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'!"
