CO RIO US 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 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 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 some foreign land, That aint got White Machines." " Tis a most visionary plan," ' Said all, " Tho' well he means, 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, 1 To sell the White Machine. He travelled loug aad-=very far, He braved the wildest scenes, From Labrador to Zanzibar He took his White Machines. 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 tlie 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 Republic 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 — C. M. ROSS & CO. Tlie Bon Marche.
