The Snow! the beauti- ul snow; Causing dhcominrt wherever you go, Sifting right through each crevice and crack, thn'bfi.ai cold chills creep up your acks Filling the 'p'bor with sorrow and woe. Oh, don't talk to me of the beautiful snow. Ye Poets who sit by a warm fireside And write of the things you never haye tried, ) Go work in the timber when it’s forty elow, Then see what you think of the beau- tiful snow. Or go to Dakota where the strong breeczes blow And pile up great drifts of the beau- tiful snow. Where men freeze to death ten yards from thein door. b Just try it up there for one winter o: ‘more, And methinks you will cry in the depths of your woe, “Qh, deliver me Lord, from the beau- 1.snow.” Go sit as I heve sat, with eyes band- aged tight, In a close, darkened room where one ray of light , Will- send shooting pain from your head to.your toe, And youw'll not care to gaze on the 2 beantiful snow. Or go ta the slims where they barter " their soul For an armful of wood or a bucket of coal; Then write from experience and let everyone know Just ‘'what you think of the beautiful show. —C. A.
