The Penalty

I cannot stay in this November rain
To smell the moistened earth, the
burning deaves.
In scattered piles of brown and Smoth-
cred flame
This final sadness that the year
achieves
Is no less sharp because it has no
name.
I cannot stay in this November rain
To hear its knocking, answerlesS re-
frain.
The old grey horse beneath the lamp
is wise:
To him November is an interludc
Between the grains, with dusty roads
grown cold;
A 1amp-lit interval when earth is hued
For browsing. SPINNER is too brightly
gold.
The old grew horse beneath the lamp
is wise,-
There are no questions in his kindly
eyes.

Franklin Journal says: A Whatisit
| growth of L. A. Odell OF Pennington
is another freak of freak year.
| 1t is supposed to be a pumpkin, was
| probably intended to be one, at any
rate, but by cross pollination or
! other unaccountable means its
| identity is lost and 1t might be a
squash, melon, citron.sof what not,
resembling. any fully as much as it
does pumpkin. Well-meaning Ell
forts of Nature to improve the
species are commendabie, but all
lovers of the delectable and time-
honored New England pie fruit will
|, doubtless look upon this particular
failure as a matter calling for
heartiest congratulations.
