A. D. GASH, LAWYER, PUBLISHES MS POEMS We are in receipt of a book of poems from the pen of one of our own fellow-townsmen, Abram Dale Gash, by profession a lawyer. The volume is entitled "The Triumph and Other Poems.- "The Triumph," his latest literary production, was written with a view of elevating humanity in general and to assist in getting the world away from war. The other poems are varied in form and content. The lines on Niagara are vigorous and sprightly, as the fol- lowing excerpt indicates: A joy fills my soul as I muse of Niagara; When, quick to the race, it leaps forth from the lake; The flash, and the dash, as it runs on so merry; Enthuse with its sparkle all eyes who partake. Colonel Gash's Muse is in turn patriotic, as when she sings of war and peace; again she is lyric when she celebrates the eternity of faithful love; she scorns not the humorous and rural, but recounts in simple verse the sorrows of the amateur auto-mechan- ic and the joys of rustic life. In the account of the literary achievements of Wilmette must be in- cluded the poems of Abram Dale Gash. Mr. Gash resides at 527 Central avenue.
