To see the Kaiser's epitaph
Would make a weeping willow laugh.

Said Opie Read to E. P. Roe,
"How do you like Gaboriau?"

MANILA

Oh, dewy was the morning, upon the first of May,
And Dewey was the admiral, down in Manila Bay;
And dewy were the Regent's eyes, them royal orbs of blue,
And do we feel discouraged? We do not think we do!
Eugene F. Ware.
