CONGRATULATIONS
 ON ANNIVERSARY
By T. L. BEATTY

To The Age Herald on the twentieth anniversary of its rebirth: I'd like to write a little bit, A sapient word. or fancy skit To push your craft along; cannot like ONeal. write law, Nor like the gifted Blackman draw; Nor with Paul. sing a song. But let me say a word of praise For those who through the nights and
 days
 Have stood at Barrett's side Who through the years that now are
 gone.
 And through the battles lost and won, Upon your barque dared ride. The people of sovereign state Approve, applaud, appreciate, And toss you flowers galore Upon this most suspicious date They do, in truth. congratulate, And wish you many more"
