not living up to its original implied CON-
tract When it came here, the owners of

done with the understanding that the gov

Ins nre 10 dim, the light Is low.
And silent In my easy chair
I sit and dream. and fnncies flow
About me in the dsrkliug arr
The walls with books are covered welI;
Quits To the ceiling high they rise.
And In the darkness can tell
Where each beloved volume lies.
But now they seem TO live and move,
And faces from their bindings stare
And all the authors that love
And their creations I'LL tho air.
They never speak; their eager eyes
Look for companions never found.
As each into the darkness dies
In turn and makes no sound
And groups host by. but never gass
Upon each other; all intent
On unknown GRAND so their ways
Or stand In mute bewilderment.
What are ye-real or feisned ihingsi
And will 20 live some grander life.
when we who breathe have los, cur wings
And fallen. silent. In the strifcf
And who are greatcst-those who found
A city grand. palace high
Or those who till the spirit ground
OF fancy that can never dief
For men may live and do and dare
Yet fade away. by all forgot.
But these creations. foul and fair.

riety of corn has very small stalk,
and each stalk has two big ears,
while the other corn bears butone.
