The Tale OF the Trailing Arbutus."
as sung by Senator Gardner of Penob-
scot, to the tune IF Representative
Reed was one of the masterpieces of
the session. 1t was rendered apropos
20 the bill killed in the House, the day
before, which provides for the wilfu!l
destruction of the trailing arbutus or
common mayfiower.
So appealingly did Senator Gardner
sing the tender refrain that the Sem
ate were put under a spell and voted
almost unanimously to give the bill Il
passage. 1t was sent down to the House
which insisted on it's former action of
killing the bill and a committee of con-
ference was appointed. Meantime, the
various Maying parties are in a state
Of awful suspense, apprehensive lest
their innocent recreation of gathering
the precious buds may be deemed a
crime punishable by fine.
The resolve carrying 100000 for the

vided report. a majority report signed
