For February, 1916 
FOREST AND STREAM. 
The Forest beckons gently 
With a thousand finger-tips; 
Or, like a girl, inviting 
With sweetly smiling lips. 
The Stream invites the sportsman 
To its bosom, broad and gleaming, 
For fish and ducks and other game, 
Or merely idle dreaming. 
But when it comes to make a choice. 
Between one or the other. 
Blest is the man who gets the chance 
Of taking them together.
