There is a fine description here of pioneer life, but the words that arrest our attention and make us realize the responsibility of those in the homeland are these “But it’s not this silence that’s numbing Nor the land stark from lowland to The waiting for letters from home.” The poem ends with a beautiful tri- bute: “But memory, truly and fondly, sifting through passion and strife, Crowns with a glory immortal, the deeds of the frontiersman’s wife.” The poems “Furren’ Pete,” “The Call 'of the Frontier Parson,” “Providence”, and “Pioneers” each bring to us a story that is likely to stay in memory. Humor, too, is found in “The Pay- Streak” and “What Bus ”. In the poems, “The Miner’s Friend”, “The Unknown Pine Log Rider” and “‘The Iron-Clad Missionary,” we find pen-pictures of characters of beauty.

Prior in “Our Dumb Animals” In most prisons inmates manage to get hold of a pet of some sort, although the craving for something to care for is not now so strong under the modified rules which allow the prisoners to mix freely with each other as it was in the old days of silence and solitary con- finement. Prisoners are usually very eager to make friends with the prison cat, and often enough a bitter rivalry for the companionship of pussy exists amongst them. Once, in a women ’3 prison, a cat was the cause of some misunderstanding. An old prisoner, who had been set the task of keeping an unoccupied ward spiel: and span, was annoyed on two or three occasions at finding a tap turned on, with the water splashing all over the slop-stone, just as the daily inspec- tion was about to take place. “I’ll forgive whoever done it! like as not it was to spite me because of Tommy, the cat," the prisoner told an officer, in resigned tones, “but (doub- ling her fists) just let me catch her do- ing it again, andâ€"well, that’s all.” The very next day she caught the cul- prit red-handed. But anger gave way to admiration as the cat turned on the tap, drank his fill, and stalked of! about his business, leaving the water full on. Birds, encouraged by the crumbs and crusts scattered by the prisoners in spite of reprimands. are to be found in large numbers in and around prison ' a â€" â€". _.4IL‘. ‘k- Ahmâ€" -w-Uw 'â€" â€" $5118.23. . Not satisfied with the com- munal flock, however, a prisoner will often tame a bird as a special pet.

' Just how old they are cannot be de- termined exactly. In most cases after the Moundbuilder had gone, acorns and beechnuts fell on the mounds. They took root and from them mighty trees have grown. Foresters can estimate fairly accurately the age of these. but who can say how long after the Mound- builder departed the first seeds dropped on the place?
