A summer sky is over all,
 Sweet summer souDds are on the breeze The red winged blackbird's merry call Rings from the distant maple trees, While humming, crossing ere otures trace Their mazos O 2r the waters face. Though in the mirror at my feet
 No mystic image discern, Yet pictures old my vision greet,
 And voices silent long return Youth, with its ancient wopdrous train Of memories fair, Is mine again. Homes, forms beloved, faces dear.
 Now vanished from my waking sight, Echoes of liie's first music clear,
 Glimpses of childhood's golden light Come to this pleasant summer nook Beside wandering meadow brook.

some interesting things, as such remin-
iscencer is apt to do. He said: My

his body slightly and slowly forward and

makes me groan when think OF it now.

welcome to the whole matter. Nothing
would give me more pleasure than to let
you have it. l would give it to you now,
but the fact is have lost the key to the

situation and his inability to accommo-
