There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle, 'Twas St. P a trick himself sure that set it; And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile, And with dew from his eye often wet it. It thrives through the bog, through the brake, and the mireland ; And he called it the dear little shamrock of Ireland­ The sweet little shamrock, the dear little shamrock, The sweet little, green little, shamrock of Ireland!

This dear little plant still grows in our land; Fresh and fair as the daughters of Erin, Whose smiles can bewitch, whose eyes can command, In each climate that they may appear in; And shine through the bog, through the brake, and the mireland, Just like their own dear little shamrock of Ireland. The sweet little shamrock, the dear little shamrock, The sweet little, green little, shamrock of Ireland!.

This dear little plant that springs from our soil, When its three leaves are extended, Denotes that on one stalk we together should toil, And ourselves by ourselves be befriended ; And still through the bog, through the brake, and the mireland. From one root should branch, like the shamrock of Ireland. The sweet little shamrock, the dear little shamrock, The sweet little, green little, shamrock of Ireland! ANDREW CHERRY ( 1762-1812) .

Twenty-Six The Man Who Didn't Succeed They sing of the men who build the mills And girdle the earth with steel; Who fill the hour and wield the power That molds the public weal. Honor to them that in honor do The work that the world must need, And yet in chief I hold a brief For the man who didn't succeed.

'Tis not to excuse the indolent; No plea for the down and out; Nor specious rot condemning what The leaders are about. Merely to ask in a casual way Of those who chance to read, For fairer view, and kinder, too, Of the man who didn't succeed.

His house is small, his table light, His family must endure The snubs and sneers of the buccaneers Whose debts fall on the poor. Yet his is a home and no hotel, His wife is a wife, indeed, There's nothing above his children's Jove To the man who didn't succeed.

Admitting it's true that he did not make The most of his talents ten, He won no pelf nor raised himself At the cost of his fellow men. His .hands are clean, his heart is white, His honor has been his creed­ Now who are we to say that he ls the man who didn't succeed? -Peter Reed.

As I whistle, and smoke, and hammer, I hear, Beneath all the laughter and chaff that goes on, A low, steady beat that is muffled and sweet, Yet, soft though it be, it is mighty and strong.

'Tis not with the ear that I hear this strange sound, 'Tis merely the inner-man catches the tune, As the rain on the eaves or the rustling leaves In midst of our dreams on .a sweet night in June.

'Tis the throbbing and pulsing of many strong hearts­ The whisper of spirits united in rhyme; Much joy and some pain can be heard in the strain, As always in songs of a long ago time.

I hail you, old comrades, and drink your good health; I hear your sweet singing, so sad yet so gay! I hail you and greet you, and soon I shall meet you, For I'll be a Grad, too, by next Patrick's day!

Thirty-One The Rhymes of the Re-Survey By R. Sidney Bartram. PART I. Now this is the tale of the labours performed by a survey gang A way in the back of the wild lanes, where nobody cares a hang; Where the brown bear prowls in the thicket, and the screech owl splits the night, And skunks and other blossoms sweet, yield scents of rare delight.

When grey the dawn is breaking, your duties are begun, · Throughout the hours of daylight you labor with the sun; And when the shadows lengthen, and the stars are shining bright, You take a shot at the polar star in the middle of the night.

You sleep in a dis-used box car, on a bed of boughs of spruce, But there's nothing to get by kicking, so what in hell's the use? You dine on pork and cabbage, on pork and beans you sup, And there's pork next day for a breakfast, dish, to clear the remnants up.

You pump a rusty hand-car for seven miles down the track, And the sweat runs into your eyebrows, and you Jong to ease your back. With picket, chain and transit, you run the traverse through For seven miles, or maybe ten; as much as you can do.

You sit on a rotting deadfal/, and open a can of pork, And eat a hasty dinner, with fingers for a fork.; Then on you go with the traverse, as hard as you can push, Till the shades of night are falling fast, o'er swamp and track and bush.

And then you hurry homeward, to the supper waiting there, And think of your lousy spruce-bunk, and the sleep that knows no care; But, swinging round a rock-cut, you "make a meet" with a freight, And "Safety First" is a maxim sound, so you leave the car to its fate.

T h irty-Two The car is smashed to splinters, which pleases the engineer, While you stand and swear in chorus, but only the night winds hear. So you shoulder the blasted transit, the picket, axe and chain, And start to tramp it homewards, a dozen miles in the rain.

