Ma s a gradate of college anil she reads
She most every thing;
can talk >n French and German, she

she talks she makes .you think
Of the sweetest kind of music, and she
dosen’t smoke or drink.
0il 1 can t begin io tell you all the poems
.she can quote;
She knows more than half the lawyers do
but ma can’t vote.
When my pa is writing letters ma must
always linger near
To assist him in his spelling and to make
his meaning clear.
If he needs advice, her judgement, he ad¬
mits, is always best;
I-very day she gives him pointeis, mostly
at his own request;
She keep track of legislation, and is taxed
on bonds and stocks,
Hut she never gets a look in at the sacred
ballot box
Ma is wiser than our coachman, for lie's
not a graduate,
And I doubt if he could tell you who is
governing the state;
He has never studied grammar: and I’ll
bet he dosen.i know
W hether Caesar lived a thousand or two
thousand years ago;
He could never tell us how to keep the
ship*id state afloat,
For he dosen’t know there’s such a thing
—but Ma cant vote.
Once when Mr. Jones was calling, they
g'U up a sho;t debate.
That was on the tat iff question, Jie ^ up
.
possed he had it straight.
blit before they’d finished talking he
threw up his hands and said
he’d not read much about it nor re
membered what he'd read.
