THE THREE CENT STAMP.

The following poem was handed
to us by DR.. Geo. r. Tolson, taken
from an old scrap-book which the
Doctor says was written just after
the old Scent stamp went out.
Good-by, old stamp, it's nasty luck
That ends our friendship so.
When others failed, you gamely stuck
But now you've got to go.
So here's a food Of honest tears,
And here's an honest sigh
Good-by, old friend OF many years
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
Your life has been a varied one.
With curious phases fraught-
Sometimes a check. sometimes a dun,
Your daily coming brought;
Smiles to waiting lovers face,
Tears to mothers eye,
Or joy or pain to every place
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
You 'bravely toiled, and better men
Will vouch for what say:
Altho you have been licked, twas
When your face turned t'other way
Twas often in box you got
CAS- you will not deny)-
For going thru the mails, l wot-
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
All, in your last expiring breath
The tale OF years Is heard
The sound Of voices hushed in death,
A mothers dying word,
A maiden's answer, soft and sweet,
A wife's regretful sigh,
The patter of q baby's feet
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
What wonder, then, that at this time
When you and must part,
I should aspire to speak in rhyme
The promptings Of my heart.
Go, 5ide with all those mem ries dear
That live when Others die
You've nobly served your purpose
here
Good-by, old stamp, goodIby!

Great Summer Vacation Season Being Anticipated

dition for summer travel. The United
States government has apportioned to
Becker county $4,000 for work on the

This year the people are not going
to go on long trips for their outings,
but they will spend their vacations as
near home as possible. They will go
where there are the best accommoda-
tons and the most attractions. Where
there are lakes and woods, fish and
birds, flowers and sunshine. Where
the Riddles can play in the sand and
paddle in the water. Where the air Is
pure and everything is fresh and
wholesome. These are few of the rea.-
sons why so many people have formed
the habit and why many more will
make the Detroit country their sum-
mer playground this year.
