THE POET'S SONG.

I gather flowers on moss-paved woodland ways

I roam with poets dead in tranced amaze;

Soon must my wild-wood sheaf be cast away,

But in my heart the poet's song shall stay.

CHARLES KEELER,
in A Season's Sowing.

FEBRUARY 20.

Morning of fleet-arrive was splandid. By early hour of day all S.F. persons has clustered therselves on tip of hills and suppression of excitement was enjoyed. Considerable watching occurred. Barking of dogs was strangled by collars, infant babies which desired to weep was spanked for prevention of. Silences. Depressed banners was held in American hands to get ready wave it.
