Who has fared to the West, in endeavor, and has lived close to the earth as he can. The transit and compass. his burdens: the Northern Pacific, his line: -- Sixty miles of whose early construction, of his own was the plan and design; Many years, in the service of railroads, in the West, as well as in Maine; On Montana's broad acres, a rancher - with his flocks on the hill and the plain; And now at his home, up in Bethel, the loveliest village out-door He renews all his boyhood's diversions, in his life on the hill and the moor; The camp and the woods, for his hunting. where the moose and the deer, he has shot And the home, where the outlook entrancing uplifts a man's soul on the spot; And in business - not quite a diverslon, but something to rest by its change - He has honors that pass not, in the telling, but grow as they come into range: In short, he is just as he's pictured - a man whom it's a pleasure to meet And who lives with a rare joy of the living. in comfort and kindness replete.
