went they heard it; You fellows keep out of there—That place which shakes and quivers and quakes—it is making coal for Baer. The carboniferous era consumed but a million years; It started when earth was shedding the last of her baby tears,When still she was swaddled softly in clumsily tied on clouds,When stars from the shop of nature were being turned out in crowds;But high oer the favored section this sign said to all: Bew^are!Stay back of the ropes that surround these slopes—they are making coal for Baer! (From The Game of Life) By Bolton Hall (American lawyer and single-taxer, born 1854) They sheared the lamb twelve times a year, To get some money to buy some beer;The lamb thought this was extremely queer— Poor little snow-white lamb!—Old Song. GOD tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, saidthe deacon.I will shut the gate of the field so as to keep himwarm, said the philanthropist. If you give me the tags of wool, said the charityclipper, Ill let the poor creature have half.
