Lay the jest about the julep in the

Jew: the. miracle has happened and the

That which makes Milwaukee thirsty
doesn't foam. in Tennesee,
And the lid in. old Missouri It as'

Oh, the comic paper colonels and his

For the mint is waving gal/p, but
this county's going dry.
By i,Iic stills:de on the hillside of
Kentucky- all is still,
For the only damp refreshment must
be dipped up from the rill ;
North C'a'JJna's stately ruler gives
his soda glass a shove
And discusses local option with 1110
South Cal'ina Gnr•,
It is useless at the fountain to be
winlchil of time eye
For the cocktail glass is dusty and
this country's going dry.
1t is water, water everywhere and
not a drop to drink,
We no ' longerhear the music of the
mellow crystal clink,
When the Co`onzl and the Ma'or and -
the Clen'I and the Jedge
Meet to have a little nip to give
their appetites an edge.
For the eggnogg now is nogg'"ss and
' the rye has goner awry,
And the punch howl holds icarna-
tionsa c this n l , ht.. count'y's' going g illy.
All Chi nightcaps now have tassels
and are worn upon the :bead
Nob the nightcaps that were taken
when nobody! went to bed ;
1.nd the breeze above the bluegrass is
as solemn as is dealli
For it bears no ;pungent clove tang
on its (Waite: breath,
And, cacll ratan can walk a chalk -line

Lau the jest about the julep 'heath
the chessnut tree e al; last,
For there's but cin kind or moon-
' shine end the olden days are
past ;
Now the water wagon rumbles
through the Southland on its
'trip,
And it helps no one to drop off to
pick up tlio driver's whip,
For the nli.nt-beds, make a pastm•e
and the corkscrew hangeth high ;
All is still along the still side rind
