The New Cup

Title:     The New Cup
Author: Carolyn Wells [More Titles by Wells]

"I've a lovely new cup from Uncle John,"
Said Dorothy; "only see--
It has beautiful golden letters on,
And they spell '_Remember Me_.'"

"Oho!" laughed Fred. "Why, Dorothy dear,
They put that on mugs and plates:
_I_'ve studied jography 'most a year,
And I know the names of the States.

And when you see that anywhere,--
At least, since this fuss with Spain,--
It's the President who puts it there,
And it means 'Remember the Maine'!"

[The end]
