But COW did you come TO US, you dear!
God thought OF you and so am here
The home of j. D. Houston has been
blessed and the lives Of its two inmates
rounded out and made more complete by
the advent into its sacred precincts of a
daughter, baby-a blue-eyed girl baby.
Sentiment, whether embodied in prose or
in the measures OF easy flowing rhythm
can never equal the secret joy of new
mother, or the conscious pride of father
in his first born. Any member of the bar
may be comparatively safe in addressing
the head of the Houston house as Joseph

world at large, as constituted OF average
humanity would be more sure of recogni-
if it tipped its hat and smiled its congratu-
