A man sat in his office,

And every time he touched a sprin
The clerks came on the slide.
He wore a f%ifty-dollar coat;
Oh! he looked mighty swell.

A man sat in a lonely cell,
An iron ball at his toe;
His number was one-forty-eight;
The time dragged by slow.
He wore a colored striped suit;

Young man, don't be a CRATER
Earn your money day by day.
The long and sure route is the best
And only honest way.
'Tis best to spend your latter years
At home where all Is well,
And not be cracking granite blocks
At prison in a cell.

Labrador spfuce,

In the vicinity of this camp we saw
some of the largest spruce timber that
we came upon in the whole journey
across Labrador. Some of these trees
were fully % inches in diameter at
the butt and perhaps so to 60 feet in
height. These large trees were very
scattered, however, and too few to be
of commercial value. For the most
part the trees that we met with were
six to eight, and, occasionally, ten
inches through, scrubby and knotted.
In Labrador trees worth the cutting
are always located near streams In
sheltered valleys.-Outing Magazine.
