Down beyond the garden wall
They have cut down the maple tree;
But they who cut it cannot know
The loss to you and me.

Where long our tree has stood
Our tree that was house Of leaves,
Fairer than house of wood.

The Autumn's flags flung out;

And answered the West Winds shout.

Nor see what we saw there

REMEMBER THIS HERO.

When we're speaking OK heroes and trying frame
A list TO subscribe In the temple OF fame.
Let's pause for moment and Join In a song
For the hero obscure who is lost In the throng
Perhaps meath bushel his lamp struggles dim;
Yet the world puts lot OF dependence on him
Who faces his duty still scornng to shlrk
The man who says nothing but just to work
His courage is not OF the sort that may win
Applause and reward in the battles fierce din;
His hardship is that full many would shup.
For It's farewell friends when there's work be done
It's farewell TO sunshine and farewell to song
The way OF endeavor is lonely and long.
Men honor though fools may dismiss with smlrk.
The man who says nothing, but just goes to work.

who took samples from the ore body,
and SEN them away for assay tests. In
some way, they were lost and the re-
turns never reached the boys, who for
got the matter entirely until the
recent new discoveries came 10 light.
