There is strong sentiment for Col.
Theodore Roosevelt in New Jersey
and in Connecticut, and it is grow
ing all the time. Republicans, both
progressive and regular, admit this
fact. The men who were opposed to
the ex-president at one time do not
say in so many words that they are
for him, but they give the impress
sion that they will fall in line if he
is nominated next June.

LURE OF THE HILLS

The olden hills, the olden hills
The hills my boyhood knew.
Their bosoms sparkling with the rius
Where ferns in masses grew.
Their meadows laughing 70 tbo

That blew all care away:
While over all the witcheries
OF youth and summer Law
To me they We're as living tbircs
Good friends that knew nv moods

springs
And rapture in their woods,
And every bird song full of cheer
And every vagrant scent
conveyed a tender message clear
OF peace and sweet content
The olden hills loved so well
Where oft l wandered fraa.
And still on me they cast their s,ou
And still they call to me.
Upon their shade the robin tb-,,,.
Above them skies are blue
NY hearts aweary for the hills
