BIRD OF ILL OMEN
A raven comes each morn at
five and roosts upon my shack, I’d
like to skin that bird alive and breal?
his cussed back. His voice was
ruined long ago—he needs to have
it filet}—and when he squawks his
notes of woe he nearly drives me
.a ijd. Id rather have some drunk
en stiff on my yeranda sing, and
now and then my wash tub biff and
dance a jigg, by jing! A sow caught
in a barb-wire fence has sweeter
voice, by far; some day I'll show
that raven, hence, the pearly gates
ajar.
What the world needs nowadays
is some wizard who can supply
300,000,000 ounces of silver a year
to India and China and other silver
standard nations; at least 200,000,
000 ounces of silver a yfear to the
mints of the worfd for coinage; about
$12,000,000 a year silver backing
for at least ten years to validate
part of the huge issues ot paper
currency put out during the war;
give 60,000,000 ounces to the arts
and trades out of a total world pro
duction estimated at less than 260,
000,000 ounces. Ownership of a silver
producing mine is a guarantee of
prosperity for the next few years at
least.
While there is nothing to suggest
brilliancy of thought in the first
fine, the second line in the old
nursery jingle:
Sing a song of sixpense,
A pochet full of rye,
shows not only unusual brilliancy
of thought, but of sentiment as
well.—Douglas Island News.
