With Our Little Virginia Poets
FISHING.

You have heard 'em talk OF hunting
with the best OF dog and gun:
And you've heard EN- braG OF stalk
ing,
Which these fellows think is fun.
But for my part give me nshing--
With II rod and box Of bait,
And my mind just full OF wishing
For the bass the small fish hate.
The night before the day to come
/ Sit up tin midnight
Fixing lines and arranging bats,
And putting all just right.
And when at last do retire.
Fishing stays on MY mind:
| dream about the savage pike
That breaks the strongest line.
The next morning brieht and early
start upon my way.
/ see the pale lights In the east
And am thrilled at the coming day.
Arriving at the placid lake.
Which the swallows are Swimming
place my outfit in tho boat
And pail TO the opposite short.
| do not have to think about
y place on the lake to fish.
j always row to the same old spot
Where one filed my greateet wish.
tie my boat to the same old stump
That had used before:
begin to fix my rod and bait
The first cast make without any
luck
The same with cast three. four and
five.
Eut on my sixth monster strikes
And takes the bait with "a dive.
dy heart leaps up into my mouth.
hit with all my might:
There comes pause, the line grows
tnunt
And then begins the fight.
He makes Il run. give him lina.
some twenty yards or more.
Then when turn him back again
He makes for the opposite short.
Thus does the battlc OF wits go on;
battle with thrills and fun:
Diving, turning, jumping and playing
Until the fight IS won.
The conqucrcr at last wins DER his
prey
As they did In the days OF Old:
Blu; never n warrior fought lii. him,
Hes worth hiG weight in go,i

RETURN OF PRINCESS SPRING.

Princess Spring was quietly sleep
Ing beneath a blanket Of snow that
cold, snowy day In January. She had
been in this same spot ever since
summer had taken her magic wan
had ruled over her domains
ever since that fatal midnight of
the thirty-tirst Of May. when she had
been hanished from her throne and
her kingdom until the Hrst OF March
when She would again rule trium-
phant!y for three short months. Dur
ing this long period she had not
awakened. To her ali weather was
the same-the sun would occasionlv
Elimmcr brightly over her the rain
or July storm did not awake her out
OF her REVERSE, and now the snow
served as her mantle. But II made no
difference with her for she was
swcctIy sleeping. and she knew moth
ing OF the wcather-hcr dreams were
full OF JOY thInhlng of the time
when she could again rule. AS each
day passed IL brought the Princess
nearer the tim" when she should he

from her throne the proud King
Winter. Gradually the blanket or
snow melted. and she was left alone
in the solemn quictudc OF the pro-
tecting woods, save a few year
round birds. And thus tho time
elapsed. until The ?Sth Of February
came. Princess Spring now awoks
and was preparing TO rule the earth

mans She asked him 10 shine brlgu,
~ at times 10 melt tie branch. and
then to 20 behind the clouds. as hu-
mans need both sunshin. and shade.
She next asked the clouds TO CONF
down In silvery raindrops upon the
earth. SO vegetation could bud and
bloom. The third thing she did was
to ask the merry Little Breeacs To
blow gently over the earth, so the
air would he cool and beneficial to
the human body. Princess Spring
then fled In haste To the woods. hu;
not as she had when summer took
the throne. This flight was to
awaken mother nature from herlo
winter nap. The trees that had been
covered with G!istcniug iciclts when
King Winter re!gned. 10! began to
bud. and soon they would be covered
In mantle Of green.
