IUM. HANDS
His hands touched various things:
Handle of pall, gate, pump, and
plow.
Frosty handle, and latch, and
string.
And stone wall mended every
spring:
\ pullet’s arid a swallow’s wings.
And apples on an apple bough.
Teats, calves and noses of his kine,
Hare, back and belly of his dog,
Tough bellies of the itching swine,
And blood of a stuck hog.
His hands groped sometimes in the
soil.
Sometimes lor stars beyond hia
toil;
The calloused hollow of his hand
Held the fat increase of the land.
Evenings, when he bowed hia head,
His hands prayed, and then broke
bread,
Undressed him finally into bed,
And, trembling with increase of life,
Reached out beside him for hia
wife

you going to name the baby?”
Frau Mulc&hey: "Well name

Madame O’Reilly: "What?
With twenty five saints to choose
from, ye name her after a nut?"
Have you looked over the Nrv
Model A Ford Town Sedan and
the New Model A Three Window
