AMATEUR PHOTOS BY FREME ROHEBOUGH 
ON THE RIVER, LOOKING FROM CAMP COQUINA. 
SIGNS OF SPRING 
E. C. M. RICHARDS. 
When the ice has started melting, Then the old grey bearded woodsman, 
And the snow is almost gone; With his rifle and his traps, 
When the skunks have started mating, And his old, but knowing, mongrel hound, 
And the trout begin to spawn; All cut and scarred from scraps, 
When the geese come honking Northward, Leaves his cosy winter quarters, 
Over valley, hill and fen; Nestled close beneath the hill, 
When the woodchuck leaves his burrow, And starts his muskrat trapping, 
And the chipmunk leaves his den; By the river, brook, and rill.
