The Hospital Pallet ()N a hospital pallet, his mangled form Was gently laid by those stalwart men, Who had carried him swiftly through the storm From the vorid he never should sec again, He'd been badly crushed on the railroad track 'Neath the wheels of the iron Juggernaut; And the surgeon said he would ne'er go back To his cheerless life and his weary lot, N "Write quickly a letter,' the wand'rer said, And the rough patrolman grasped a pen, "My mother 1 Oh I tell her I am not dead And that I am coming home again I" "What more?" said the writer-he knew full well, ' Tvas a race between his pen and Death "Where docs she live?
