Although spring is assuredly

piesent, unsseu one ot thg lanii

auseuCe causes us to niisdouut
tue oiuer signs and wonaer n
tilings nave not somehow supped
a cug somewhere along the line
ot nines procession. Nary a
single long locked individual
wiui the giad light of poesy
shining m ms eyes has so far
come to disturb our prosaic
dreams although the birds arc
here and the grass is turning
green. Not a single ode to van
isning winter, not one sonnet to
biusmng spring with its warmth
and sunsnuie, bubbling water**
and grass and flowers and bud'
ding things, has so far been of
iered us with the usual ‘'might
look this over.'' Not even one
single little verse about the
' windy Kougarnk winter" has
so far come to light to provide
the last undeniable evidence that
"glowing summer beckons near
and far.” And we feel like there
is something missing. Not that
we have an>' hankering for the
spring poet to appear, for life
is hard enough at best, but in his
absence we are not entirely con
vmced that spring is truly here
even though the water is running
and the boats are on the way.
Annually and perennially the
spring poet is indissoluably as
sociated with the coming of that
gladsome period when winter’s
hoary presence is withdrawn
and the cheering warmth of
spring heralds the approach of
summer with its seasons of sow
ing and planting, of reaping and
garnering, of waving fields and
bountiful harvests, of fruitfulness
and plenty. Always, when the
fading mantle of winter is giving
place to the verdant robes of
summer, the spring poet appears.
It matters not the land or clime,
when time has turned his yearly
round and the buds are com
mencing to thrust forth their
leafy heads, comes also him
whose soul has answered to the
call of pristine nature arising
from her winter’s sleep, with
bubbling song or enraptured
verse- It has doubtless been so
since those far off days when
man, newly evolved from the
primordial mud, emerged from
the chill seclusion of his winter
cave to bask in the warmth of
spring and it will probably con
tinue to the end of time. Doubt
less the first editor wrho ever
filled a sanctum was acqatrfted
with the spring poet—and swore
as heartily at his maudlin
fancies as do the modern arbi
ters of things literary.
The spring poet is so old that
he is no longer a joke. Indeed,
lie is now accepted as more or
less of an affliction but one as
impossible of elimination as tin
law of gravity or the weather
and as sure to appear somewhere
when winter's whirl is over as
the budding flower or the mating
birds.
Hence it is that we wonder
what is wrong when not a single
i t appeals Spring is unques
tionably here, though petulant
winter lingers in her lap, but not
a sign have We seen of ode or
epic, quatrain or sonnet. And
after a hard winter, too!
GIRLS WHO DISAPPEAR
FROM HOME.
Gen. Hiram Bingham, former
police commissioner of New
York citly, is quoted as saying
that 50,000 girls disappear an
nually in the United States.
Nothing in his whole departmem
service, Gen. Bingham confesses,
filled him with greater pity than
* 1 following single incident.
"It was dusk in New York.
t'ne hours when the streets are
full of men and girls hurrying
from work. The crowds stream
ed across Union square toward
the subway in a great flood—tin
whole population of an average
country town passing the corn
ers every minute. Suddenly
around the corner whirled a
great express wagon The driver
whistled shrilly and the crowd,
made wary by long experience,
scattered in all directions. Ml
but one girl. A single moment
she hesitated, glanced both
ways, dropped a step and then,
changing her mind, dashed for
ward in an attempt to gain tin
other side.
“The moment's hestitation was
fatal. The frightened horses
rushed on. Ten minutes later
her lifeles body was borne away
in an ambulance of the city
morgue
“There were no marks of
identification on the girl’s per
son. The police were reduced
to the necessity of publishing a
description in the papers, hoping
that relatives would come to
claim the body. And in answer
to that description, which was
made as detailed and accurate as
possible, more than 300 women
within reach of New York papers
confessed that girls whom tin v
loved, corresponding to the de
scription of this girl, had disap
peared. Not one of them was
able to identify her. She was
buried after a time at the citvs’
expense.
“ rhree hundred women re*
turned to pursue their fruitless
search elsewhere What had
become of the 300 girls for whom
they searched?”—Alaska Post
