CORIOUS ADVENTURES OF THE MAN WITH THE SEWING MACHINE. Our hero was an artisan, Who ,toiled from morn till c'en, Until, one day, he met a man Who sold the White Machine. This man the best of olo£hes he wore, A«d hold a lofty mien. . t Ten thousand he had sold&nd more, Light-runniig WfeiTE Machines, < „ „ Then straightway went this artisan To all his friends of means, ■ But found, as soon as he'd began, They all had White Machines. Undaunted "still, he boldly planned;. His eyes bore darksome gleams, He said, " I'll seek souie foreign land> That aint got White Machines." " Tis a most visionary plan," Said all, " Thp 1 w^U he means, To be amissionary man, And sell the White Machines." But steadfast was this artisan, And wiryi spry, and lean ; So off he went, his only plan, To sell the White Machiue. He travelled long and very far, He braved the wildest scenes, From Labrador to Zanzibar He took his White Machines, In many lands he sho^ec! his wares, In towns and valleys green, And taught folks how to "sow their tares" ' By using White's Machine. He trod the stojied land of Greece, And 'mongst 'Egypt's fellahin, He once "patched up a little peace" By using White's Machine. In India and Afghanistan, . Ttie Republic Argentine, Australia, Java and Hindostan, He sold the Whjte 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), i The people run from every side . To buy his White Machine.
