But what of it? When was a boy,
I cut down half the orchard one day.

But maybe twas a pear!
~ They say he owned right up
to dad,
And didn't lie a hair.
They say he said his little prayers
While kneeling by his bed;
But somewhere I have read or heard
He sang gay songs instead.
They say he never swiped a pot
OF currant jell or jam;
But innocence was in his face,
Just like a frisky lam.
They say he with Ratchet cut,
Though maybe twas an ak;
shall not say just which it was,
Until I know the fax.
He never swore like other boys
He never had a scrap;
He cuddled up to mamma dear,
And likewise to his pap.

And all our hearts he won;
Because he licked the British, and
He was our Wash ing-ton.

DEFENDS RECORDOF GOVERNOR WILSON Samuel Untermeyer Replies to Charges of Colonel
 Roosevelt

New Haven, Conn, November 3.-Col-
 onel Roosevelt's charge in his state
 rnent of Saturday that Governor Will. sons record as Governor of New Jer- sey in dealing with the trusts was in consistent with his present attitude, vas replied to in an address here to- night by Samuel Untermeyer, speaking with the endorsement of the national committee.
 Tt was supposed that this charge had been fully met and disposed of. said Mir Untermeyer, but since Col onel Roosevelt has seen fit to complete . lly ignore the conclusive answer that has been made it may be well to sup 1 that subject so as to avoid any room for misunderstanding.
 "The criticism Is put upon two grounds: first, that Governor Wilson has not prosecuted the existing trusts I formed under the laws of New Jersey; second, that he has not procured
 changes in the corporation laws 0f that | state which would make impossible the formation of such combinations in the l future
 l AS to tiit tiSt bIdtCIt every npNict in the law knows that the state of New Jersey having very unwisely con ferred upon the corporations in ques- ton unlimited powers to acquire the
 stock and properties of other companies Int cannot afterwards prosecute them 1 for having done so; it cannot compel Ithem to surrender property which 1t expressly authorizes them to acquire. It is unfortunate that such wide powers were ever granted to corporations but that, like many other unwise powers that were conferred on corporations, was done many years ago.
 The second branch of the charge has been repeatedly entered by quota tions from Gorvernor Wilson's mes- sages to the legislature of New Jersey
 which speak for themselves. There have been two sessions of the legislature
 s.i.ce he became governor Everybody ! in New Jersey knows that the first
