Wellman, he had native prepare for him dia- gram of the native rigadon, or Spanish quadrlle, that he might study its move- ments, and be able to lead the wives of the presidentes through its mazes in a creditable manner. In forty days he at tended score of state balls, '.literally dancing and smiling his way into the hearts of the people," He is happy halfway, in MT. Wellman's opinion, be- tween Roosevelt and Mckinley. He may never fire the hearts of the people as Roosevelt has. and may never be looked upon as a paragon of unpicturesuue goodness, as Mckinley was; but he will be master without carrying a whip, he will take infinite pains to get at all the facts, and he will obtain results.

bliss Carman in Golfers Weekly
1t is the mellow season
When gold enchantment lies
On stream and road and woodland,
To gladden. souls surmise.
The little old gray homesteads
Are quiet as can be,
Among their stone fenced orchards
And meadows by the sea.
Here lived the men who gave us
The purpose that holds fast,
The dream that nerves endeavor,
The glory that shall last.
Here strong as pines in winter
And free as ripening corn,
Our faith in fair ideals
Our fathers faith-was born.
Here shone through simple living,
With pride in word and deed,
And consciences of granite,
The old New England breed.
With souls assayed by hardship,
Illumined, self-possessed,
Strongly they lived, and left us
Their passion for the best.
On trails that cut the sunset,
Above the last divide,
The vision has not vanished,
The whisper has not died.
From Shasta to Katahdin,
Blue Hill to Smoky Ridge,
Still stand the just convictions
That stood at Concord Bridge.
Beneath our gilded revel,
Behind our ardent boast,
Above our young impotence
To value least and most,
Sure as the swinging compass
To swerve at touch of need,
Square to the worlds four corners,
AbideS their fearless creed.
Still fired with working,
Intolerant of peers,
Impetuous and sanguine
After the hundred years,
In likeness to our fathers,
Beyond the safe-marked scope
Of reason and decorum,
We jest and dare and hope.
Thank we the Blood that bred us,
Clear fiber and clean strain
The Truth which straightly sighted
Let's no one swerve again.
And may almighty Goodness
Give us the will to be
AS sweet as upland pastures
And strong as wind at sea.
