che Difference to Cecil.
A world-famous name is written at last,
(And that made difference to CeciD,
On the pages of Hstory's: present and Past,''
And that made difference to Cecil;
Now, when his silence is ever foil
To his height of ambition. his ladder of toll
Has reached good old England, his well-beloved
And that makes difference to Cecil
AS inancier, truly, he couldn't be beat
And that made difference to Cecil,
He checkmated nabobs with movements so neat,
For they made difference to Cecil;
At afrer-dinner speaking he mostly was 1t,
He'd stand quite serene while the rest had fit,
And someone, there present, was sure to be hit
But that made no difference to Cecil.
They say he had millions-gambled on change,
But that made no difference to Cecil,
1t wasn't quite healthy to come within range,
For that made difference to Cecil
If some shares in Kimberley suddenly fell
If he watered his stock-and some men went.

That made no difference to Cecil.
When sailing fr London he met Eugene,
(But that made no difference to Cecn,)
The ex-Empress. viewing some cruisers at sea,
But that made no difference to Cecil
When French sailors yelled: "Vive Pempera--
trice,"
He said N the cantaip twin lOOked iIl of aacol.
"Order your men shout: Beef, lemons and
cheese"
AS that made no difference to Cecil.
He owned diamond and gold mines, steamboats,,
and such,
For those made difference to Cecil,
And for few Kaffirs he didn't care much,
As they made no difference to Cecil;
He could afford, you'll have to admit,
To smoke dollar Havanna's in comfort and sit
Tearing up ten-dOllar-bi lls-aber nit
For they made a difference to Cecil.
He built few railroads through different lands,
And that made difference to Cecil,
His goal Cape to Cairo, through Sahara's sands,
But that made no difference to Cecil;
When Jameson went on that raid, don't you
know,
And failed to make good, twas terrible blow,
To most everyone it made the tears flow,
But that made no difference to Cecil.
He passed away quietly on Matoppa Hill,
And that made difference to Cecil
He opened the eyes of all men by his will,
And that made a difference to Cecil;
When floating some bonds, he could sure raise
the wind,
To grab was his mOttO-to leave but the rind,
But "Den som int ser, han ar stem blind,''
And that was the difference in Cecil
May his bones rest in peace, through kindness
of Fate,
AS that makes difference to Cecil,
His soul is above all the care and the hate.
SO that makes no difference to Cecil;
He was remarkable man, just the, same,
Was noted and quoted as being "dead game"
But the blame of the flame, was the fame of his
name,
And that made all difference to Cecil.

title that will make hit than the
writing of the books causes them.

Double-up-Jack arrived here short
