were IN war Tho early winds OF
Spr',ng-'he February and March
winds are OF more account than you
dream of' They are blowing the
dead leaves out OF the forest They
are blowing The dead ducks lar out
TO seal They are clearing away the
debris - wheeling the little sticks
hither and yon. Rolling, flying
aud eddying around, the leaves aud
twigs are leaving their late resting
place, and i will not be long, Bill,
before all this rubbish will be re-
moved, and the grass ands Towers
will again beaatify the earth Is be-
fore. And there shall bc no more
prowling aud no more poaching.
The man at the other end Of the
avenue Is not a clown, a buiioon, a
vulgar Jester, low wit, boorish
story teller. An, no, Bill. lie is
very good man, and you will like
him. We like him, because he Is
just. The people like him, because
he Is generous and statesmanlike.
We have been having some little
trouble up this wuy, Bill. The rev.
elers who lately sat in our banquet
halls were scullions, but they are
going home soon. And when they
have all gone, we shall have very
nice party there. Time is lessening
the Ice in the river. Some Of us
know how you folks have been treat
ed, and we are telling others.
Not long since we told the people
that our people when fighting your
people were stealing themselves rich,
and they said we were disloyal, and
put us in prison. And they pulled
down our printing Offices. They
threw our type into rivers. They
mobbed US in our places Of business.
They shot at and wounded us on the
street. They withheld business from
us. They sought TO array the people
of the North against those who be-
lieved in toting fair. They did all
these things in the name Of God and
the great moral party! But spring
fashions are now coming on, Bill,
and in little while You and ! will
meet somewhere and will be good
friends, and your boys and our boy
after awhile will be loving the same
girls, and riding down the same Ian,
together.

their cities, and bleach out Their
