together the rigors Of the doseret, the
hostility of the elements, the savergy
of the Indians the hardships of 'front.'

like the blows of the hammer on white |
hot iron, have merely served to weld
our friendships the closer And now |

friends. Everything that is good we
rave in our state, and yet nothing that
