Hollands s Stand

Dame Holland says q rather
like her, admire her nerve and
dauntless wilD: 81 won't give
up that famous piker whose
maiden name was Kaiser Bill.
It's no use rearing round and
paving. your bluffs and pleas
will cut no ice; we need the
cordwood he is saving, since
coal is scarce and high in price
He piles up ricks of beech and
maple, he drags huge sawlogs
from afar; he whacks up elm,
which is staple wherever
hearths and ranges are. In vain
your talk, O special pleaders, in
vain your protests and your
roars; you'd like to have Bill
hew your cedars and split your
lordly sycamores. Old Bill has
laid aside his saber to saw up
logs, that pots may boil; and in
these days of high-priced labor
he asks no money for his toll.
In honest sweat his effort sleeps
him, said sweat is streaming
from his brow; no wonder,
then, that Holland keeps him,
and says she'd rather lose a cow.
