RAPID CRY, S. D., MARCH 10, 1905.

I'm Hard Row For stumps."
You ask for manliness. martial deeds7
Go back to Ohio's natal morn,
Go back to Kentucky's fields OF corn:
Just weeds and stumps and stumps and
weeds,
Just red men blazing from stump and
tree.
Where buckskinned prophets midst strife
and stress
Came crying, came dying, in the wilder
ness,
That hard. first, cruel half century!
What psalms they sang! What prayers
they said!
Cabin or camp. as the wheels rolled
west;
Silently leaving their bravest, best
Paving a nations path with their dead!
What unnamed battles. what thumps and
bumps!
What saber slashes with tho broad,
bright hoel
What weeds in phalanx! What stumps
And the saying grew. as sayings will
grow
From hard endeavor ana bangs and
bumps:
1Ao 6ol III miEnV nara row Tor
stumps,
But he tried and died trying to hoe hls
row."
oh. brighter and better that ten pound
hoe
Than brightest broad saber Of Water
loo!
Nor ever fell soldier moro truly true
Than he who died trying to hoe his row.
The weeds are gone and the stumps are
gone.
The huge hoptoad and the copperhead.
And million bent sabers flash triumph
instead
From stately. clean corn in the diamond
sown dawn.
But the heroes have vanished. save here
and there.
Far out and afield like some storm riven
tree,
Leans a last survivor of Thermopylae,
Leahess and desolate, lone and bare.
Joaquin Miller in Harpcr's.
