DAISY DEAN
II was down in the meadows where the
Violets were blooming
And the springtime grass was ever fresh
and green
The birds by the brooklets their sweetest
songs were singing.
When first met my darling Daisy Dean
CHORUS
None knew thee but to love thee, thou
dear one OF my heart
Oh. the memory is evor fresh and green:
Though the sweet buds may wither ana
fond hearts be broken.
Still I love thee. my darling Daisy
Dean.
Her eyes soft and tender, tho violets out
dyeing
And fairer form was never seen;
Her brown silken tresses her cheeks like
the roses
There was none like my darling Daisy
Dean.
The bright flowers have faded and the
young grass Is withcred.
And a dark cloud hovers DER the scene,
For the death angel took her and left me
For my lost one. my darling Daisy
Dean.
Oh. down In the meadow sull love 20
wander,
Where the young grass Is ever fresh
and green,
But tho bright golden visions OF springtime
have faded
with the flowers and my darling Daisy
Dean.

A FuQitlve Poem

To the Editor Of The Evening Public Ledger.
Sir-I am anxious TO get a little fugiti,
poem. which starts as follows:
THE boy stood on the burning deck.
His fleece was white as snow"
MRS. f. L. T.
Philadelphia, December 1s. 1920
HUMOROUS PARODY
The boy stood on the burning deck
His fleece was white as snow
He stuck a feather in his cap,
John Anderson. my Joe.
Come back. como back. he cried in vain,
From India's coral strands;
The frost Is on the pumpkin. and
The village smithy stands.
Am I soldier of the cross.
From many n palmy plain?
Should aud acuua intance be forgot
Where saints immortal reign?
Ye banks and braes Of bonny Doom.
Across the sard o. Dee:
Can you forget the night in june
My country 'tis OF thee.
or all sad words OF tongue or pen
Were saddest when we sing.
To beard the lion in his den
To set before the king.
Hark! from the tomb a doleful sound
And Phoebus gins to rise;
All nmsy were the borogroves
To mansions in the skies.

WATER TOGIVE

Stream at Scottsville to
Provide Many Cities
= Electricity.

Charlottesville, Va, Feb. 1.-THE
project OF constructing at Scotts-
vile. this county. the greatest hy-
dro-electric power plant in vir-
ginia- with power sufficient to sup
ply Charlottesville and many other
cities in northern central Virginia,
win be well under way this sum-
nsr. The construction Is undertaken
by the engineering department of
fthe Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
: at the instance of New York hrm
? Richmond. Petersburg. Farmville.
Charlottesville. Staunton, Harrison
burg, Culpeper and Fredericks-
burg. and most of the intervening
towns are either short of power IA
cilities or have 1t provided by the
Expensive and wasteful coal burn
ing system.
- All are probable patrons of
.Scottsville's proposed power plant
= In addition It Is expected many
manufacturing concerns will be led
ito build plants in the immediate
vicinity of Scottsville, to take ad-
vantage OF the cheap and depend
able power.
The feasibility Of the project was
passed upon By engineers Of the c.
q 0. Railway company. Allowing
most liberal estimates for cost Of
construction and maintenance, 1t
was found that the plant. including
Transmission lines, could be placed in
operation for approximately one mil
shon dollars and that, furnishing
power at very attractive rates, 1t
would yield good returns upon an
fnvestment basis of ten millions
