A Poem a Day



Thou knowest nought OF measure.
OF radius to it's circumference:
And yet In sector or In arc no haw
betrays crude workmanship or ig-
noranee. .
Thou spinnest well thy web. Taut
are the ropes
On which each delicately woven
thread
As fran and perishable N mans
And glowing with false tints. like
drsams--is spread.
The arcs sink concave from the
wheels straight rays.
Az soft winds blow the rainbow
threads. loose strung.
Across the web . white winged crea-
ture strays:
From its soft bulk the life-stream
soon is wrung
And thou. who buildest a. no man
can huild.
Canst frame thy dwelling. weave
Its tapestries
Light as the dew from fairies breath
distilled
And tinted with the dewdrop's
Hast used thy art to snare thy prey!
'Tts done!
All ends In self which has In self
begun;
Thou roiiest up thy web which thou
hast spun.
And diest I'm the passing OF sun.

ELK ARE KILLED

Elk killers are busy In the Olympic national
forest. according to r l.. Fromme forest su.
pervisor In charge OF the reserve, who has
arrived In Seattle. Rangers have reported
finding several carcasses within the last few
days. Nothing but the teeth was taken. De-
spite the losses from tooth hunters the elk
herds Of the Olympics are in good shape and
according to the estimate made by rangers
this summer, number seven thousand head
OF these elk five thousand range within the
borders Of the national forest.
Mr.. Fromme Is well pleased with the work
Of the rangers during the summer. The ex
pense incurred fighting fires, outside OF the
regular salary paid the rangers. was only $13C
40 compared with $4,000 last year. This in spite
OF the fact that a great many more campers
and tourists visited the forest this year than
