THE ROBINS FUNERAL


Take him gently, lay him low,
Where the pale primroses blow.
By and by will come the snow.
But today the green things grow.
Make his grave.
He will hear no sounds Of spring,
Fairy blossom bells that ring,
Streams that murmur, birds that sing,
For he knows not anything.
Make his grave.
Happy in the happy May,
Wooing with his roundelay,
His brown mate but yesterday.
Blithe b sang-ah, none 30 gayl
Make his grave.
Spring without him comes and goes,
And the royal summer grows
Glad with lily and with rose;
Autumn ripens, winter SHOWS
Round his grave.

tired Of her, or, again, because reduced
income forced him to abandon the ex-
travagant luxury, but here is one that,
losing her master by his untimely death,
has been specially provided for in her
declining years. Steadfast unto the end,
she was not sold off for half price to get
rid Of her, but, like faithful dog or
horse that has outlived its days of use-

her life in quiet repose.

schooner yacht Dauntless was one of the
very stanchest boats afloat In race
across the Atlantic with the Coronet she
did herself proud. Her commander was

furled. with pennants hauled down for
the last time and housing canvased over,
she tugs at an anchor that seems des.

spirit was in life Commodore Caldwell

three years ago. while off on cruise.
This circumstance, together with his
fondness for the boat, led his wealthy
mother to preserve it, though no longer

is that the yacht idles her life away,
