CLARENCE B. BURLEIGH OF AUGUSTA.

THEY used to write our books on Maine, from out in Timbuctoo; And any chap, who'd seen our map, would write a tale or two. In Chapter One, he'd lie likc fun; in Chapter Two. again; And "Finis" writ, such name he'd fit as "Tiger Hunts in Maine" But Burleigh writes his books on Maine, for love of Maine's own boys; And he at least, in way down East, a better way employs. From work and care, as Editor. he steals scant time away To write in truth, such tales for youth as "Camp on Letter K" A red-hot partisan, they say; but in these latter days, The man who'll hump, out on the stump, is worthy of some praise Republican - you may infer: the same, till crack o'doom, Caught it early - C. B. Burleigh -- Man of our Cartoon!
