Show A Sanctum Favorite "The Old Oaken Bucket' ' has long enjoyed supremacy as a pastoral classic, clas-sic, but the rural editor's heart vill beat responsibly to this little jxi rody: How dear to our heart is the steady subscriber Who pays in advance at the birth of each year, Who lays down the money and does it quite glidly. And casts 'round the office a halo of cheer. He neversays, "Stop it; I cannot afford af-ford it; I'm getting more papers now than I can read." But always says, "S.md it; our people all like it, In fact we all think it a help and a need." How welcome his check when it reaches our sanctum, How it makes our pulse throb, how it make3 our heart dance! We outwardly thank him, we inwardly in-wardly bless him The steady subscriber who pay3 in advance. |
