UNGLE SAM'S CHRISTMAS.
By ROBERTUS LOVE.
[Copyright, 1S?O, by American Press Asso

OUR UNCLE SAM, that busy wight
Whose duties never let him pause,
Appeared on Christmas eve, bedight
In merry g? rb of Santa Gaus.
"Now must I haste,"
cried} Uncle
Sam,
"Lest I forget
some chick or
child
Of mine, his stock
ings full to
cram,
From out my pack
with treasures
piled. "
Then swift through
forty-seven
states,
And territories
three or four,
He scooted, leaving sleds and skates
And folderols. at every door.
"Hal Up to '98 or so," '
Said Uncle Sam, "my work was done
With this, but now I fear-ho, hoi
My task is scarcely yet begun I''
So off he sailed across the sweep
Of salty waters, mile on mile,
And gladdened every chick asleep
-' In Porto Rico's placid isle.
BWTFT THROUGH FOR
TY-SEVEN STATES.
Then swift and far
his airship Hew,
?*.TiH every Filipino
tot,
Or black or blond,
or brown or
blue." \
' Abundant Christ-'
mas presents
got- ' f
And sailing back
above the isles
Where sWart Ka'
nakas frisk and
play, :
He poured Hawaii THE* SWIFT ARD FAE
p?es and piles AIRSHIP FLEW.
Of gewgaws made for Christmas day.
"I'm through," erie?Uncle Sam, "at last!"
And then the jolly rogue said : "Pshaw !
I wonder if I ought to cast
Some ballast off on Panama V
