The Man Who Feeds Us
Let's not despise just common
things,
For here's a truth there is no
dodging,-
The bird that scars on proudest
wings &c.,.
Comes down to earth for
board and lodging.
Seers, poets, warriors, men of
fame,
The salesman who with Wis
dom leads U.s.
Do we'll enough, but, just the
same,
The farmer is the man who
feeds us.
We're alwayshearing, more Or
less,
About the bard's "divine
aff1atus,"
He'd not get very far, we guess
Without some bacon and po-
tatoes.
So let who will of highbrows
sing,
And spurn, if spurn they
must, this dross age,
We'd better stick to those who
bring,
The buckwheac cakes and
homemade sausage.
Betimes it's very nice to rant
About the soul or heart or
gizzard,
Yet he who takes normal
slant
And views himself from A to
lizard
Finds that while other organs
serve
To make him more than just
a dummy,
His one big svr1pathetic nerve
Has its headquarters in the
tummy.

music for the service in the morning.
There was much beautiful music al

about it all.
II WISH" Howard said, "that he'd
stop practicing the Christmas music
and play us wedding march"
"Perhaps he would" said Elizabeth.
'Do you mean it?' Howard shouted.
ooh yes, my dear, of course l mean
it. You've not said Il word about
marrying the last four times I've seen
you and I've been about to do it my
self. The people-they tried to keep
me from seeing how wonderful you

you what they saw in yeu-not giving
me a chance to see for myself"
The organist played the wedding
march. The clergyman came over
hurriedly to marry them, bringing two
witnesses with him.
"The Christmas bells and the we'd
ding bells are joining together for

They took the basket which had
had the presents in it back home.
Then they announced to all the peo-

"Merrie Christmas !" everyone
wished them. But Elizabeth answered,
