A REALIZED AMBITION.
His name was James O'Connoll Thomas
Jefferson O'Roko;
Ho was the high school orator, and
every time ho "spoke"
The school was crowded, high and. low
and to the doors, with those
Who longed to hear the gifted boy and
see him when he rose
To Imitate great Spartacus and bid his
listeners daro
To beard the lazy Roman hosts, the
while ho sawed the air.
As Brutus he was wont to stand In
classic pose and prate
About Imperial Cresar and his sad, as
sisted fate.
As Antony he stooped to dip In Cicsar's
sacred blood
His home-made cotton handkerchief,
and thus unchain the flood
Of Roman rage; then he would smile
complaisantly and pause,
And stand unmoved amid the mighty
thunders of applause.
Ye gods! He was a hero In those old
forensic days,
And all the town spread his renown
. and boasted in his praise.
His neighbors bolstered up his fame,
and each did prophesy
That all the world should crown his
name with honoi ere ho'd die.
They swore his magic voice should
plead successfully and strong
For justice to the poor and lead in
righting freemen's wrong.
They noted how his youthful brow al
ready showed the weight
Of heavy thought and trials wrought
by cares exceeding great.
At last ho left his natlvo placo and to
the cfty wont; "
The townsfolk wept, but on his face
there shone a sago content.
"I shall bo truly great somo day," he
said within his heart;
"My voice shall never, never play a
measly second parti"
See how the kindly fates advance a
man of pluck and brains
Ho has a railway station job as "caller"
of the trains! Ex.
