Author's note: Being a resume of humorous and pathetic deeds of heroism, etc., episodes in the annals of "Mining at Home and Abroad."
"They have toasted with a thousand toasts all sorts of styles of men,
From the gallant soldier at the front, to the man who weilds the pen;
But they've missed one honest fellow, and I'm raising now a kick
That they didn't make a mention of the 'MAN BEHIND THE PICK.'"