At last, when the stars are shining, and the moon is swinging low, You reach the cars on the siding, foot-sore and full of woe; You kick while you eat your supper, you ,grouse when you go to bed, And curse all night at the chap who snores, and wish that you were dead.

But somehow, in the morning, you wake as fresh as paint, Although last night you thought the life would demoralize a saint; And you gather the junk together, and out on the line you go, For another day's hard labour, in rain, or sun, or snow.

But to-day is no track traverse, it's Township Jines in the bush, And your axe bites deep of the cedar, and down she comes with a rush. You splash your way through the muskeg, you flounder across the creek, And flies and "skeeters" drink their fill till you feel too mad to speak.

But it's not bad work in the summer, it's rather fine in the fall, But in the good old winter it's the greatest job .of all; With frozen ears and fingers, and nose that you cannot feel, You laugh aloud with your stiffened lips, for your doing the work that's real.

And so it was in the Beginning, and so it is to-day, And so it shall be to the end of things, when you are taken away; Until you are made into Angels, with transit, and tape and chain, You will work for the darned old C. P. R., World without End.

Amen.

Thirty-Three PART II. The Next World

Now this is the fate of surveyors, who Jove their beer too well, They must do their work in Hades, surveying the bounds of hell; They must blaze their trail through the darkness, they must run the Line of Regret, Till the Hubs of Hell are planted well, and the Devil's Corner set.

And this is the fate of the Draughtsman, a red hot compass and pen And a red hot draughting table, for ever and ever. Amen. He must draw the Things as he sees It, with a Flag on every Hub, Till a white hot print of the Bounds of Hell is passed by Beezelbub.

And the Picketmen and Chainmen must set a witness stake, Well squared and truly numbered, in the midst of the Burning Lake They must drag the chain forever, and measure every Jot Through bush that burns but never wastes, and swamp that's always hot.

And the Cook who cooked their dinner, oh! what shall be his fate? Shall he stand beside the furnace door, and fill a fiery plate? Oh, no, he shall stand in the corner, away from the furnace heat. He had it hot on the cook car, so now he shall cool his feet.

For surveyors and all their outfit are sinners beyond recall, They hold no law but the law of might, which gives to the mightiest all. So he who has learned his lesson, who has served his year and a day May sin to the full of his heart's content, and none shall say him "Nay."

But the Devil stands in the Gates of Hell, to see who each may be, When an 0. L. S. is sighted, he rubs his hands with glee, He calls aloud to his stokers, "Ha, stoke the furnace well, Here's another surveyor coming along, we must make him hot in hell."

If you can swing an axe, or wield a brush hook, Or drive a stake, or drag a chain all day. If you can scribble "figgers" in a note book, Or shoot a range pole half mile away. If you can sight a transit or a level, Or move a target up and down a rod. If you fear neither man, nor devil, And know your self and trust the living God.

If you can wade a swamp, or swim a river, Nor fear the deeps, nor yet the dizzy heights. If can stand the cold without a shiver, And take the Higgin's ink to bed o'nights. If you can turn a thumb screw with your fingers, When every digit's like a frozen thumb. If you can work as the daylight lingers, And not complain, nor think you are GOING SOME.

If you can sight through tropic heat's refraction. Or toil all day beneath a blistering sun. If you c-an find a sort of satisfaction, In knowing that you've got a job well done. If you can be an esquimo and nigger, And try to be a gentleman, to boot. If you can use a "guessin' stick" to figger · And know a co-efficient from a root.

If your calculus and descriptive are forgotten, And your algebra just serves you fairly well. If your drafting and your lettering are rotten, And your Trautwine's always handy by to tell. If you close a traverse without fudgin', Or check a line of levels by a foot. If you can set a slope stake just by judgin', And never kicked a tripod with your foot.

Forty-Four If you can run a line where you are told, And make it stay somewhere on the map. If you can read your notes when they get cold, And know that contours mustn't ever lap. If you can line a truss or tap a rivet, Or make a surley foreman come across. If you can take an order, well as give it, And not have secret pity for the boss.

If you can climb a stool and not feel lowly, Nor have your head turned by a swivel chair. If you can reach your judgments slowly And make your rulings always just and fair. If you can give yourself and all that's in you And make the others give their own and best, too. If you can handle men of brawn and sinew, And like the men and make •em like you, too.

If you can't boast a college education, Or, if you've got a sheep-skin, can forget. If you get a living wage for compensation, And give a little more than what you get. If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat them without favor, or with fear, You'll be a man-and your own master, But-what is more-you'll be an E-N-G-1-N-E-E-R.

