This particular, morn the old farm
house
Has been cleaned from top to
bottom;
Tho windows glisten in the sun
shine,
Apd ruffled, white curtains
Are looped back in old-fashioned
style.
Shiny pans bang here and there
In the spotless kitchen;
On the stove are many utensils,
From which delicious odors arise
Of baked apples, strawberry short -
.cake,
Broiled chicken, wonderful flaky
biscuits,
And. I almost forgot to mention
A dish of hot doughnuts, placed
to cool.
On the shelf by tho door.
A Tittle, old. woman is ’’puttering*'
around,
Spreading the table' with a snowy,
coarse, cloth.
Giving a touch to some dish of
--food.
Stopping a moment to look wist
fully out the door
At the wide road.
And to brush the perspiration from
her brow.
Smoking his pipe a bent, old, man
Is sitting on tho porch;
Sprawled .at his feet is the old
dog.
Patting tho old dog's head, y
Tho old man straining his eyes
Peers up the shady, winding road,
too.
With his nore In tho air -y
Tho dog’s eyes follows his gaze.
As if he understood
Something unusual were about to
happen.
Tho place Is redolent with Wis
taria
Hanging In festoons, from the
porch.
Around which buzzing bees are
busy.
An air of expectancy prOvades the
• scene.
"Mother." calls the old man,
T heard the train blow just
awhile ago,
Son will be here soon, I finow.”
A far-away Jook creeps in her
eyes,
Her worn face is aglow with
smiles
Unlike any others—except proud
mothers.
Soft, chubby hands again she feels
Caressing her once fair cheek. ^
In the city, a youth
Had “been out with tho boys”
Another case of "moonshine and
song"
Is called In court.
Sober and repentant, head bowed
with shame,
He Is brought before the Judge,
With slow, measured step
Down the aisle he came,
Said, "Your Honor, wiin |g thr
I will pay It.
My own mother’s heartachse
With pangs of regret I remember,
And if one mother’s tears.I can
prevent,
My money is well spent.
What more beautiful could be
Than that dear old’ mother,.
Her hea-rt singing with Joy
Cn,thi8 oa{£l day of her boy?”
