PUGH’S GOLD
A wise man from the middle West.
Found a chunk of gold, he guessed.
This wise man known as “Old Man
Pugh”,
Sat and studied what he'd do.
"A trip around the world”, said he.
“Alaska sure is good to me!
I’ll set, this gay old globe on end,
And show the home—folks how to spend.
This hunk ol gold will see me through
\\ ith some to spare, smiled Mister
Pugh.
' Yet—Farmer Pugh, t hese sourdoughs
i say—should be buck home a-piiching
hay.
| The old sourdough is but a fool,
Worse than a Missouri mule.
' He tramps the hills in search of wealth,
i But lie’s too slow to freeze himself.
I While I - with acheckako’s luck.
I Find this nugget in the muck,
i It's smooth sis glass and glaaier-worn,
i The color of Missouri corn.
I'll work this claim with a Number Two
'Said the new-made miner Pugh.
I'll strip the hills ol birch and spruce.
And show these sourdoughs how to
sluice.
j He started in to work his claim,
j And worked just like a house aflame.
| He rigged a sort of rabbit - snare
j To catch the gold-dust in the air.
! A pretty shovel, he could throw, and
I send that muck a mile or so:
To see him make that black muck fly
i Would make an old time miner sigh.
I A whiskered sourdough saw him toil.
Saw him scoop that powdered soil.
Saw the famous mucker Pugh move
| more dirt than a ditcher crew.
Saiii \\ hi.skcrs. to banl-working I*u«li:
Thiit sort of mining j.ooms quite new.
^ou wouldn't catch ;i grain of gold.
In a thousand tons of that black mould
It \ou had that soil .somewhere Outside,
^ tni ,n>Kht raise spuds both boiled and
fried.
I guess you've been too long up h«*re.
And missed too many boats I fear.
Said the expert puglt. "that’s till you
know,
1 savvey where ilia nuggets grow.
"I his piece ot gold so smooth and round,
I picked up in this black-muck ground.
"And furthermore I wish to say
I come 1 rom down Missouri wav.
The good old corn-fed. show-me state:
Your miningknowledge comes too late.''
Ha! Ha! Old Whiskers laughed aloud.
You "show me" fellers should be proud.
And it it’s so—you must be shown.
That ‘ piece of gold" is a gilded stone.
It wouldn't fool a ten-year old,
That worthless piece of phoney gold.
Some sourdough must have set the bait,
To catch the man from Missouri state.
COOLIDGE WILL NOT VISIT
ALASKA
Seattle— In a dispatch to the
Seattle Times yesterday, their
Washington correspondent said
that President Coolidge would
not visit the Pacific Coast nor
Alaska this year, as his wife
who had noted the tragic visits
of Wilson to the Western states
and former President Harding
to Alaska, had strongly couns
elled against the journey.
