GEORGE ALIEN
BY RAMA TATE
Coa1mont, Tenn.

George Allen was the name
With pretty golden hair.
HIS fireman, Jack Dixon,
Was standing by his side,
Awaiting for start orders
All DER the roads to ride.
Along did come that +. +. d.,
The 'swiftest on the line'
While running into Hennon,
Twenty minutes behind time.
Waiting for start orders,
All in a cab to ride.
Georges mother came to him
With basket at her side,
Saying, ''Now, my darling boy,
Be careful how you run,
A many a man has lost his life,
Trying to make lost time,
And If you'll pull your engine right
You'll get there just on time"
ooh, mother, | know your advice is
good,
But later III take heed,
I'm sure my engine is all right,
And | am sure that she will speed,
Although these roads are mean to go
At the speed of cannon ball,
But when | blow at the Big Ben
tunnel,
I'm sure you'll hear my call.
George looked at his fireman, Jack,
Says, ga little more extra steam,
Pm going to run old No. 4
The fastest you ever seen;
Although these roads are mean to go
AT the speed of cannon ball,
But when | blow at the stockyard
gate,
I'm sure you'll hear my call"
George looked at his fireman, Jack,
Say $, "a rock ahead | see,
Tn nlre that death is waiting to grab
Both you and me from this cab.
You had better jump, your life to
save,
I want you to live an engineer
While sleeping in my grave"
'Oh no." says Jack, sit will not do,
want to die with YOU" |
ooh no" says George, sit will not do,
can died for both you and me-"
And from that cab poor Jack did
jump,
The river was high,
And as he waved his hand at George |
Old No. 4 flew by.
Up the road she darted,
Against the rock she rushed,
Upside down the engine turned,
Poor Georges breast was crushed.
lis head was against the firebox door,
Those burning flames rolled on,
George Allen was an engineer
But now he is dead and gone.
Georges mother came to him,
Saying,"Son, what have you done?"
Too late, mama, too late,
My doom I've run at last,
But if l had a local train,
The truth to you I'd tell,
d run her into Clifton Ford,
Or, I'd run her into-well," !!
The doctor said, "Now George,
My darling boy, be still,
our life can yet be saved,
If it's your only will"
Oh no." says George, 81 want to die,
| want to die so free,
want to die an engineer
On One Hundred and Forty three"

sus bureau in Washington is publish
ing vital statistics for 1920 as fast as
possible to compile them, but infor-
nation gathered by the United Press
indicates that enumerators will never

Reports from cities throughout the
country show a general increase in
births the first tive months of this
year. as compared with correspond
ing period of last year. The increase
is practically uniform in all sections
Milwaukee and Seattle are the only
places reporting a decrease.
Adoptions, wherever the figures are
available. generally show even great
er ratio of increase than do births.
Persons adopting babies generally
want them extremely young. Girls
appear to have a slightly better chance
than boys for obtaining foster parents.
