.SECRET ARY SHAW'S MUSE
SADLY MUSSED UP
Verses Mutilated in Publication by d
Daily Paper.

Secretary Shaw is greatly pe~turbcd
over the liberties that have been taken
with the immortal poetic gem Go Ask
Papa" It's authorship is popularity at
tributed to Mr. Shaw. although he de
MES it.
That's awful. declared Mr.. shaw
Yesterday. when he read his verse as i
appeared in a Philadelphia newspaper.
There ought TO be law against that
sort of thing. People will think 7 don't
know anything about meter
Mt. Shaw finally issued a statement
giving The right version Of the poem.
This is the way it should read:
Go ask papa. the maiden said
He knew that her papa was dead.
He knew the life her father led.
And understood her when she said:
Go ask papa -
This is the form in which it Jared the
SecTetary's feelings so severely that it
caused him 20 deny the authorship:
&c Go ask papa, the maiden said,
The young man knew that her. papa was
dead.
He knew the life her papa had led;
He understood when the maiden said:
Go ask papa.
After issuing the statement the Sec
rotary felt better.

construed and magnffed. until it was re-
ported to the mayor that Mr. Ramage
was frying TO sell him ont. and attempt
ing 10 bribc election judges The mayor
ordered his arrest. and he was confined
in jail for a day
Il subsequently developed that NT.
Johnson had been wrongly advised re-
Eardfng Mr.. Ramsge. and his Informant
admitted he had misinterpreJed Mr..
Ramage's remark, and presumably for
political effect Mr.. Ramage was prompt

of regret. taking occasion to express his
