THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York FOOTNOTES: [1] This appears, pages seventy-four through eighty-one, in _General Booth and Other Poems_. [2] This appears, pages seventy-four through eighty-one, in _General Booth and Other Poems_. [3] In the prose sketches in this book I have allowed myself a story-teller’s license only a little. Sometimes a considerable happening is introduced that came the day before, or two days after. In some cases the events of a week are told in reverse order. Lady Iron-Heels is obviously a story, but embodies my exact impression of that region in a more compressed form than a note-book record could have done. The other travel-narratives are ninety-nine per cent literal fact and one per cent abbreviation. [4] Portions of this poem are scattered through this book for interludes. Others are already printed in _General Booth and Other Poems_. TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES: Italicized text is surrounded by underscores: _italics_. Emboldened text is surrounded by equals signs: =bold=. Obvious typographical errors have been corrected. Inconsistencies in hyphenation have been standardized. Archaic or alternate spelling has been retained from the original.
