Patriotism.

Breathes there man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own my native land
Whose heart hath ne'er within him
burned,
AS home his footsteps he hath turned,
From wandering on a foreign
strand?
Ii such there breathe, go, mark him
we'll;
For him no MINISTRIES raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his
name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can clai m
Despite those titles, power and pelf
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he
sprung,
Unwept, unhonored and unsung.

waste in cutting. Spread bread with
butter and cut thin slices. Put be-
tween slices finely chopped peanuts
seasoned with salt.
SARDINE SANDWICHES
Cut the bread an eighth of an inch
thick but never remove the crusts fer
the picnic sandwich.
OLIVE AND EGG SANDWICHES
Chop very fine twelve olives, six
hard boiled eggs; add one-half tea
spoonful paprika Hungarian red pep

moisten and spread this on the bread.
