A thing Of stia canvas, dirt spotted and torn:
Soiled corduroy collar, huge pockets that tote
The game, and Its fabric Is crumpled and worn,
Yet memories cling to tho old hunting coat.
Its color OF tan with the ground smoothly blends
And frights not the timid and sharp sighted
game;
BY delicate thread iss lone button suspends.
Untouched by the hand OF the unseeing dame:
ON the sleeve light feather seems destined to
stay,
The scent OF burnt powder around Il doth cling.
And its pockets e,nceal but motley array
OF pipe and tobacco. shells, matches and string
And many night 1t has pillowcd the head
That rested in peace meath q sheitering tent
That on some streams banks. tree protected, was
spread.
Where few but Dame Natures Wild creatures

Ah. II 1t could speak. It would eagerly tell
OF long, treathless chase through the thicket
and thorns
In pursuit o: the elk that fought nobly and we'll,
But whose sntlers the old hunting coat now
Or perchance It would whisper of mornings sharp
And rush hidden boat in some lake at daylight
And speak OF the silence and cen OF the thrill
That 1t felt when the canvusback started the
flight.
Or yet it could speak Of the favorite camp
Where the brook makes sweet music and soft
breezes blow
And the odor Of frs and Of wild flowers dew
damp.
And the lcapiug Of trout where the slender
weeds grow.
