a colored prisoner who has just

Thou art but little flower,
Yet in thee do behold
Something more than kingly dover,
Something more than wealth or gold.
AS thy sweet perfume I'm drinking
Silently my lips do frame
A prayer; for l am thinking
Whence this tender message came.
Though the hand that gently plucked thee
Soon shall lie beneath the clay,
Thou wilt live within my memry
Through never-endng day.

The deaths were "a, 443, and were

Among males the rate was equal

among females to 929 per million.
Persons under 20 years Of age

that age both sexes are equally