Fifty -Seven lling C!elrctticitpt 1, ~oltloqup I watched mankind throughout the centuries, Watched as he struggled from the jungle depths And battled with the monsters of the world; Often I laughed his puny strength to scorn, And smote him, on the highlands and the seas He felt my swift electric thunderbolts; They crashed upon his habitations frail, Or seared his struggling sails on the deep. For I, a king, could sweep the field of space And make a playground of the land and sea.

But as the silent centuries passed on Mankind won wisdom with the hard wrought years, And I, who had been freer than the winds, Became a servant of the hosts of man: To flood with light his teeming city streets, To drive the whirling wheels of his mills, Or leap with messages from strand to strand, A fallen monarch and a conquered king! GEORGE B. STAFF.

When the man who reads the meter comes around to take a look, We are apt to tell him kindly that his meter is a crook And a double-dyed exceeder of the limit set for speed, Faster than a modern racer of the eighty H. P. breed.

We inform him that we're thinking of removing all the wires And of going back to candles or the oil lamps of our sires To escape the awful bills we get-which talk, we seem to think, Will arrest the maddened meter ere it plunges o'er the brink.

But the meter keeps on meting; and we find that, after all, When we figure the convenience, the expense is really small; And we brag to our friends because our light bills are so low. And this railing at the meter! Just a custom, don't you know.

Sixty-Five 1 n tbt 1Labotatotp He gave his time to science, cold and grim; The lighter joys of life were not for him. Good-fellowship passed by with jovial port And left him to his test-tube and retort. With men he wore an air reserved and grave And few to him the hand of friendship gave. Love's happy laughter or the song of bird Came floating through his window unheard. In vain the summer called from stream and hill, Above his endless task he bended still.

Yet, for that joyless work, ten thousands came, In later time, to bless his very name. Through him men walked who, but for him, had lain In hopeless beds of feebleness and pain And babes grew up to be their parents pride Who, had his work been dropped, had surely died; And to the wards where fever gasped for breath He stretched his hand and closed the door on death. His task was dull, his life seemed one of gloom, But Love worked with him in that quite room. WALTER G. DoTY.

Sixty-Eight I sometimes think I'll quit this life And settle down and get a wife, By Jove! Sometimes I think ·that I would love To have some place that I could call home And settle down, no more to roam. But Hell that very thing I've tried, And found myse'f di~satisfied ! I've often tried to settle down To office work and live in town And act like civilized folks do, Take in the shows and dances, too. But I'd no more than get a start 'Till "Wanderlust" would seize my heart And in my night dreams I would see The great white silence calling me. And at the chance I'd never fail To drop it all and hit the trail Back to the solitudes again, With transit, level, rod and chain, To lead the simple life once more And do the same thing o'er and o'er, Day after day and week after week. Sometimes we would go in town to seek, A little fun and, sometimes-well, Sometimes we raise a little Hell. We don't mean to, but then you see, When we've been out two months or three In places silent where the face, Of white man seems so out of place, Well-when we hit, "THE GREAT WHITE WAY" Our joyful spirits get full sway- We try to crowd into one night The joys of many months, "'Tain't right?" Well, maybe not! 'Tis not for me To shape our final destiny, But when our last survey is done And tied up to the "GREAT UNKNOWN." And to the Chief our seconds brought Of lonely work with danger fraught, Of hardships cheerfully endured That results might be secured, Against this our little sprees Will seem as ponds compared to seas. And the angels surely will decide There's a balance on the credit side, And God, I think will drop a tear And bless the "Hobo Engineer."

Sixty-Nine Beside a western water tank, One cold December day, Inside an empty box-car, A dying Engineer lay, His old pal Fritz stood beside him, With low and drooping head, List'ning to his last words. The dying Engineer said: 'Tm going to a better land, Where everything is bright, Where beef stews grow on bushes, And you sleep out every night. You don't have to work at all And never change your socks. And streams of "Old Crow" whiskey, Come trickling down the rocks. Tell the bunch of "Old Mizzo" That my face they no more will view; Tell them not to weep for me-, No tears in their eyes must lurk, For I'm going to a land, Where they hate the word called work. Hark! I hear her whistling; I must catch her on the fly, I would like a scoop of Falstaff Beer, Once more before I die."

The Engineer stopped, his head fell back, He'd sang his last refrain. Old pal Fritz swiped his hat and coat. And caught the eastbound train.
