BACK TO NATURE.

(From the Washington Star.) I long for life. for the real thing; Not the dawdling of dreamy days, Nor the kind that the rawhide poets
 sing
 In carefully roughened phrase. ask for no glimpse of the tinlid deer That fees from the hunters call, Let me get out there with the crowds
 that cheer
 The bunch that is playing ball. Back to the primal state where man Is close to old natures heart
 we once began.
 Unpolished by time and art; Where the spirit of contest surges
 fast
 And the chances that may befall Are eagerly waited from first to last Where the bunch is playing ball! Let the dreamer go out heath the stars
 so bright
 And defy the lightning's play. The stars are where they belong, all
 right,
 And the lightning is miles away. And the untamed beast will be on the
 run
 If he hears your footsteps fall. The placid wildwood I fain would
 shun The signal I hear, Play ballr' Let me hark to the shout and the bat tie cry
 As the foe is put to rout; Let me dodge the missiles that swift ly fly
 When the umpire says You're out," Let me lift my voice with the general
 throng,
 Prince and grounding and all. Where nature is unrestrained and
 strong.
 Out there where the bunch plays ball
