Oh, how fur, how fur Civilization has traveled since she left the Lotus land.

And she hadn't better set down yet and fold her hands.

She's got a good many jobs before her that I could pint out to her right here in America.
And there wuz a hull Egyptian tomb, mummies, ancient pottery, necklaces and beads took out of old Egyptian tombs.

Oh, where wuz the throbbin' hearts that beat agin them with boundin' life and joy?
So much stronger and greater than the fragile things, yet gone to dust and ashes centuries ago, while these senseless toys outlive 'em and are brought thousands of milds to be looked on by a strange race.

And there wuz scarabes, symbols, strange lookin' things as I ever see and piles on 'em.
And there wuz a display showing how they first started fire, which they worshipped when first discovered as the Red Flower God, and everything up to its present development.
