Captain Johnson Looking Up Another For
gotten Hero. Admiral Evans as a Young
Lieutenant
Capt. John 0. johnson of Liberty, in
sending us the following letter from
Henry 5. Burrage, Brit. Major U. S. V.
and Recorder Of the Maine Legion of
Honor, says he does not know why he
sends it. unless it was that he would
like his friends to read it. AS to the
other forgotten hero referred to by
Major Burrage, Capt. johnson prom
ises to explain later:
PORTLAND, AUG. s. 1908.
MY Dear Capt. Johnson:
| have read your letter with interest.
You have the faculty of making things
interesting. That was a great compli-
ment that Admiral Evans paid to you
at Camden, johnson, you made good
speech" You had the time of your life
at Camden, but will live, hope, to see
that justice is paid to Woodman's men,
DRY. The thing to do is to keep at work
as you are doing. One clue leads to
another, and | have no doubt but that
in time you will find where he came
FROM Then the story of his deeds will
be told by you and Capt. Brown. Capt.
Brown may fail you, but you can tell
the story, as you are so familiar with
it. So keep at it, We shall not be here
a great while, and what we do must be
done quickly.
Since writing the above l have re-
ceived letter from Capt. Brown, who
says he is getting about again, and that
when you make the promised visit in
September, something will be done
about the war paper.
Very truly yours,
HENRY S. BURRAGE,
Recorder.

A SYLVAN HOME.

Give me a place deep in some tangled woody
glade
Where in the days gone by some vagrom fairy
strayed,
Some happy, care free, and contented little
gnOme,
To whom twas home.
Clothe all the trees in soft, soulresting, spring
time green
A sort of bower lustrous with scintillant
sheen
Whose waving branches call the flying birds to
. And build their nest.
Quite close at hand I'd have babbling silver
brook
To fill with music sweet my quiet sylvan nook ;
And deep within its pools let trout or salmon
be,
Unframed of me.
Let deer and fox, and all the woodland creatures
come,
And be my neighbors, unafraid and frolicsome,
To sport about my doorstep gaily-as one
spends
A day with friends
And in the night, when all the wood is still,
Find smiling visitors arriving from the sky
The dancing moon-rays, and the star-beams
full of glee
For company.
