Only a few years ago the fir tree was looked upon as rather nuisance in this state, because it grew as rank as burdock, crowding out better growths, and it was of no earthly use, save as it might be con- sidered an ornament to the landscape. Now the fir, no. longer despised, is a source of considerable income to hun- dreds of Maine’s rural people, and to transportation companies as well. st year fully 1,500,000 were sold.

THE ROUND TABLE. DE WET. strong, Like the thunder of hoofs as they roll along; Let the music ride with a swinging stride, Like the gallop of steeds, in their strength and pride, When they reach at their bridles, and foam and fret, For | sing of a rider, De Wet. Through the black, still night comes a stamp and a beat, And the bark is a-clatter with horses’ feet, With the rattle of arms as they wheel and pass, And the dull, deep thunder across the grass. Who rides by night when the moonis Bet? And the night owl answers, “DeWet, DeWet.” His home is the free veldt’s open face; His roof is the azure of endless space; He sleeps where he loosens his saddle girth; And his only bed is the good red earth. Such a leader of men we ne'er have met; And he fights for freedom, DeWet,— DeWet. Full many a time we have held him fast, And have vainly boasted him caught at last; We have ringed him round with a ridge efisteel. And have dreamed he was lying be- neath our heel; But the lion was up and had torn his het, And was out in the open, DeWet—De- Wet. He strikes us here, with his troop to- day And tomorrow a hundred miles away. He sweeps, a walf, o'er the!open veldt; And he carried death in his cartuidge belt, . He has aworn an oath he will pay the _ debt, And in death he will keep it, DeWet, DeWet. ‘ His name is a word we have learned to fenr, When the clouds are thick, and the night is drear, When the rain beats hard on the sod- den sward, And the wild beasts couch and the wind'’s abroad; When the starless sky is as black as jet, Then he rides on his errand, DeWet, DeWet. Tn the dead of the night, when the camp 'aasleep, Though the sentinels guard and the rocks-are steep, ’ There's a shot in the dark—there’s a -_ sudderr-ery;—— ee And the men rush out from their tents to die, Who strikes by night, when the moon is set? And the dead makes answer, “DeWet DeWet.” —From the Chicago Post, with the compliments of the author, Bertrand Shadwell.
