Doorstep." 3pp., 8V0. $17.50

*Complete transcript of his pretty poem, “The

Doorstep." Twelve stanzas of four lines each.

”fin; l)()0l(.\"l‘lil’.
The conference—meeting through at last,
\\"e l)o_\',< around the vesti‘y waited
To 300 the girls come trippingY past,
Like snow-birds willing to be mated.

Not braver he that leaps the wall,
lly level musketdlashes litten,

Than 1, who stepped before them all
“"110 longed to see me get the mitten.

But no, she blushed and took my arm!
\\"e let the old folks have the highway,
And started toward the Maple Farm
Along a kind of lovers‘ by—way.”
Etc, etc.
