SPRING FEVER
Bv MRS. E. w. H.

I like to stand a-lookin',
While my breakfast is a-cookin'
Out, across the tangled swamps 81
Muckalee;
Where the flaming of the maple
Rises 'gainst the hazy purple,
And | fancy fairy voices call to nae
Yes. of Spring-time, I am certain,
For the dog woods snowy curtain
Floats in waving pillows on each
vagrant breeze.
And I catch the perfume subtle
Of wild plum and honeysuckle,
AS they flaunt their invitation to
the bees.
Tool hear the tuneful drumming
Of woodpecker's noisy drumming
On the ghost of what was once
stately tree.
While the blue birds mellow twitter
And the sparrow's noisy litter,
Weave the web of Springs enchant'
ment over me.
Then for one thought I fain would
follow
Over hills, through vale and hollow,
All forgotten of the world leave
behind.
For l have freakish fancying
That I'd find the fairies dancing
In some sylvan palace, near an elfin
shrine.
Or, perhaps, I'd catch Pan sleeping,
Where the sluggish waters creeping,
Underneath the budding willows
bittersweet,
While upon the deep, dark MOSES
And new rushes Of the marshes,
I would find the imprint of small
fairy feet,
Yes, I like to stand a-lookin'
And forget my breakfast cookin'
Out, across the tangled swamps Of
Muckalee.
Where the flaming of the maple
Rises 'gainst the hazy purple
And I'm sure that fairy voices call
to me.

The Tines Recorder would never

could set an example for some folks
to follow in whose actions are ex-
emplified the fundamental princi-
pals of success-brains and dog
ged determination to do her best.
The story comes to Us of old
June, a mule, who gains her daily
oats and hay by putting back
empty tram cars in a quarry, has
been with the company since it
started operations years ago and
she knows her business. The cars
run down the dump by gravity,
A man dumps the car, connects old
Jude with it, and she haulc it back
In the quarry she is relieved of
her load and returns to the dump
pile. She does this without
driver.
In the morning she is let out of
the lot and she goes to the kilns.
When the bell rings to start to
work she starts up the hill with the
men. When the bell rings for
dinner she ambles off down the
hill again. No one has to tell her
to get out of the way of blast.
When they boiler "Fire in the hole"
she knows what it means and runs

After the explosion she ambles

and finding joy in its doing no mat
ter how humble it may be is the
way to win success finally. We
commend the sticking qualities of

cratic cooperation, it is now be-
lieved, can save Mr.. Harding from
humiliation at the HAMS Of his

The Senate viii not have an op-
portunity to consider the Presi-

his mind and calls a special ses-

ing on his political opponents for
the success of his programmed
all this, too, while he was striving
for denomination and urging the
virtues of his foreign policies as
reasons why he should be continu-

Many Republicans foresee that
the moral of this situation would
be that there would not be much
public advantage in re-electing a
Republican President who couldn't
command the good will or collabo "
ration of Republican Senators and
Congressmen and who had to rely
upon Democrats to give force and
effect to his major foreign policies
There will be little chance in 1924
to get a Republican Senate in ac-
cord with the Republican President
but there will be a fine opportunity
to get Democratic Senate that
will work together on both domes-
tic and international programs.
