The Coming Time.

The Coming Time.
(Judd Mortimer Lewis, in Houston Po.t
They are twenty times as loving as thew
ever used to be,
They come to me with their kisses. and
their arms held out to me.
AS they used to come with blossoms they
had piucked to make a crown.
And they'd make me take my hat on. ana
they'd keep me bending down
While they crowned me with the blossoms
purple clover, roses red
How they used to love to gather them to
put on my head!
And / may have had a notion that they
looked ridiculous.
But twas love that plucked and wreathed
them, and loves good enough for us.
They come to me with their kisses just
the way they used to do,
And they pluck the fairest blossoms, bios
SONS red and blossoms blue.
But they do not crown me with them as
they did in days of yore.
They will weave crown of blossoms for
my wearing nevermore,
But they pin them on my coat and they
reach up for kiss,
And there's nothing in the past that's
equal to the present bliss:
But l wish l had to StoOp more for the
kisses than l do:
They have both grown SO much taller
than the little girls ! knew.
than the girls that used to be,
Than the girls that used to Chamber at
the nightfall to my knee:
And the way they've grown up makes me
catch my breath and look away
To what's waiting in the future, from
what gladdens the today
To the day they'll go in loving out away
from the home street,
Hand in hand with other loved ones TO
world grown more than sweet.
Where birds sing and flowers blossom and
life seems set to rhyne- az.
From then to the roads 1ar endlng lie
will seem a lonesome Time.
| Ever since the Presidential election the

in the town of Hurricane Isle NOV. Z,
myself being the only voter IN the town.
hence no election"

! itself of the above. taking tnat metnoo
of giving the news to it's readers, AFTER

fully refraining from publishing It.
Today-Friday, Nov. A.-has been desig-
mated by someone, probably the whole

1t develops from the recent visit of
Thomas Mott Osborn to the naval prison
and detention ship at the United States
navy yard at Kittery. Maine-just across
| the river from Portsmouth. N. H.-that
Secretary of the Navy Daniels is per-
sonally opposed to naval prisons and
wishes to abolish all Of them, relying on
detention ships for the confinement OF
prisoners. 1t is also said that if the navy
prison on Seavey's island should be abol-
ished, it would serve admirably as
barracks or ammunition depot.

A week for the Canadian lobster
fishing season has passed and not
enough of the shell fish have reached
the Frontier City to supply even
small hotel and the fishermen about
the bay report a scarcity at that part
of the month. HOLSTERS are rarely
seen in Eastport harbor, and not often
caught, and in recent years the Maine
lobster fishery steamers have scat
tered millions of "fry" in neighboring
coves and rivers, but it would seem as
if these Holsters later went into deeper
waters on the approach of cold wealth
