Unloose . harp thy mystic chains,
Thy long hushed notes pour forth today
In memory's dear undying strains.
No saddening chords invoke we now,
No haunting, memory waking tears,
For laurel wreaths must crown the brow
Who've hand in hand walked fifty years
As in the autumn's gathering haze
The sweetest fruit and brightest flowers
Are gathered in the golden days
Of natures eliminating hours.
SO be our task to Gull from years
Among sweet flowers and withered
leaves,
From harvests of life's hopes and fears,
The golden fruit and ripened sheaves.
Gazing adown those fifty years
Through vistas far, yet seeming nigh,
Strange far off whispers reach our ears,
Familiar forms come thronging by.
By hallOwed hearthstones sit we now,
Again we traverse hall and floor,
And see the dear familiar brow
And hear glad voices as of yore.
Let sweetest chords life's harp strings
play
In lingering tones slow waited down,
Let happy memories rise today
OF those who wear the victor's crown.

SCARCITY OF SEALS.
Makes 1t Probable That Garments OF

ms fur Will soon Be Curio.
The Treasury Department has re-
ceived a report from the special agent
who has been experimenting the
catching of fur seals in the Arctic dur
ing the past season. His report shows
that this valuable animal is getting
scarcer every year, and that unless ex.
IRENE measures are soon adopted to
prevent their determination, ii will be
but a matter OF time before sealskin
sacques will be regarded as curios
The Treasury Department restricted
the catch of seals in the American
district to $4,000, but the best the seal
ers could do was to catch 16, 900 ami
mails. This merely indicates the scare
ity of the seals, for those taken under
the supervision of the United States
authorities will not be missed In the

slain in our territory, the killing being
limited to males over 2 years of age.
The danger of complete humiliation

of 1898 the Treasury Department re-

tory to 80 900, and during the year just
ended limit of $4,000 was named
Next year it is probable that this will
be scaled down to $4,000, with pros
poets for the catch being hardly 10000.
The only thing that can save the herd
from complete extinction. says the de-
partment officials, is an early agree
ment between Great Britain and the
United States to prohibit the catching
of all seals except males more than
years old-Brooklyn Eagle.
