Trying to remember old poem

[jkl]

all I can remember is ... Jones had a hobby of stones, he gathered them up by the score and .....
The poem was about a man who collected stones and sorted and pileed them pu around the house. His wife said that the piles would be the death of her.

Thanks jkl

The poem is "Benjamin Jones and his Stones" from a collection called
"LET'S TRAVEL ON - The New Work-Play Books" Book 5 (1939)
By Arthur Irving Gates, Miriam Blanton Huber, Jean Y. Ayer, Celeste Comegys Peardon

Here is some info on it, but it's scanty:
GoogleBooks Result (http://books.google.com/books?id=pk8OAQAAIAAJ&dq=Jones+had+a+hobby+of+stones&q=drop+on+my+nose)

I did find, however that ALIBRIS, the online antique bookseller,
has several copies of it available. If you use their search engine
put in: Let's Travel On Arthur Gates
