THREE CHEERS FOR ARKANSAS

co,rmbia sat with thoughtful brow, A letter had just come to hand From one who shared honors with ner And ruled O, CT this mighty land. Tho letter was brief and to the point, And explained wond'rous plan, Courteously begging assistance; Signed: Respectfully, Uncle sam. He wrote he intended to hold levee Our country to appear at her best. He had sent invitations far and wide, Indeed, the World was to be his guest. He wished each state to stand accord
 ing to age , And be ready to respond to his call; Tell of her wealth, her commerce and
 trade,
 Her cities both great and small. And to the state that could most clear
 ly show
 Resources of every kind, Uncle Sam a laurel wreath
 On her honored brow would bind. At last the great fete day dawned,
 And guests from all parts of the
 world Were cordially greeted by Uncle Sam, While Columbia the stripes unfurled The Eastern states spoke of commerce, The West fields of golden grain, While others boasted of well filled ships That sailed each day OCT the main Down the line with modest grace
 Stood maid both youthful and fair Branch of apple blooms in her hand
 And apple blooms twined in her hair She looked at the beautiful Easteri
 States, Her hopes replaced by fears, Full well she knew her rugged strengt Lacked the mellowing touch of tn years.
 But she stepped bravely forth whe | her name was called, Her stately head held high Like her beautiful pine-topped noun tains Who's green kiss the blue of the sky She spoke of the pearls in the rivers That rival those of the sea In glistening sheen and changing ligh' 1 And gleaming purity. How men from the depths of he mountains
 Send to the worlds busy marts Minerals rare and precious ore, Tucked from their stony hearts. Down on her eastern border
 The father of waters flow, Gay little pickininnies bask in the sun And the corn and cotton grow. Men from the North the East and West Women fragile and fair, Seek health from her sparkling water
 And grow strong in her balmy air. And then she spoke of her railroads.
 Thick Ter her bosom sown-- Then a nod and smile from Uncle Sam
 And, To! the Laurel Wreath was he own.
 While the welkln rang with heart,
 shout,
 For the prize so honestly won By the fair, sweet maid of the appl,
 blooms,
 And her great work just begun. So let look for the best in her.
 Nor seek for blemish or flaw; We are her children, she shelters us
 Three cheers for Arkansas.
