His horse dropped dead and his m0le

And he lost three cows in a poker

Then cyclone came on summers
day
And carried the home where he lived
away;
Then the taxcoIector he came around
And charged him up with a hole in
the ground;
Their the village marshal he hove in
view
And made him settle his street tax,
too
Did ne grieve when his old friends
failed to call?
When the cyclone came and swal-
lowed all?
Did he moan, or sigh did he weep or
cry?
Did he curse the hurricane sweeping
by?
No; No! Not he, but he climbed on
Where standing room was left him
And taking his hat from his old bald
head,
With poise sublime he gently said.
