ONLY A LINEMAN.
(Contributed.)

He is only lineman, the people say, As they pass by or give him the way; For his tools, with their rustic and
 bang, Strike many ears with unpleasant
 clang. His dress is untidy, his face does not
 tan, But note, he walks like a man; Not ashamed of his friends nor afraid
 ot his foes When to work in the morning he
 goes, Not dreaming the danger of the death
 each hour His trust and hope in the "unseen
 power" Gives strength to his arms, light to
 his eyes; He fears not to live, fears not to die. A scene on the street few days ago, With "only a lineman" in death laid
 low; His "pals" stood by, tears falling fast Not a word was spoken till he
 breathed his last. They said of their com ade, lying
 dead at their feet, He was only a lineman, never tidy or
 neat; But his heart was as big as the world,
 they said We'll defend his good name now that
 he's dead. The brotherly love of the gang that
 day Was renewed by the side of their
 comrade in clay.
