That the dark year had slain the in

Would lie, as now, in mine, beloved

And like some magic spring, your

Hold all the summer skies.

Blade after blade, amid the song OF

The grass stole back once more, ami

The ancient music Of the Yernal

Half laughter and half tears.
All, love, and now too swiftly, like

The mad young year, delirious with

Squanders his fairy treasure, bloom

Too soon the wild rose hastens K

Too swift, o June, thy feet.

All glory and gladness in so brief a

And bid thy wild musicians, softlier

The longest summer ends.

 Tackles Golf
Former Speaker Makes Four
 Hole in 27, But Still Likes the Game

Boston, Sept. 6-Former Speaker Jo- seph Cannon awoke on Monday morn ing with the idea that golf was all that the lamented Dan Daley said. it was and then some more
 Pretty soft,'' he remarked to Capt John w. Weeks, who represents the Twelfth Massachusetts district in Con- gress.
 Capt. Weeks doesn't think so lightly of golf and to convince the former Speaker that the. Presidents favorite pastime was anything but a game for mollycoddles took him to the Brae Burn Country Club at West Newton.
 This course is a pretty stiff test of any players golf, and here the Dan vile leader started the game. The first hole is just short of 400 yards, long, straight, down a hill, with a brook protecting the green about fifty yards this side of it. Uncle Joe s initial effort with wooden club net ted him about 15O feet. "Soft,'' he remarked again. The bogey for this hole is 4. From the clubhouse they say he took twenty strokes to the edge of the green, and authorities say he used seven puts. The round was all the same. He counted till he could count no more, and then ap- proximated the remaining holes. On his return he was heard to remark: Its hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but it's a great game" When he left Boston yesterday afternoon he still held the same opinion and Dan villeites may expect to see their Con- gressman chasing the pill from now
