A RANCHMAN'S COMPLAINT. i When all the girls are teachers , Stenographers and preachers , Potographers and printers , Doctors , lawyers , even sprinters , O , who will cook our dinners ? For men must eat ; the sinners ! And when sickness binds the mother , And our fears we have to smother ; Have to strive with the house-keeping" . Strive with cooking- , washing , sweep- ing" , And the little children weeping , While black despair comes creeping ; Comes the girl of health and muscle , Who can get around and hustle ; Who can lift the housewife's burden ; Whose kindness wins a guerdon Of love and admiration From the wise ones of the nation. She can make the bread and butter , She can wash and sweep to utter All her praises I'm not able ; But to sit down to the table , You will say , may Heaven bless her ! And the children all caress her. When 'ic ' softly sinirs to babv , The \\et-t thought comes tliat may be You can win her for your treasure , And your joy have full measure In the home you plan to build And your heart with hope is thrilled. She's accomplished and so pretty , She's so modest and so witty ; There's few like her in this region. I would her name were legion ; This sweet girl of health and muscle With no use for pads or bustle. E'en yet you'll find her here and there , May God defend her everywhere. Of school-ma'ams there's a plenty , From sweet sixteen to twent } * ; And of typist and of clerk Who , house work calmly shirk ; We've enough and some to spare , You'll find THEM everywhere.
