NO. 4-AN ANONYMOUS CONTRIBUTION A lyricist, who because of modesty or for some reason not easily understood has failed to sign the following song poem, contributes it ‘with the observation that the convict alluded to previously iu this column was justified in fearing to trust his effort to publishers im (quote) “thie great democratic country.” ‘Tbe. writer also states: “Some of the best songs that hive ever been written never get beyond the writing table or desk of the author. Gems of poetry and geme of song are left to dle because of the sclxhness of the world.” IF I ONLY KNEW (REPLY)—Perhaps the implica modesty which Jed this writer to refrain from mentioning bis or her name was due to the fact that the mys terlous personage who signs the letter “200 Euclid avenue, Atron, 0.,” realizes that adfectives Uke “dear,” “poor.”* “angel,” ete.. are rather overdone in this effort. There is also = tendency to rhyme singular and plural words in ‘& disconcerting manner. ‘The chorus 1s good.
