UNIVERSAL FAvORITE.

Although you are a very old
And stable institution
And was on deck some years before
Our worthy constitution,
Still you are ever young sweet spring,
And II It doeO not tire you
Wed like to let you know again
How truly we admire you.
You come before our eager gaze
AS fresh as any daisy.
And by the perfumes that you shed
You set the poet crazy.
He dashes Off a frenzied line
Alive and full of meaning.
And then his wife appears and says
The basement steps need cleaning.
You coax the grass 70 come along,
You teach the birds to twitter
And even get a lazy man
To rake and burn the litter.
You help the little onion seeds
To swell and do some shooting,
And on the fresh and placid air
You set the fog horn footing.
You make the old feel young again.
The years roll from their shoulders
AS IN some cline they tell about
In advertising folders.
You make the earth a pleasant place,
A land OF milk and honey.
All this you do and more besides
Without a cent OF money.

derstand it, deserted from armies In
the old countries, came here in search
of work, didn't get anything to suit
them and joined our forces only to get
tired and want to quit again. What
they get in the end is a term in the
guardhouse or in the national prison

loclxstep of the state prison will wear
away because it is only an Incidental

old lottery tickets which gives interest
ing testimony as to the development
OF public morals. Most Of the tickets
were given out by Maryland lotteries,
but quite as large collection could
undoubtedly be made in other states.
Four of the tickets are in the WASH
ington monument lottery, which was
authorized by the legislature and was
not given up until 1924. AS early as
1853 lottery was advertised to build
a wharf. The drawing took place April
30. 1854. Ten years later one was IN
dertaken to build market house IN
ssBaltimore Town" and for buying
two FIRE engines and parcel Of leather
buckets" In 1882 a yearly lottery
was authorized to aid the city ex-
penses. Other objects for which
money was raised in this way were
parsonages, church bells. circulating
libraries and gristmills.

says: what was it you told me to do,
