The Old Home Porch.

A plague on city porches close abutting

They're purely ornamental, and for COM

The small and stuffy porches unprotected

That streams from street and pavement,
and no rest on them find
Where's one to swing a hammock SOS to
stretch yawning arm
And never crack his kuuckles on the rail
ing's close confines?
Oh, give me, please, the porch the home
folks have down on the farm
Where green wistaria tangles and where
five-leafed ivy twines
I'd like to have my hammock swing be-
tween an outer post
OF that wide porch and our old house,
the house where ! was born;
There l could lie and rest the while
sweet memories, host,
Passed in review, fond memories of boy
hoods sun-kissed morn.
In that retreat so leafensconsed the
world I'd quite forget
I'd smooth from out my brow dull wor-
rvs deep penciled lines
From that old porch I'd wave adieu to
furry, fume and fret
Where green wistaria tangles and where
fve-leafed ivy twines.
The August heat were powerless then to
reach me or assail
My rest when daily toll we're DER and
twilight shades should fall;
An evening in my hammock then with
gladness | should hail
or sultry city nights | then would feel
no dread at all.
A broad old porch all garlanded with
close meshed leaves of green,
A porch that coy comfort and not orna-
ment designed
Not man made porch, but God made
porch and Nature.clad, | ween-

Lumber Grades.
Movement to standardlze Now Being AID

A subject of increasing Importance to
every lumber producer and consumer is
that OF grades. That these grades should
be uniform where practical is we'll recog-

general rules have been made. In view
OF these movements to standardize the
grades, the forest service has undertaken
to bring together the specifications of
the various lumber and manufacturers
associations and put them IN such a
form that they may be compared.
The assistance of manufacturers and
consumers of lumber is earnestly desired

commercial. a sentimental or a scientific
point Of view. will be interested also in the
report Of Attorney General Julius VI. Mayer,

tomorrow morning
Several weeks ago the Association for the
Protection Of the Adironiacks issued a
statement charging that grave abuses had
been tolerated in the forest preserve 10y the
Forest, Fish and Game Commissioner and
the chief prot ector under him. II was
asserted that these officers had permitted
thou, ands Of feet OF imber 20 be cut anil
removed from the State land in violation
of the Constitution and that inadequate
penalties had been enforced against the
ire passers.
Gov. Higgins directed the Attorney Cen
eral to make an investigation and the At
torncy General referred the matter to his
deputy, Charles o. Pratt, who with several
assist ants has visited the despollct region.
The report says that there have been
many forest fires in the Adirondacks, and
that following these forest hires, there
has always been apprehension, more or
less serious, a. to the danger Of permitting
the burnt timber to remain undlsturbed.
The commission felt this apprehension
and asked Attorney General Hancock
what could he done. lie advised that there
ia no power 1r authority in any person,
board or commission, to warrant the sale
or removal OF the logs from the lands In

also advised the commission to the same
effect Nevertheless. Attoney-General
Mayer finds that il continued 10 be the
practice Of the commission 10 seize and
sell timber cut on the State land, and that
the state had received revenues there
from amounting TO $4,000.
The General says that, In his
opinion, II the State officers had themselves
cleared of the burnt timber at state eN-
pense there would not have been any crlt-
cism. The report con cludes
