Annie

Spring walks abroad in all the fields to-
day,
Her touch has left the apple orchards
white,
The baby buds that waited for the May
Have shaken out their petals overnight.
Against the rugged boughs they softly
press,
Shell tinted blossoms 1n a field Of green,
weaving the mantle NJ their loneliness
Across the uncouth sha res that spring
between.
Amid their fragrance Groom the drowsy
bees,
And in the perfumed mazes lose their
way,
While lowering over them the wandering
breeze
Lays tender fingers on zach ~sun-kissed
spray.
Spring walks abroad with songs of life
and cheer
thousand gifts she ~joyfully bestows,
But all her fairest ha is here,
Where orchards toss their drifts OF
scented SHOWS.

after picking out coins promiscuously,
they weigh, measure and test them to
determine whether the specifications Of
the government for their casting have all

been considered onerous and the assign

deal of trouble. Mr.. Green is appointed
receiver by the United States Court,
while Mr.. Way the cashier, and who
