The New Cup

"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'!"
