The fire win chase the frosts away;

And spin brave yarns above the tea.

And Stanley sings the red canoe;
And Dick expounds his Micmac lore;
While talk glibly as ! can
With one eye on the frying pan.
We talk of deeds in field and wood,
OF fF-clad hills and miles Of spruce
The alder swamp's gray solitude
The trampled shelter Of the moose;
And when the bacon is fried brown
We let the conversation down.
Our snowshoes stand against the wall
They need good rest, for they have
gone
Down forest trails, where shy beasts

A giant journey since the dawn.

And want to lounge about the fret
What matters it tho winds blow chill

And bacon and pot of tea,

all they can do sometimes to preserve
their dignity while listening to the
answers given by the men who are

which caused a smile.
A little man with a red beard stood
in the line. When the court clerk
asked him If he would promise to SUD-
