(An', bain' aix an' six, wi said,
"Thar'e one apieca for each!")
But how could any folka lika us that
walked tha cotton row
An' mada an' marked the inilom an'
coaxed the corn ter grow
Think that he'd let a gal o' his coma

To hear a poor chap askin' far the hand

But atill we kep' our distance till in

The Christmas horns wuz blowin' an'

An' then the old man saya ter us:
"Come inl It's Christmas day,
An' I've got aome purty presents that

said: "We're 'bleeged ter you.
But, with all yer daughtera give away,

An' then the old man winked at me an'
whispered mighty low!
"Aa fer the gals, 'twuz gittin' time fer

the biting cold made them shiver and
stamD their feet to try to keep warm,
There were thirty policemen on hand
to keep the line, but they bad little to
do. Tbe cripples were given the prefer
with no word of protest from
their more fortunate fellows.
The dinner was tbe personal gift of
"Big Tim," and out of his purse there
were provided 5.000 loaves or tireaa
1,500 pounds of turkey, 1,000 pounds of
fhioL-on 1.000 no'.mds of duck, 7.000
tiles, eight barrels of potatoes for sal
nd. 10.000 cups of coffee and thirty

As each man filed out he was handed

for a pair of shoes.
"Little Tim" Sullivan was the master
of ceremonies.
