This poem has never been publish- ed, though many people were anxious Ju send it to the New York papers. thought, myself, however, that it should be printed first in The Times! in London end in the land of the men who write their tome in dames for the great cause of humanity.
The little girl's poem follows:

My name in flames, fire-bright,
If I must die.
