 An Appreciation.
 Write. write write.
 With thy faciie pen, oh. Drift.
 And in thy well tured lute
 Be there no rift
 Oh. we'll for Golden Hair
 That holds thy pen in thrall
 oh, well forethe dear Brunette
 Who claims to be fairest of all. The stately crowd moves on
 To fll old Grandma's page
 And may it's ceaseless change
 Never be staled by age.
 Write, write, write,
 Thy merry lines oh. Drift.
 For out of despond's slough
 They ever give us lift. These appreciative lines occurred ia The Canebrake Herald of November IS Ie0s Did you see them? Very truly. W. H. T., in Montgomery Advertiser It was certainly real thoughtful Of william Howard Taft to send yeu the above clipping-Bouston Post.
