WHAT LACK WE YET
When Washing on was President,
AS cold az any Iclcle,
He never on a railway went
And never rode bicycle.
He read by no electric lamp.
Nor heard about the Yellowstone;
He never licked a ostaQe stamp,
And never saw telephone.
His trousers ended at the knees,
BY wire he colld not words dispatch:
He Il led his lamp with whale oil grease,
And never had match to scratch.
But in these days It's come to pase,
II work is with such dashing done,
We've all these thngs-but then. aIasi
Weseem to have no Washington.
