but look at the cost Of our State

rAE DEAD DOLL

You need not be trying to comfort me, !
tell you my dolly is dead;
There's no use saying she isn't, with a
crack like that In her head.
It's just like you said it wouldn't hurt
much to have my tooth out that day,
And then when the man most pulled my
head off you hadn't a word to sayl
When my mamma CAV me that ribbon
was playing out in the yard
She said to me most expressly, Here's a
ribbon for H~ildegarde,"
And | went and put it on Tabby and Hill
degarde ia me do 1t.
And | said to myself, "Oh, never mind, l
don't believe she knew It"
But l know that she knew 1t now, and l
just believe. l do,
That her poor little heart was broken, ana
so her head broke, too.
oh, my dollyl my little babyl i wish my
head had been hit, .
For I've hit 1t over and over and 1t hasn't
cracked a bitl
But, since the darling is dead, she'll want
TO be buried. of course;
We will take my little wagon, nurse, and
you shall be the horse,
And Ill walk behind and cry, and wen
put her in this, you see.
This dear little box, and Wen bury her
then under the maple tree.
And papa will make her a tombstone like
the one he made for my bird,
And he'll put what l tell him on it-yes,
every single world
I shall say. Here lies Hildegarde' a oeau-
tiful doll, who is dead;
She died Of a broken heart and a dreadtuJ
crack In her head"
