AFTER LONG YEARS.

Dear, whom would not know
II / passed you on the street,
So long and long and long ago
Are the days when we used to meet,
You may be glad to hear
That somewhere out of the blue
Come vague sweet dreams that bring you
near,
That l often think Of you;
That now and then | thrill
At rustic in the dark;
That l start as the wind sweeps over the
hill,
As 1 see the fre-hys spark.
Somebody stepped on my grave?
Or somebody slipped out of yours?
| cannot tell There are ghosts that
crave
A bit of the love that endures.

or course, the action Of Speaker
Cannon In having special committee
appointed to investigate the paper trust
and the price Of wood pulp and paper
is but to try and evade action, with

But can this implied promise be relied
on, and how will the people fare In
the tariff reductions they desire? If
the tariff protection the paper trust
enjoys Is taken from it, why should
other trusts still be protected? The
whole brood of trusts would then take

managers would be more seriously
alarmed than the managers Of trusts.
