Mississippi, have at least a
quart. You don't. have to tread
on their toes but once. They
always strike back. To get a
scrap out Of them all you have
TO do is to name the time and
place. Every man should have
a moderate amount of sand in
his gizzard. 1t gives him pride
of character and enables him to
go thru the world with his head
up, feeling that he can take care
Of himself on any ground. A
man with sandy gizzard, when
he is right, is a power to be re-
ckoned with.
Don't forget it takes three
kinds of sand to keep the world
going
/ observed a locomotive in the
railroad yards one day.
1t was waiting in the roadhouse
where locomotives stay,
1t was painting for the journey,
it was coaled and fully manned
And it had a box thefreman was
filing full OF. sand
It appears that locomotives can
not always get a grip,
On their slender iron pavement,
cause the wheels are apt 70
slip:
And when they reach a slippery
SPOT their tatics they com
mand,
And to a grip upon this rail, they
sprinkle it with sand.
It's about, the way with travel
along the slippery track:
If your load is very heavy, you're
always slipping back.
So, if a common locomotive you
completely understand,
You'll provide yourself in start
ing with a good supply of
sand.
You can get to any station that
T, is on life's schedule seen,
If there is fire beneath the boiler |
of ambitions strong machine,
And you'll reach a place called |
Flushtown at a rate of speed |
that's grand,
If for all the slippery places you
have good supply of sand, !
Yours truly,
ELI PERKINS.
