Remember, | Remember.
(Thomas Hood, in The Editorish
! remember, remember,
! The house where 1 was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon,
Nor brought too long a day.
But now 1 often wish the night
! Had borne my breath away.
remember, / remember
( The roses, red and white,
The volets, and the lily-cups-
Those flowers made Of lght
The liacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
/ The laburum on his birthday
! The tree is living yet.
I remember, I remember
Where l used to swing,
! And thought the air must rush as fresn
To swallows on the wing;
NV spirit flew in feathers tnen'
| That is so heavy now, .
And summer pools could hardly cool
| The fever on my brow!
l remember l remember
The fr-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky
1t was childish ignorance.
z
To know I'm farther off from heaven
Tnen when l was a boy.

Sometimes a dummy train, containing
a few officials in a common day coacn

without a stop About five minutes
later the regular gold train consisting
of from three to seven steel passenger
cars ana one COdCI, diiANSS' =
nothing to see but these cars ana the
faces of three or four express messen-
gers peering through grated windows
sometimes they open the doors for a
little fresh air and if anyone ventures
to ask them a question, they are about
as loouacious as the Sphinx. After a
stop of a few moments, the train passes
along. That's all there is to a golo

The Maine fish and game laws are
not the only ones that suffer from toe
much legislation, says the Maine
Woods. Now the national law givers
are at it and are doing their best to
make the Migratory Bird law so com
plex and obscure that to dare shoot a

expert lawyer. We received copy OF
the proposed laws and a request for
publicity so we are giving it to them in
another column. We want everyone
!, to see how absurd 1t is to make law

1t is bad enough as it is, but they are
not satisfied and now are asking for
suggestions. Soon all the fertile brains
in the country will be at work to make
it worse.
