In the woods of Olaa I found it,
This bright, golden flower of the sun,
With other gay blossoms around it,
But for me there was only this one.
Twas Judith, winsorne and gracious,
Judith with merry brown eyes,
Sparkling and warm and vivacious,
Yet innocent, wondering and wise!
Judith SO chic and bonita,
With clustering, raven-black hair,
A smart little, sweet senorita,
With smiles that were wondrously rare;
Dainty and piquant and airy,
With the pose of a radiant queen,
And the grace of naiad or fairy,
Or nymph of the forest so green
Oh! she should be queen of the woodlands,
And dwell in beautiful bower
Queen of the sylphs and the fairies,
This dear little, glad sunhowerl

In case any one should like to try
picked lemons, here is recipe by
which to make them:
Choose a dozen nice, sound lemons and
slit TIE rind mp into four quarters, but
do NOT break the fruit. Fill the cracks
with plenty of salt and set them up
rgllt in Il deep pan in Il warm place
Till tie salt mclts. Turn the lemons
very often and baste with the liquor
till they arc tender. 1t will take about
week for them to become soft. Yhou
drain off the liquor and put the lem
ons in jar Meantime boil the liq
uor With two quarts of vinegar, half Il
pound of bruised ginger, Il quarter Of
pound of mustard seed, a quarter Of
pound of black pepper, When it boils
pour it over the lemons and when cool
tie down. This pickle will keep for
years. but it ought to be stored some
months before using.
