SPRING POEMS.

When | come home to dinner
The house is in a plight:
The kitchen range is cold as ice.
Not a thing to eat in sight
For Wifie's writing poems
OF the bright and happy spring.
If | just had that Herald man.
To him l wouldn't do a thing
But say, this is a secret
Between Just me and you;
I've got the fever in my blood;
I'm writing poems, too.

A SPRING AD.

All nature hopes for spring, and why
not 1?
To place an ad I'm going to try;
If in The Herald, Twill surely bring
hubby dear to me this spring.
The ad twill read: Wanted-yes, let me
see;
A lonely maid of twenty three,
With dark blue eyes and curly hair,
Refined in manners, no means 10 spare,
A man to be her debOnair
His heart to give, her love to share
Yes, that will do; line OF two
IT'S sure to bring a hubby true;
If in The Herald the ad appears
IT'S sure to happen, 1 have no fears.

THE AWAKENING OF SPRING.

The Winter breaks. The Spring awakes !
How joyful she trips along.
She gives the rills and wales and hills
A thousand merry tongues of song.
She bids the flowers and birds and bowers
Return again. till far and nigh,
Our Utah lies a paradise
A rainbow fallen from the sky.
She fills the earth with love and mirth +;
Sets industry upon the wing.
Her song of cheer rings sweet and clear,
And all the world is listening.

RAINED DOWN,

The dearest thing that Spring could bring
Was my mammals baby flower.
1t did not SprOut, or yet hatch out:
Only rained down in a shower.
Though it was dark. the poor old stork
Flew with little me through the rain
He held on tight till it was light,
Then gave out in my papa's lane.
That ma was near her little dear
Has been thankful to this hour
The rainbow hue made my eyes blue
In that early April shower.

SPRING..

Working in the secret deep.
Little seeds, now, not asleep,
Pushing, steamng, shooting out,
Coming up, without a doubt
Bursting from their hides, 1 know,
Nature tells us this is so.
First the seed, then the flower:
Spring comes with all her power:
Shows her beauties, great and small.
Shows her beauties, one and all:
Flaunts her beauty here and there:
Flaunts her beauty everywhere.

SIGNS OF SPRING,

OF course we all know
When we have no more snow
And the frogs in the ponds start to
croak,
That the glad spring is here.
And we're all of good cheer
Unless it be those that are broke
You can talk about sunshine and flowers
and birds,
They're pretty sure signs and all that:
But the sureSt of all, and l know it's the
first "
Is the beautiful Easter hat.

HooLIeAN IN SPRING.

I'm middle aged, not knowing much,
Not even born here,

But without any fear.
[ always like to read it's true,
1t is the real, real thing
The Salt Lake Herald for me and you
With "a spirit of the spring,
It makes you feel how you are blessed
If you look at Hooligan and the rest.

Beautiful ladies with bonnets and gowns.

Beautiful birds with your songs of praise.
Beautiful, balmy, bright spring days

SPRING

Spring lambs upon the table,
Spring onions scent the air.
The door spring needs attending to,
The springs broke off the chair.
A hat for spring the wife must have,
To spring upon her friends;
The new bathtub has sprung a leak
Streams springs from both its ends.
No hubby needs to wonder why
His money goes so fast,
Nor why his nerves are all unstrung,
For spring has sprung at last.

SPRING SONG.

Awake! awake! IT'S morning;
The night and chill are passing:
New life, new hopes a-borning;
North winds are not harassing
The things of earth are reaching,
The things of air are singing.
Then up and on with the stir of things.
Oh. the lit and heart and verve of II
The rhythm and beat and joy that swings.
The faith in life and the nerve of il
A thrill of soul in the music rings.
A touch of art in the swerve of il.

ON WITH THE DANCE.

Grim old winter now is dead;
Poll tax collectors just ahead.
Easter toys? you bet" she said.
But think how the old mans pocket bled.
Gentle spring will soon be here;
Time of Violets and book beer;
Then we will be happy, dear,
Waiting down at Wandamere.
This is positively my first offense and
don't care TO go on record as guilty of
the above. A. w. r.

SPRING..

Tap. tap; I see a crack;
Out steps the little thing;
A dark spot on its beak,
A yellow fluffy wing.
And there, on tiny legs,
With sharpest little eyes.
1t opes its beak and begs
For crumbs of bread OF flies.
Spring chicks are toothsome things,
Well fried in butter fat;
And brilliant chicken wings
Adorn the new spring hat.

