The program rendered by the AM

Waiting Till The
Ditch Comes Thru

Reading DER the newsy columns
OF the weekly Enterprise,
Poor old Rips forlorn condition
Shocked my heart, and filled my eyes.
So l thought this trusting settler,
10 his heart and conscience true,
Should be told how late arrivals
Wait until the ditch comes through.
Now | have a hustling neighbor
Who came here in 'o2,
And he owns at least four sections
And Of cattle not a few.
Not penny in his pocket
Had this man whom first knew,
Now he's riding i'm his auto,
Waiting till the ditch comes thru.
When his wife fell i'll of fever
And she weak and weaker grew.
lie fell heir to one whole section
When the promised ditch comes thru.
Then when death had claimed his
victim,
Dobbs arose at once and flew
Back unto a forme" sweetheart,
Who would surely wed he knew.
This fair lady to Montana
Turned her contemplative eyes,
And she took a quarter section,
Which has proved a great surprise.
Then she wed the hustling booster
Who had won her maiden heart,
And she helped him buy the cattle,
Thinking she would own a part.
So they workedand heaped up money
She kept house and raised the fowls
lie raised cattle-always sunny,
But lie thought-like some wise owls
One bright day he told his wife,
That to Canada he'd go.
"No," she said, "Not OIL your lifey,'
"l'll not stay alone you know"
So he urged his wife to visit,
Relatives in some far state,
While he found more rich alluvia],
And they tor the ditch would wait.
When she left. lie rose and hustled
All the household goods they owned
Sheep and cattle, horse and harness
Till the loaded wagons groaned.
Took them to another section
Where he filed OH all he could,
Wrote his wife she had deserted,
And return she never should.
Well, the lady got her homestead.
While her lord got his divorce,
Which is easy in Montana,
When the man has gold. of course.
Now he has three hundred twenty,
Of his very own you see,
And he's married to \ woman,
Who is rich as rich can be.
| admire poor Rips devotion,
10 his love of long ago,
But in "Marvelous Montana
1t is dubbed as all too slow.
He had better hunt another,
Who the waiting act will do,
And his early passion smother,
And be happy till theditch comes thru
