THE SWING.

A little lad in grapevine swing,
The soft grass tiptoes to kiss my
feet
And there in the thicket are birds
awning
That call to each other, wild and
sweet.
The violets wink with their one bright
eye
As rise and fall in the fiower-kissed
air,
And over me bends the far blue sky,
And 1 know it is springtime every
where.
The tree tops beckon-ah, how they
call;
If only could reach them how glad
I'd be,
For I'd know how the stately ships
and tall
Come sailing in from the trackless
sea.
Where the lighthouse stands, how the
sea gulls fly,
O trees, though 1 seem such tiny
thing,
shall look DER your green wall by
and by
When 1 rise to the height Of my
grapevine swing.
But mine the rim OF the purple hills,
Mine the sunshine on peak ant
glade,
Mine the music of hidden rills
And the Joy of heart that il un
afraid.
Mine thebirthright Of Joy to be,
The wonderful future that shal
bring
The whole wide world to my feel -ah
me,
For the little lad in the grapevine
swing!
For the days are many that lie be
tween
And the swing of life has gone u
and down
In unmapped shade. Still the tire
tops lean
And whisper Of wealth and Of hig
renown
That lie beyond them. l shall not Sc
The promised vision; and yet clin
Close to the worlds heart warm an

Nor mourn the glory that may nc

Content that Gods blue sky smiles

APPLES WILL Be Spec
IAL FEATURE
Unusual Inducements This Year for
Somerset County Orchardists to En-
hibit at the Coming Fair

A few years since some SkOWhegan
gentlemen took steps to hold a horti-
cultural exhibit and to make it an
annual affair chiefly to encourage the
raising of apples in this section. The
plan was not matured according to
original intentions. but was allowed
to lapse with the idea that this apple
exhibit could be made a part of the
Somerset Centr.' Fair The fall fol-
lowing the plans above mentioned
some liberal prizes were offered
through the courtesy Of DR.. George o.
Smith, and from these two circum-
stances has grown the plan for the
fair of this year which is sure to call
out apple exhibits seldom seen in the
State of Maine, Public spirited citi-
zens of Skowhegan, who have special
faith in this section as an orchard
area, have offered prizes of $1,000 each
for the best bushel box of several
standard varieties. The donors with
the name of the variety for which they
donated their prizes. are as follows:
J. C. Griffin. Ganos; Walter p. Ord
way Baldwins; Charles W. Day Nc
Intosh Reds; Miss Louise II. Coburn
Northern Spys; Carleton p. Merrill
Starks; j. W. Fogler, Kings; Charles
r. Cook. Wealthys; Harvey d, Eaton

Cooperative Telephone Co, Rhode Is
land Greetings, J. r. Mcclellan Far
mers' Rewards.
The society will furnish the eXhibi-
tors with boxes, and they may be
obtained upon application at this Of
fee. The fruit must be packed ready
for shipment. but the exhibit is to be
made with the cover removed. The
premiums are of such liberal pro-
portions as to justify the sale of the
winning exhibits for the benefit of the
society.
Like all other exhibits of the Som
erset Central Fair, it should be borne
in mind that apples from any part
of the county may compete for these
special premiums. The usual prizes
are offered for a large number Of
varieties as in former years. 1t will
interest prospective exhibitors and
others to know that A. X Gardner,
State horticulturist, and son of Ex-
Senator Gardner. is to judge the fruits
at the Fair, including these special
exhibits.
The premium lists which gives the
prizes to be awarded for exhibits in
all departments live stock, poultry
etc, are now ready for delivery. They
may be had at this office, or from any
officer of the society or will be mail
ed to any one upon request.
