A single song and carelessly complete.
He would not bind and thrash his

Nor bring his wild fruit to the common
To store the acid rinsings, thin and flat,
| Squeezed from the press or trodden I'M
der feet
A few slow beads. blood-red and honey
Oozed from the grape, which burst and
| split it's fat.

| things
That weight his pack, will carry dia-

of Boston had an experience few
nights ago near the foot of Mt. katah-

men accompanied by their guide and

| hours between shutdown and daylight
| in walking up and down in a vain eff
| fort to keep warm. The only box of
| matches in the party was either lost
or nislaid and with the thermometer
well down towards the freezing point
! they had no means of lighting a fire.
The visitors from the Huh were obliged
tc retrace their steps without making
| any attempt to reach the summit and
! they declare that when they visit Mt
| Katahdin again they will carry a sep.
arate box of matches in every pocket.
