[HER CHRISTMAS PRESENT]
A True Incident
With doll in arms to court she came,—
A mite of tender years
Between her sobs she put the case,
Her eyes brimmed up with tears.
“They’ve put my mamma into jail—
And oh, I love her so!
She’s very good—my mamma is—
Please, won’t you let her go?”
“Just look! She made this doll for me”
