{Printed poem inserted between pages}

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH. (1924 MODEL.)

Under an ad for gasoline

The village smithy stands;

He's agent for the Jinx machine

And several other brands.

He hasn't shod a horse for years,

For fear he'd soil his hands.

He wears a gold watch on his wrist,

A pearl pin in his tie, His links are made of amethyst,

The finest he could buy.

There's not a thing the smithy wears

That doesn't please the eye.

Week in, week out, from morn till night,

He sees the autos come

With brakes that are not working right

And axles on the bum.

With gas, repairs, and grease and oil,

He makes a tidy sum.

He has a staff of skillful men

That number twenty-four,

Who toil from six a.m. till ten

And sometimes even more.

The smithy never does a stroke-

He thinks that work's a bore.

The children coming home from school

Look in at the open door,

And laugh to see some city fool

Set up an awful roar

When called to pay some whopping bill

The smith has soaked him for.

He goes on Sunday to the kirk,

His mind quite free from cares,

Because his men are hard at work

With punctures and repairs.

And if the weather's fine and warm

The smith says grateful prayers.

Oiling-refilling-repairing.

Onward through life he goes.

And never once despairing

So long as his income grows.

Each night the thought of some one done

Augments his sweet repose.

- Percy Waxman in Harper's.
