SOHOOL, IDE4L LOCATION’. K GEO. J. BURNETT, Pres. J. HENRY BURNETT, Mgr BEAUTIFUL SPRING. Spring comes to wake the earth from winter sadness, To quicken, too, our memory of one Whose spirit of electric life and glad ness Shone on us with an influence like the sun. s We can not know, our souls thrill with emotion And yearnings high, yet lie we on Time’s shore Shut in this mortal shell, while the great ocean Os mystery pulses round us ever more. Resurrection, the spirit is immortal; It echoes like sweet music through our days; It beckons to us from some mystic portal '.through which stream on us broader, purer ways. Votive to spring—the thought of spring comes o’er us Sweet as a breath of perfume mixed with song; Blown from some tropic island where a chorus Os song and springtime breathes the whole year long. MARY E. BRYAN. THE RAG-TIME OYSTER GANG. “Oysters—crabs— The rag-time oyster man!” The words of that little rag-time jingle kept running through my thoughts, as I made my way along the avenue to the long plank wharf that led out to a three-room “shanty” occupied by the “Old Captain” and his family, about one hundred feet from shore. The oyster shop was further out. A lovely little sloop was an chored close in, and a pig pen occu pied by three fat grunting pigs orna mented the “half way”—“just where tne water kissed the sand,” and a pump was driven on the “lee side” of the pig pen. The town authorities, urged thereto by several ladies who had to wait at that corner for cars, tried to get the obnoxious pig pen re moved, but all the “law” they could bring into use failed to “budge” that vile-smelling ornament —the pig pen remained. Passing these beautiful specimens of the Berkshire breed I went on to the house, and knocked; several children, so yellow from sun and salt wind as to appear like In dians or Philippines, sat staring at me, with open mouths, and stringy hair, and grimy fingers "clutching still more grimy candy. A woman, tall, gaunt, stringy-haired, wind tanned and shabby, came out. I asked if I could get some oysters, she “guessed so,” she’d “triter open sum.” I fol lowed her out to the shop, and watch ed her pick up tne long, awkward oyster tongs and “tong up the “ais ters,” as she expressed it. I sat in the sun drinking in the picture about me as I looked out over the boundless blue. White sailboats skimmed the water gracefully on all sides, a row boat filled with bare-legged children drifted slowly in to shore, at the red roofed bath-house near by boys and girls in crimson bathing suits looked like bright plumaged birds as they dived and floated and swam, and The Golden Age for March 25, 1909. played in the soft, calm, blue water. The smoke from a tug carrying out a vessel from the harbor rose slowly and gracefully and blurred the many spars of the vessels going out to sea. Large vessels lay at anchor in the har bor, a dredge boat “chugged, chugged” away at ihe sand, and a car flashed out over the long, wide pier where many gaily dressed people passed back and forth, on pleasure and busi ness bent to the big red pavilion at the end of the pier, and the many offices snuggled along its course. Large cranes and derricks, managed by brawny stevedores, loaded lumber from the long cars to the capacious holds of the many lumber vessels. What a busy, beautiful, inspiring scene! I thought, and was lost in contemplation of its beauty, when a “splash” brought me back to the dirty oyster wharf, and caused me to real ize that a very grimy baby had fallen overboard. I sprang up to assist in its rescue, but the mother paid no atten tion and went stolidly on opening oysters. I exclaimed, “Your baby has fallen in tne water,” and ran to the edge. Without stopping work or looking up she said, “Couldn’ drown one o’ them young uns,” and I believed her wnen I watched the little chap find his way up and out —wet as could be, yet toddling out to the sand and falling down, still holding fast with one grimy fist to that grimy candy. Then I turned to watch the woman open the oysters. She had a long, curved knife, not clean, by any means, and ever and anon as a wisp of stringy hair blew too near her eyes, she’d use the knife to push it back behind her ears; and now and then she’d lean partly away from the oys ters and expectorate largely of to bacco juice on the weather-beaten planks of the wharf, I mentally regise tered a vow to eat none of those oys ters. She bad about completed open ing those she had “tonged up” when another grimy youngster toddled up and reached into the bucket, saying, “Me wants er aister, ma” —the hand closing over several and going sud denly to the grimy mouth as the mother made a lurch for him and knocked him off into the water, ex claiming, “Yere let dem aisters er lone, young un.” She opened two more, put the top on the bucket, and handed it to me with the curt re mark, “Here dem, ready, fifty cent.” I paid her and had turned by face shoreward when I saw the “Old Cap tain” coming in with a boatload of ush, mullet and croakers, and a few mud cat. He got out and waded in, pulling the boat and calling out, “Hist de flag so dey come buy feesh.” His beard and hair were like snow, his face tanned and grimy as the others, pants rolled up, feet bare, his shirt open at the neck, and sleeves rolled up, as perfect a picture of neglected humanity as one could well imagine. I left the mother and Dicky putting up a flag to wave down the breezes and let the people along the avenue know there was “feesh to sell.” TESSA W. RODDEY.
