,
And she looked up at him and smiled,
and. fur as could see,
Appeared to have clean plump forgot
about her ma and me:
Shed only eyes for him. she left us
standin' lonely there:
AZ long as he was by her side guess
she didn't care.
And yit to think how once she'd put her
head agin my breast
And tell me I would always be the one
she'd love the best!
Shed never 60 away. she said, unless I
went along,
wake me with q song:
And oh how we'll I mind the day she
= come to make M glad
see her still jist as she lay a-lookin' at
her dad.
How proud we washer ma and me
when she commenced to creep,
And how we'd hustle out of bed If she
would even peep,
And how we watched and how DraVad
through many. many a night.
And how we worked and saved and
planned to make her burdens light;
Kit here we are alone, she's gone! Some
how 1t seems as though
1nstid Of startin' yesterday she'd left us
years ago.
Che looked back smtlin when she went
I seen 'er through my tears
Behind us gladness lays. ahead are long
o.. and ionesy years:
The hotrse seenls big and dack; the sun,
I'd almost swear. has ceased.
To light things up the way it done be-
fore she started East!
90 here's the end Of Ill the dreams that
made us glad before:
The little girl the good Lord sent belongs
to as no more.
CANTO THE SECOND
I made a slight mistake, it seems. lit
tie while ago:
When she got married and when ma
moped around and took 1t so
We thought we'd lost our girl. We
thought, the day she went away,
Shed never more be Twin here a-singin'
bllthe and gay;
But she's come back, and he's here, too;
it seems he lost his job,
And gosh! the restin he kin do!-Gee up!
Go long there. Bob!
