I want to tell of my surprise,
If you will only heed;
When in the Journal news I read
That you were not a Swede.
While fix %pg II q OeT your pleasing verse;
That Nels just stood for. Nelson,
And Yingle stood for rhyme.
To say L thought you masculine,
Along with Swedish name;
Would cause you CONSERVATION;
But say! Am l to blame?

The name won't stand for anything,
'Cept you! Your own dear self.
And now you're going far away
To dwell in other cline;
May you ne'er forget Topeka,
And old friends you leave behind.
May happiness attend you,
To crown prosperity,
And may your merry jfngles
Ring from sea to sea.
