Nay nay, my child. he was q wight
Who had a Wondrous way
OF mixing IN with eeYry fight
That came up in his day.
There never was a piece of pie,
Back in the age Of Tin,
Pom which he did not fix his eye
And nave finger in
When Russia fought the Japanese
For freedom a la Russo
de laid them both acros his knees
And spanked them like the deuce.
The great canal Of Panama
He dug with his steel pen;
And in great Cuba's Holy War
Was Hero of Say When.*
he wrote the strict parental law,
BY which all men who fail
To have of children three or four
Must spend ten years in jail
But Of his wondrous deeds the best
lis taught US in our schools
He was the Man who dared suggest

SO that to him we owe the fact
All hail his glorious namei-

While the child was gasping for its
