Dear Editor-I arn certain that many of the aIder Darlington people, especially those in the Solina district, will regret the less cf an old friend, wben they learn that Charles M. Bice for many years the ablest cf the correspondents cf The Statesman, dropped dead in bis borne in Denver, Colorado, wbere for over fifty years he was a distinguished lawyer, not rnerely in conducting legal trials, but in writing a bock about Law. From tbe time I was ten tili I was tbirteen, we were very dear chunis. From the end cf April te the begin- ning of November, Cbarley and 1 spent our Saturdays in some of tbe wooded districts around Solina, and we were supremely bappy together. I have always loved the woods more than any ether cf Nature's glories. Se did Charley. From thirteen te sixteen, he and I teck Dick Pascoe as a chum, and we were unusually good friends. He and I corresponded aIl tbrougb the years. I received my last letter from him at Christmas time. He be- gan, "My Ilear Old Friend Jim, 1 was the happy recipient cf a dear little poem frem you, and heartily join you in the wish se beautifully express- ed in it niight bave an early fulfilI- ment". He told me be bad a visiter a short time before be received my- letter,, wbe told him he had corne from Tor- onto; "I asked birn if be knew Jim Hughes"? He said "'yes. 1 know him te be a great man and a wonderful orator". He and 1 practised public sýpeaking when we were ten and for years after. He closed by saying: "Well, old boy, how are you faring in life's bat- VIes? I arn a year older than ycu, and still gcing strong. Hoping that you will be with me for many years te corne, I will subscribe myself as your old and ever true friend. Our frîendshîp thro.ugh seventy-twe years helped te make us better men. He was a year eIder than 1. Had he lived till February 3rd he would have been eighty-tbree. I shahl be eighty- twe on February 20tb. The verses I sent te Charles for hie laist Christmas under a picture cf a hearthllre were: Cerne share with me, dear friend, today, The hearthfire cf the past; To see you smile and bear old tales, Would make my beart beat fast. The recollections cf the days 0f youth se, long age, Still kindle what je best in us And keep or hearts aglow. We'll gather golden mernories 0f days cf auld lang syne, And ligbt them in or bearts again To make life brigbtly shine. -James L. Hughes.
