THE FAvoRITE SON

And now once more the fayorite son
Is being trotted out;
There's not a state that hasn't one
To talk or yell about;
They're short and tall great and small,
They're corpulent and thin,
And one thought animates them all,
Each knows that he can win
Each feels away down in his heart
That he's the man to play the part.
They form a list from A TO T.
All, what a funny show
They'd make II they could only be
stood up In one long row
The bald ones aud the ones with hair.
The fat mes and the lean,
The one who loom up IN the air.
The sly ones and the green,
Each sure that he alone must be
The man who's marked by Destiny.
The iavorite son, the favorlte son,
These are his happy days;
They trot him out aud let him run,
They loudly sound his praise,
They make him think that only he
Is wonderful or great;
They make him fancy he must be
The special choice Of fate,
And in about three years from now
He'll SADLY wonder 'whyYn and "how?'i

After what seemed an age the list of