SpRING is HERE

Spring is coming, Spring is coming!
The little streams with JOY are running
A robin is singing in yonder tree,
Carolling gaily, so wild and free
The blue birds building his eyrie nest
Working and weaving, nor stopping to
rest;
The sun has ever a golden beam
For prairie and mountain, lake and
stream:
And everywhere. from far and near,
Nature is calling Spring is herer'

JOYOUS SPRING,

The coal is up the chimney,
The airy SCOT is on the walls,
My face is full of Whiskers,
My Easter suit last falls; y
The icy blast of winters gone.
So let's gather round and sing
A song to greet the iceman
In the lap of gentle spring.

SPRING.

It's when Natures fond affection
Gives her lilies their complexion,
And the season Utah greetS with honest

Where true Natures true presentment
Bids the dew-drops kiss the Spring buds

Where content and beauty blend;

For with springtime when we need her,
Utah smiles, well satisfied.

THE COMING OF SPRING.

Winter shivered and hundred an awful
blast,
As Spring finally his icy barriers past:
She stood there inside dreary and cold,
For Mother Earth looked so frozen and
cold.
Spring was not daunted she must smile
Mother Earth faltered just little while
Then her lips parted, her face grew
bright;
Mother Earth laughed with all her might
The mountains stretched higher, the sky
grew blue;
This valley. so old. seemed a valley just
new.
Every mountain brook with music SCUM
ded.
Every human heart with some low
bounded.

EARLY SPRING.

Come We so early,
Days of delight,
Making the hillside
BlitheSome and bright
Merrily, merrily,
Little brook, rush
Down the meadow
Under the bush,
Welkin and hilltop
Azure and cool
Fishes are sporting
In StreanIlet and pool.
Birds of gay feather
Fit through the grove
Singing together
Dittes of love.
Busily coming
From moss covered bowers,
Brown bees are humming
Questing for flowers.
Lightsome emotion,
Life everywhere,
Faint watts of fragrance
Seeming the air.
Now comes their rounding
A sigh of the breeze
Shakes throughout the thicket
Sinks in the trees.
Sinks by returning
1t ruffles my hair,
Aid me this rapture,
Muse to bear.

And its violet-studded dells.
Its azure skies and its dancing rills
Its changing winds and its wild bird

What is the story 1t tells?

OF the bees that soon will hum:
of the robins nest In the tree-top high.
OF the starry flowers and the winds that
sigh,
For the summer that soon will come.

 The great wheat section of the east ern States having been practically all brought under cultivation, or raised to such high value, it cannot be consid- cred by those wishing cheap homes, or by the investor who wishes to turn his money over rapidly. Practically all the wild lands in that district that were once available for homestead en- try have been taken up, and those that the railway companies were putting on the market are now in the hands of private individuals and have reached such a value that they are out of the question from an investment stand point or for actual farming operations so that the eyes of the entire world are now being turned towards Western Canada. Conditions here are identi- cal to those prevailing in the Western States, 25 or 30 years ago, only our yields per acre are much larger than those the States produced during a comparative period. Millions of acres of wild lands ready for the blow are available and may be secured at such a figure as to make it an ideal invest ment for the actual farmer or the spec ulator, and on such terms as to be with in the reach of anyone with few hun dred dollars in cash, so that it is but natural that the future 20 years Twill see a development here even greater
 than that which occurred in the Vest ern States during like period. The world already knows just what such land can and will produce, and has seen the wonderful development of the great prairies 1.-the Western States, of which ours are but. counterpart, and thus realize the enormous oppor- tunity that Western Canada offers.
 With our great wheat yield and immi- grafton doubling yearly, it needs no great prophet to make one realize what the ultimate results will be. Already the land is advancing in leaps and bounds, and it is question of but a short time when it will be out of the req oh of the homeseeker of small capi

AN EPIDEMIC OF ILLNESS.

AN EPlDEMlC OF ILLNESS.
 An epidemic of illness seemed to hit this place last week, with unusual se- verity. A great many colds and in- fuenza are felt by many of this vil- lage's population and several in the near vicinity but with Mrs Sarah J. Brown, SS years old, the oldest lady here, and her daughter, Mrs A. E. Corning the colds developed into fever and high temperatures, and pneumonia. They were very i'll during the latter part of the week and over last Sunday and at present writing slight change is manifested. It is feared that Mrs Browns chances for recovery are small.
 John Anderson on N. P. Hill was stricken to the bed, last week, with a severe cold which soon developed into pneumonia and deliriousness and for time his life has hung in the balance, but he is now considered slightly better.
 On Friday night William H. Dougal having severe cold grew worse and on Saturday pneumonia showed itself strongly, which brought his daughter, Mrs Fred 0hmen, quickly to his bed side and a trained nurse arrived there on Sunday morning to assist the physi- clan in battling with the dread disease.
