playing "wcavily wheat and

A friend of our- was inspired
by the recent cold spell to de-
scribe his experience in the fol-
lowing verses which he handed
us:
We w -re crowded in the shanty.
Not a smi! of us that s-lept.
It was miitnijrht on 1-he prairie,
As a ' norther'' on as crept.
Tis a fearful thins in Texas
To be * 'shook up'' by the blast,
And to hear the cold wind whistle
As it sweeps along so fast.
Thus we shivered there in silence
'Neath the covery very li^ht,
Rather than to search for more
On this cold and storuiy night
So we topijhed it our till morning
ilnt of sleep we did dispair,
• * Boys get up'' our father shouted
From the bottom of the stair
Then he gently said to mother
As he took her by the hand,
"Joste yon must milk old Brindle.
•' Cause fr r me she will not stand. '
We put on our summer trousers
For no others had we near.
And we shivered round the fireside
When the morn was shining clear.
