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-runni ig 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' wellhe 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. To sell the White Machiue. He travelled lougand 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 thg 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 (Teu years here intervene), The people run from every side To buy his White Machine. Sole Agents for Manawatu — ' C. M. ROSS & CO. ! The * Bon Marche.
