For many years 1t has been the custom
for Mr.. John F. Connolly, of Syracuse,
N. Y, to furnish a large green cake to
his friends in the day proofrOom on st.
Patrick's Day. The cake was made by
Mrs Connolly, and the cutting and dis
tribution was an event looked forward
to. This year Mr.. Connolly announced
that hfs- wife was determined not to be
bothered with the trouble of making the
cake. and he could not shake her de-
termination. So a petition, signed in
green. was sent to Mrs. Connolly. and
also the following appeal:
AN APPEAL.
We must have cake! Let thnse who will
Cry out for bread with voiccs shrill
Let sume deluded victims sigh
For tempting tAnd dySpsptic1 PIE;
For us but one demand We make:
We MUST have CAKEi
Rob. you must. June of her rose,
Or old December of his SHOWS:
Rob the star boarder q his hash,
Old Piepout Morgan Of his cash.
JACK. Gncc, and "Babe' Of their loved steak,
But do not do not. do NOT, do not,
Oh DO NOT rob Of cake.
Up. s.-No orange cake goesl
These had the desired effect As was
the custom for many years, John T.
Pepper. after appropriate ceremonies,
cut the cake, and thanks were rendered
Jack Connolly and his Incompatible wife.
One thing rather marred the pleasure OF
the OCCASION and that was Wade
Browns Kick about his share. This
called forth the following protest from
the office:
Mrs. Connolly baked a cake,
And they cut it among a score.
They gave Wade Brown a generous slice,
But still he cried for more.
81 have not got my rightful share"
With uplifted hand he swore.
So they cut him OF another piece,
But still he yelled for more.
So they cut him on another slice.
But twas just the same as before
He hadn't got all that was coming to
him.
And loudly he wept for more.
So they handed him out another hunk.
For they hated to see him sore;
But he swallowed It down with one great
gulp,
And Sun he ''hoIlered'' for more.
But they cut him out, right then and
there;
For they knew on the golden shore,
II they let him run on in that awful
way.
He'd stiIi be yelling for more!
