oh, hurry fast, Professor Grow,
Uncle John Hare is held in the snow.
And the Old Brown Horse hitched to
the sleigh
In the binding snow has lost his
way.
Well, sir. Professor Jim Grow lost
no time in reaching the Shady For
est to gather a number of his crow
friends. Then picking up piece OF
long rope from his toolchest in his
Pine Tree Bungalow, the good old
crow, followed by his comrades,
winged his way back to Uncle John
Hare and the Old Brown Horse, who
were patiently waiting for relief.
Dear me, the snow was whirling so
about in white clouds that even the
keen eyes of Professor Jim Grow had
trouble to find them. But they did,
oh yes, indeedy. And in short time
Professor Jim Crow had tied the
rope around Uncle John Hare's waist.
Then all the crows pulled him out
with a cav and a shout and dropped
him safely into the sleigh.
"Put these goggles on the Oid
Brown Horse" begged the old gentle
man rabbit, handing them to Profess
| SOr Jim crow. NO easy l1dtter, loh
the binders made it difficult to fasten
them on securely. But when this was
| done, the Old Brown Horse started
off and the kind crows winged their
way back to the Shady Forest. On
and on plodded the plucky old
animal, drawing the sleigh after him
over bumps and around drifts until
at last he came to the Sunny
Meadow. Luckily he had come right
| to the gateway in the Old Rail
Fence and stopping only for mo
ment to get his breath, he started
eff again. "Whew!" he painted on
reaching the Bubbling Brook, which
now. of course, was frozen over. y

Cottontail looked out of her little

snowclouds she could just make out

back into the house And. would you

The Ivy Green

The Ivy Green
o, dainty plant is the ivy green.
That creepeth DER ruins old!
OF right choice food are his meals,
ween,
In his cell so lone and cold.
The walls must be crumbled, the
stones decayed,
To pleasure his dainty whim;
And the Wondering dust that years
have made
Is a merry meal for him.
Creeping where no life is seen
A rare old plant is the ivy green.
Fast he stealeth on, although he wears
no wings,
And staunch old heart has he!
How closely he twineth, how tight he
clings
To his friend, the huge oak-tree! >
And slyly he traileth along the ground,
And his leaves he gently waves:
And he joyously twines and hugs
around
The rich mould of dead mems graves.
Creeping where no life is seen,
A rare old plant is the ivy green.
Whole ages have fed land their works
decayed.
And nations scattered been;
But the stout old ivy shall never fade
The brave old plant in its lonely days
Shall fatten upon the past;
For the stateliest building man can
raise
Is the ivy's food at last.
Creeping where no life is seem
rare old plant is the ivy green.

"Poets ! have loved so deeply,
Poets ! have loved SO long,
Teach me, ah graveIy teach me
The wonder of broken song."
NEIGHBoR'S ADVICE INTER-
RUPTED

Included in the annual report of the
Massachusetts public utilities COM
mission is a warning of need for
legislation to protect the home users
of electricity from demands that
might take it out of that State. We
clip the following from the Boston
Globes news review of the commits
sion's report:
"The report calls attention to the
fact that the control and operation of
a number of New England electric
companies are passing into the hands
of outside capitalists and argue that
if this movement continues the hydro
electric power of New England may
be exported at the expense of the
industrial and agricultural interests
of the State.
Legislation at this time may pre-
vent the rise of the serious question
in the future as to the power of the
State to regulate and control the eX-
portation and importation of electric
ity. Moreover, rate regulation is
bound to be crippled if contracts
which have not received the approx
al of the department are made be-
tween companies.
'to the effect that any contract by a
public utility for the supply of cleo
tricity or power for period in ex-
cess of one year should be subject
to the approval of this department
and should in the absence of such
approval be null and void.'"
This suggests that citizens of
Massachusetts may find it expedient
10, off al q
Maine about her constitutional rights
respecting water powers and devote
her attention to regulating her own
electrical power affairs.
Certain professed authorities resi-
dents of our neighboring State have
been telling Maine that she has no
constitutional right to power gener-
ated from her waterfalls, that she
is a dog in the manger and ought to
be ashamed of herself. Now were
we to admit that perhaps Maine is not
altogether wise in her treatment of
the situation and should endeavor to
find way to improve on it, our
Massachusetts advisers, in light of
Herf COMMISSION warning, should
hesitate to tell us we should not also
consider the warning as possibly of
some application to our own situa-
ton.
OF course Maine is situated differ
emily, in that for the immediate pres
ent she isn't making use of all the
power possibilities within her State
lines. Yet, why, in Massachusetts
where there is supposed to be de-
Inand for more power than is now
available there, should any question
arise respecting her ability to keep
what she has for home uses? Have
not the experts, including those from
Massachusetts, been telling Maine
she need not worry, that no concern
would ship electrical power to a dis
lance as it would be more profit
able for ':se at home? If this be SO.
Why does not the same principle ap-
ply in Massachusetts, and what pos
sible need can there be for legislation
to protect the home users of that
State?

HERE'S WHY

Thank Commander Macmillan for
telling us why Matt Henson went to
the North Pole with Peary. 1t was
not because Henson's skin Is black;
1t was because Henson was just the
real man he needed, the only one of
several real men with Peary. who
could build snow house and was al
together the most efficient of them
all.
We get some insight respecting this
man Henson when we learn that he
was the best dog driver. that he
learned the Eskimo language. that he
could get along with them, that he
was equipped to do that which Peary
saw it was essential to have done If
the efforts were to be a success.
Matt Henson was a clerk in a New
York hat store when Peary found
him several years before the Arctic
Expedition and when he was looking
for a, personal aid to accompany him
on an expedition to Nicaragua. The
rroprietors of that hat shop, who
knew Peary and were interested in
his success, recommended Henson.
That's how the great explorer came
to appreciate and use to the utmost
the splendid qualities of this black
man. He never would have known
from anything Henson would have
told him, as Henson is one OF the
most retiring Of men. He is now en-
ployed as mail clerk in the cores
pordence Office Of New York's col
lector of internal revenue. and IT Is
said half his associates do not know
that he was an important and neces-
sary factor in one of the greatest
hazards in exploration that ever was
made. Hats off to Matt Henson.
