An. Jessamine. dear. am glad that
forever
You'll be my wee blossom, my sweet
little girl,
That youll don afectation and dignity

That your climb on my knee and as
winsomcly curl
In my arms, in the future as e'er in the
past days,
When you we're a haxen- haired rosy
checked wisp;
And Well walk together the old ways.
the dear ways,
That we walked when your wee tongue
was learning TO lisp
We viii talk of the years that have gone,
and forever,
Since you were a wee one, and |, l
was young!
And your voice shall ring out as It use1
to ring ever,
AMI III list to the songs that your
baby lips sung;
And | will not be old; tho I'm feeble
and broken
The soul Of my youth shall shine out
OF each scar
That Time has graved deep! Let true
love be the token
That am still young, while you're
Just as you are!
Aye just as you are, dearl Old Time
won't forget you;
How can he forget such a sweet win
some lass?
But may he just simply remember he
met you,
And laughing gaze backward whenever
you pass,
All, dear onel 1 love you! May evry
tomorrow
Hedge in all your ways with a love
like to mine.
May your soul never shrink meath the
bane of sorrow;
May youth, love and pleasure forever
he thinel
And we'll wander some day, your wee
hand in mine, dear.
And you. you shall show me each we'll
beloved scene;
And your red lips shall laugh, and bright
your eyes shine, dear,
And my life shall again be all 1t hath
been.
And 4 shall be young; and my voice shall
ring clearer

And our hearts, my dear Jess, shall grow
nearer and dearer,
And life worth the living when | NEE

Wonder II Albert Edward said. "rhls
is so sudden" when the crown was pre-
scented to him by the bereaved nation
Now every man who owns a foot,
Or ITO. OF Texas soil
Doth wonder II he'd make hit
II he should bore for oil
And Beaumont people think they'll pipe
Their mud 10 far off scenes,
And, In their minds, just roll in weaNh,
But these are all pipe dreams.
II seems that the wife OF one Of the
saloonsts ruined by Mrs. Nation met
that lady and landed twice on her classic
profile, temporarily putting that lady out
OF the lecture business. to her surprise
and disgust. 1t makes a big difference
