p warning signs over every fence-post on the
premises.

Lots of money is said to bring lots of trouble. But, Lord, our shoulders
are mighty broad and we always did think we would like to have
experiences of that kind.

Trudge Along.

Trudge along, my brother,
Through the snows!
Over yonder wait the summer
And the rose.

Trudge along, my brother,
Trudge along!
Over yonder wait the angels
And the song!

A Fine Job.

"Ah done tole yuh, Mose, howsomevah de people conflastahgate, dese heah
legislachuh pohsishuns am sho'ly de bes' places in all de wide woahld
dat a cullahed man ebber had in de wintah time when de wood am skeerce
en de snow flyin' high!"

"How come, Rastus?"

all de res' ob de time while anothah niggah shubbles in de coal whut
anothah niggah totes in at de same good price!"

many of us never get up or down!

Lord, we don't ask to see a thousand miles ahead. All we want is light
enough to keep out of the holes two feet ahead when the Devil gets after
us.

Some folks are always boasting of how many miles they keep ahead of the
Devil, but I'm always thankful when I just manage to keep out of his
reach when he's grabbing at me.

Never Mind the Hills.

What matter the hills above us?
What matter the dismal road?
We're climbing to those that love us
And crossing to their abode;
And over the mountains we'll crown our quest
With beautiful blossoms of all that's best!

He Voted "Graft".

He was quite a famous statesman
From a district where the folk
Were so honest that their honor
Had become a standing joke;
But this man that represented
