sented and read the following poem, which
every loyal Swanvillian will do to commit
to memory, on the beauties of Maine:
If | were but an artist great,
With cunning hand and brain,
How beautiful the scene would be
That l would paint Of Maine.
But ne'er could artist hOwe'er skilled
The quiet peace proclaim
About the shores of Swan Lake
Way down in Maine.
If l had the power of song
I'D sing one grand, sweet strain,
Till all should listen with delight,
Of the fair hills of Maine.
But ne'er song, though sweet it be,
Can half the joy explain
ABOUT the beauties OF the hills
Way down in Maine.
She wins us with a 'witching smile,
She charms and makes us vain,
Until We listen to the voice
That calls us home to Maine
We long to leave our toll and strife,
And fain would steal away
To spend awhile beside Swan Lake
Each languid summer day.
No fairer spot this earth can boast,
Though far and wide we roam,
Than this our own beloved lake,
Our charming summer home,
With beauties rare on every side
That artist eyes might claim,
There's no place that's One-half as dear
AS Swan Lake down in Maine.
A very pleasant and profitable evening was
spent. The next meeting will be with Mr..
and Mrs. Herbert Cunningham of Maiden

tend, and we trust that all the lone folks"
