H® E’S something like a busy scene !— Alaska, glaciers, railroads, lovers And Crafty Financiers, between A pair of gold and scarlet covers. “The Iron Prince”, they call O'Neil, Whom Fortune always dealt four aces; He toiled to spin two threads of steel Across Alaska’s roughest places. And while he made this Iron Trail He had to foil at every station One Gordon, villain of this tale, A Specialist in Machination, Before the road was well begun Appeared, to make the story brighter, Eliza Vi'let Appleton, That clever lady special writer.

WETZEL New York City 17 W. 42ad Street She wrote and published reams and reams About Alaskan projects mazy, Which punctured. Gordon’s wicked schemes And ultimately drove him crazy. But now our Trail: I figure out It had to traverse wild abysses, An earthquake plus a water-spout, With sundry glacial precipices. Yet more: O'Neil at any price Was forced to bridge the worst of rivers, Composed of cataracts of ice, Which tore all common work to slivers. While Winter gripped with fingers cold That devastating stream, he spanned it. Then down the springtide freshet rolled ;— Ah, could his puny structure stand it? The bridge stood fast! He'd .won! he'd won! Now let his plotting foes deride him! He turned—and brave Miss Appleton Was sitting there, alone, beside him, To her upon that lordly span He told his love. She breathed a sighlet, Then coyly kissed the lucky man And_ sweetly murmured, “Call me Vi'let "! ; Arthur Guiterman. Crowds “A cupful of common sense with a quart of idealism poured over it.
