Was Georgie washington's birthday.
This will DO news to quito q lot
Who had the blessed day forgot.
We mention it because you know
II is our duty to do go
Not that We think il worth the while &.
Your random thoughts to thus bsguile
Fol Gecrgie has been dead, we hear,
For many q long and weary year;
And II that way tho matter Is

1t must be gratifying to the starv-
ing people of Ireland TO know that
a fellow over here has composed a

little girl who would call him papa
If she were not too fresh for utter
