time in years there are coming
to this country sopranos who, ac

of the Italian operatic stage as

A FAVORITE POEM: "LITTLE BOY BLUE

Reprinted from The Progressive Farmer. .. .
Naturally enough, the pathos of Eugene Field's
"Little Boy 'Blue" won it a place in the recent bal
loting for favorite poems by Progressive Farmer
.readers; and mention of it also calls to mind the un
forgettable passage in "David Harum" where Vi the
old man says: "When I lost my little boy, I didn't on
ly lose him as he was, but I ben losin' him over and
over again all these years. What he'd 'a' been when
he was so old; an' what when he'd got to be a big
boy; an' what he'd V -ben 'when he went mebbe to
college; an' what he'd 'a' ben afterward, an' up to
now. Of course the times wheal..-. & man stuff & his 8
