CORIOUS ADVENTURES OP THE < MAN' WITH THE SEWING i MACHINE. -"■_ . Our hero'was an artisan, • Whotoilcd from mom till c'en, i Until,: one' day-, he met a> man • •: : Who sold the. WHITE Machine. This maii- the best of clothes he wore, ■ ■■ • ! And held-'a lofty mien. • ' ••• Ten thousand he had sold and more, ... Light-runniig White Machines. ' Then straightway went this artisan To all his friends of means, But found, as sooii as he'd began, ': They all had White Machines... ...-■. ; Undaunted still, he b'oldiy planned, : : His eyes bore darksome gleams,, ... ■ : . He said, " I'll seeW some foreign land, '; ' ' That aint got White Machines." \ " Tis a most visionary plan." r ,, ( . „. •■•.,.-...-. Said all, ('Tho\ well he meansi To be a'missionary man, ...,"' And sell the White Machines." / But steadfast was this artisan, .; And wiry, spry, and lean ; So off he went, his only plan, To sell, the White Machiue. . He travelled loug and very.- far, He braved the wildest scenes. From Labrador to Zanzibar \ He took his White Machines. 1 In many lands he showed his wares, In towns and valleys green, And taught folks how to" sow their tares" By : using White's Machine. .; He trod the storied land of Greece, . And 'mongst Egypt's fellahin, . He once "patched up. a little peace" - By using White's Machine. In India and Afghanistan, The Eepublic Argentine, Australia, Java and Hindostan, . : He sold the White Machine. : Among them all a wondrous change, This artisan has wrought, And, yet, it is not very strange, : , For White Machines they bought. The artisan still wanders wide (Ten years here intervene), The people run from every side To buy his White Machine. Sole Agents for Manawatu— CM. ROSS & CO. Tlie Bon Marclie.
