CASTLE ROCK, COLO.

The sunsets splendid shines like gold,
Castle Rock stands still and old;
Creviced hard and creviced deep,
High, erect and very steep.
The open sky, the mountains high,
You breathe the air and then you sigh,
For the deep. deep canon down below,
Is snowy white with glistening snow.
The road winds round and round
again,
Begore your jorney near begins,
Castle Rock in the distance lays,
Just as it has for days and days.
Your destination; home you start,
With Castle Rock you now must part;
Its lofty SUBMITS snowy white,
Oh, who has seen a prettier sight?

They hoped and prayed.
But all in vain:
At last from that did they refrain.
America to them had meant 1t all:
And to American had they sent
their call.
Down the street some children came,
Happily shouting Santa's name,
Glad and radiant in their joys;
But they were Americas girls and
boys.
Ten small dollars saves the life of a
child,
Armenian children, meek and mild.
So why not gladly answer their plea; !;
So they may have Christmas tree.
The American children, both girls and

Have for their Christmas all kinds of

Lack of intelligence on the part Oh
