REMARKS BY THE CURFEW.

When spring approaches there
are many strange sounds in the
air, which becomes warmer and
causes the trees to sway gently.
Above, the ducks and geese are
lying and the shrill sound Of
their voices may be heard. Down
near the lake the people can be
heard shooting. The frogs in the
river are singing the song Of
spring. The dam is roaring in
basso voice, keeping time like
the drum to the song of the
frogs. The meadow lark in the
meadow sends forth its merry
"tra-la.'' The robin comes with
her eyes open wide to find a
coy place to build a nest. The
children are seen out on the
streets laughing and playing. At
last in the evening is heard the
toll of the curfew, telling the
children it is time to 60 in
