| /, such a precious go-between,
| This old October time.
1t isn't Springtime's radiant sheen.
| Nor summers airs sublime:
It's kind of tempered down the breeze
| IL signs whene er II blows
And ''wobbles' midst the yellow trees,
And whistles down the rows.
| sit me here beneath a tree
| Where soft winds sadly blow,
And dreams of youth return to me-
The dreams of long ago;
These rare, old scenes awaken
| Such thoughts l cannot tell,
And back my soul is taken
My mem'ry's magic SPELL
| l cannot tell how sweet TO me
These visions that are given;
/ | only know again | see
Loved faces long in Heaven;
| And with those faces beaniing far
Once more I'm young and strong,
And mother with her silver hair,
| l see amidst the throng!

Maine Woods has received the fol-
lowing from E. G. Kent of Orange,
n. J., well-known hunter: Nc
doubt there will be considerable dis
cussion this fall regarding moose and
we shall hear from various localities
in Maine that moose are increasing
or decreasing in numbers. 1t seems
to me that, If moose are to have any
chance at all of holding their own
close season for a term of years is
the only means to accomplish this end.
Maine is the only eastern State where
moose may now be found and it seems
too bad for that asset to be lost to the
people of Maine. A closed season of
four or five years would help, but the
law should be passed this winter or it
will be too late
