No! + I wish to chase the buffalo." + + + + +J for Japanese. + + + The little Japs are rather small, + Even their fathers are not tall; + They're very fond of parasols, + They dress themselves just like their dolls. + + They live beneath the sunniest skies, + Their hair is black to match their eyes; + Their robes are black to match their hair, + And, O! what tiny shoes they wear. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +K for Kaffir. + + + This Kaffir looks a trifle sly, + He smiles and smiles, I wonder why? + Perhaps he's playing at a game, + Or thinking of his long, long name. + + His name, you know, is Washington + Neb-u-chad-nez-zar Solomon + Sambo Snowball Timothy Jack + Adolphus Rule Britannia Black. + + + + +L for Laplander. + + + I think the Laplander is nice, + He lives among the snow and ice; + The reindeer drags his sledge for him, + And gives him meat and milk to skim. + + His spears are sharp--they shine like steel; + He hunts the walrus and the seal. + Often, when he has time to spare, + He hunts the white or polar bear. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +M for Mexican. + + + The plucky little Mexican + Rides on the pampas like a man; + His horse may kick, and plunge, and rear, + He does not feel the least bit queer. + + If he should see an old grey goose + Or a young turkey running loose, + You may be pretty certain that + He'd catch it with his lariat. + + + + +N for Neapolitan. + + + The Neapolitan is wise, + He plays the pipes for pence, and buys + Ice-cream and candy every day + To help him on his weary way. + + His tunes are chiefly of one note, + He has a sheepskin for a coat, + His water-bottle's painted yellow, + He is a handsome little fellow. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +O for Odalisque. + + + O pretty little Odalisque, + I know you want to dance and frisk + And play at hide and seek with me; + And yet, you know, it cannot be, + + Unless--unless, my dear, you choose + To put away those curious shoes, + Also your coat, and cap, and veil: + They'd hang up nicely on a nail. + + + + +P for Persian. + + + The Persian has a funny hat, + He often sits upon a mat; + He hears the bulbul sing, and roves + Through rose-gardens and lemon groves. + + Child, if by any chance you meet + A little Persian in the street, + Do not be rude and cry "Yah-yah!" + But ask him if he's seen the Shah. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +Q for Quakeress. + + + I like the little Quakeress, + She is so quaint; I like her dress, + Her very, very plain white bonnet, + Her stuff gown with no trimming on it. + + Her hands are pink, and soft, and small, + They peep out from her dark green shawl. + She lives on milk, and bread, and honey, + She must be saving pots of money. + + + + +R for Russian. + + + Russia is noted for its tar, + Its leather, and its great, white Czar. + A Russian wears his clothes quite loose, + And drinks his tea with lemon juice. + + The Russian boys have chubby faces, + They play at marbles and run races; + The climate sometimes makes them cough, + They've names like Shuffski and Poppoff. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +S for Scotch. + + + The Scotch wear kilts--both boys and men, + When they don't know, they "dinna ken." + They love the thistle, we the rose, + They're fond of oatmeal, kail, and brose. + + In war the Scotch are very bold. + Burns was a Scot, who, I am told, + Wrote verses and ploughed fields by turns, + So every Scot is proud of Burns. + + + + +T for Tyrolean. + + + The Tyrol has a splendid air + And mountains, mountains everywhere; + The mountains are all tops and sides, + You climb them best with ropes and guides. + + The Tyrolean's hat is smart, + He yodels and is light of heart; + His yodelling is very sweet; + His stockings haven't any feet. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +U for United States. + + + The States are full of mush and pie + And houses twenty stories high, + Saw-mills and millionaires and bustle; + The people there "have got to hustle." + + The business of the States is done + Ex-clu-sive-ly by telephone; + And that is why the people say, + "I guess we're 'cute in U. S. A." + + + + +V for Valencian. + + + Valencia's a little town + In Spain. It's dusty and baked brown, + And full of dirt and mules and fleas, + And all around are orange trees. + + This well-fed boy, as you may see, + Has been dressed very carefully; + His garments show that he's a Don, + He knows that he has got them on. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +W for Welshman. + + + Taffy, my boy, I've heard with grief + That shocking tale about the beef; + But Taffy, between me and you, + I really don't believe it's true. + + I'm told that there are pretty vales + And hills with sheep on them in Wales; + O Taffy, Taffy, don't be put on, + You can't want beef while you've Welsh mutton. + + + + +Z for Zany. + + + A zany is a kind of clown + Who wanders idly up and down, + And wags his head, and shakes his bells, + And chortles at the tales he tells. + + He'll joke with you in sun or show'r, + And keep you laughing by the hour. + Some zanies are a trifle mad: + Now we have finished--and I'm glad. + + T.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/24336.zip b/24336.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bbe5e07 --- /dev/null +++ b/24336.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/old/24336-h/images/bcovertn.jpg b/old/24336-h/images/bcovertn.jpg Binary files differnew file

S. A." + + + + +V for Valencian. + + + Valencia's a little town + In Spain. It's dusty and baked brown, + And full of dirt and mules and fleas, + And all around are orange trees. + + This well-fed boy, as you may see, + Has been dressed very carefully; + His garments show that he's a Don, + He knows that he has got them on. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +W for Welshman. + + + Taffy, my boy, I've heard with grief + That shocking tale about the beef; + But Taffy, between me and you, + I really don't believe it's true. + + I'm told that there are pretty vales + And hills with sheep on them in Wales; + O Taffy, Taffy, don't be put on, + You can't want beef while you've Welsh mutton. + + + + +Z for Zany. + + + A zany is a kind of clown + Who wanders idly up and down, + And wags his head, and shakes his bells, + And chortles at the tales he tells. + + He'll joke with you in sun or show'r, + And keep you laughing by the hour. + Some zanies are a trifle mad: + Now we have finished--and I'm glad. + + T.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/24336.zip b/old/24336.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bbe5e07 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/24336.zip |
