winds had blown. week after

was like a shield Of brass, the sun
was sizzling night and day; |

This year we'll have no corn or

keeps, there was no hope for any
yield; the farmer shed his bitter
weeps. while gazing on his shriv-
eled field. And then, when things
were at their worst, some dark
blue clouds lined up on high; they
fooled around a while, then burst,
and soaked the cornhelds baked
and dry. ut is too late,'' the
farmers said, while rain was pelt

falls till we are dead, the corn is
gone, for evermore. Rain fol-
lowed rain, day after DAY, II
seemed that it would never stop,
and now we hear the farmers say,
well have at least a half a
crop" 1t is a miracle as great as
natures laws have e'er allowed;
it is as though some planted skate

could grow to keep the struggling
