TALE OF THREE CITIES.

By Edwin Carty Ranck

A seedy young man in Savanah

Fell in love with a rich girl named Anna,

But her papa got mad

And swore that “By Gad,

The fellow shall never Havana!”

But the couple eloped to Caracas,

Where the Germans kicked up such a fracas;

And he said to his wife,

“You can bet your sweet life

That papa dear never will track us.”
