William Dean Howells

Not squirrels in the park alone His love and winter-kindness own. When Literary Fledglings try Their wings, in first attempt to fly, They flutter down to Franklin Square, Where Howells in his "Easy Chair" Like good Saint Francis scatters crumbs Of Hope, to each small bird that comes. And since Bread, cast upon the main, Must to the giver come again, I tender now, long overtime, This humble Crumb of grateful rhyme.

Napoleon

I like to draw Napoleon best Because one hand is in his vest, The other hand behind his back.

Dante

If you should ask me, whether Dante Drank Benedictine or Chianti, I should reply, "I cannot say, But I can draw him either way."

Theodore Roosevelt

The ways of Providence are odd. If THEODORE means "The Gift of God," Let us give thanks, at any rate, The Gift was not a duplicate.

Dear Theodore, should it give you pain To read this Rhyme, let me explain. If we 'exchanged' you, where on Earth Could we find one of Equal worth?

O. H.

Rudyard Kipling

Ignace Jan Paderewski

When Paderewski is forgot, Our children's children, like as not, Will worship in the Hall of Fame, Some great piano-maker's name.

Daniel Frohman

I love to picture Daniel Frohman In costume of a noble Roman. For Dan has just the style of hair, That Julius Caesar used to wear.

Charles W. Eliot

And now comes Dr. Eliot stating That Hell won't bear investigating. It looks like Charlie's out to bust The Great Hell-Fire Insurance Trust.

J. Pierpont Morgan
