Do you remember that Teutonic jaw
Of him who crowned an emperor, that you Might know that Bismarck was above all law And free to do what victor vandals do? VI Oh, Hall of Visions, now shall come anon A grander sight than you have ever seen; You've mirrored kings, but you shall look upon The mighty men whose edicts freedom mean VII To races and to peoples sore oppressed; The men who mould the future for a race That breathes a wind that's blowing from the West-- And you'll forget the Bourbon's evil face! --EDWARD S. VAN ZILE. _N. Y. Eve. Sun., Nov. 25_ LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS |
