Working BY the Day

The bestoff folks, I've heard folks say
Was folks that worked by just the day
They didn't have to fuss a lot
About the rain or rust or rot;
They always had enough to eat,
If sap that year was sour or sweet;
Their children didn't cough no more
Than them whose father kept the
store
They didn't work as long as you
And got their pay each day or two
They kept a list Of landlord men
That had a herring bait at ten;
They picked their company just like
flirts,
And shaved for none who tore their
shirts;
They knew the farms where witch
grass grew,
And who laid in some apple-ju
0f course, they owned no currycombs
Or halters, but they had their homes
Though short Of wagons, jacks and
OIL
They each possessed some garden soil
And each was free, thofgh void OF
team,
To 30 by livery, foot or steam;
They all had vines about the door
And leaf flecl1ed SUNSHINE on the floor
II any Of their folks was sick
They got polite attention quick;
The ladies round the he ghborhood
Mas awful competent and good;
I've seen them calling Madame Lamb
And Aunt Odella Dillingham;;
The doctor made his charges small
Or else forgot to charge atall.
They stood firstrate for folks that
work
And often@knew the County Clerk;
They'd seen Cornhill and scollay
square
And knew the "Fitchburg" took 'em
there
| Their boys Yves wittier than the rest
Of us gaIoots, and slicker dressed,
The barber always cut their hairs
And they was great on wh.stling
"airc'
They was all average hands to hire,
Unless you got the village liar,
The man whose yarns. when quarter
spun.
Made rakes turn tail and pitchforks
run.
When Ell the fish in town was caught
| re sometimes hayed ACUTE lot
And saved ahead enough to go

Martins novel, "Barnabetta,' which was the basis of successful stage vehicle for Mrs. Fiske a few Seasons back.
 Miss Binney's leading man is Jere Austin, who made his stage debut in The Squaw Man, and later entered the picture field where his noteworthy performances in Resurrection and "A Perfect Lady" brought him to the fore.
 The part of Juliet Miller, erstwhile Susan, which was played by Mrs Fiske in the stage version, was created for the screen by Jane Alden, long known to film audiences for her work in The Birth Of a Nation" Miss Alden was at one t.me associated with Mrs. r ske on the stage So, also was Georges Renayent, who plays the role of Emanuel Dreary in this photoplay
 Another well known actor in the cast of 'Erstwhile Susan" is Anders Randolf, whose delineation of the f. nancier in the picture version of "The Lion and the Mouse was a distinct hit.
