HIS LIFE WORK.

this
The splendor Of an honest name.
The Joy within his baby'a klaa.
No deed OF glory marked his yeara
but as he lived from day TO day,
IIe quickly dried his loved ones tears
And brushed n lot OF care away
IIo carried kindness where he went.
He,spoke the simple words OF cheer
That much TO many toiler meant;
His lips were never known to sneer,
The biggest Job he ever had
Was that providing clothes and food
And being a kind and patient dad
Unto HIS happy little brood.
But little for himself he sought,
lie shose TO tread tho quiet ways.
Among the ranks OF men he fought,
hut homo was whore he looked for
praise.
II they were proud OF him and smiled
To see him coming homo AT night
To life his soul WAS reoonciled,
And he possessed supreme delight
No wise historian will tell
The record of his work on earth;
No song Of poet here will swell
Mems testimony 90 his worth.
lie made no special bid for fame,
His browning glory lies In this,
That those Who live and wear MS

A splendid father long will miss.
