MR. HJALMAR EDBLAD OF HOULTON.
HE came to Maine from over the seas, In '71. Not as a "tripper!" No sir-ree! "Twas not for fun. I've heard them say that, on the day. He reached the shore, He jingled thrippence in his jeans; He had no more. No! I am wrong. It wasn't all. He had the pluck! And he had the winning way, with him, And that beats Luck. And now—up Houlton way, Get Edblad's name; Don't bother 'bout the cash. It's just the same. So when a man thru honest work Gets into power, We rather think he's fit to make The "Man of the Hour."
