THE GREAT OPEN SPACES.
I've roamed on the steppes and the pampas, I've lived in the jungle and wood; Neath the Matterhorn's crest I have taken my rest; On the trackless Sahara I've stood. I've heen in all climes and all places, And most to the memory are dear; But the place loathed by me is the space with the sign That registers: "No Parking Here." To the sun-smitten isles I'm no stranger; In the north where the wind's like a knife, I've laughed at its roar on the Labrador shore, \nd thought this a wonderful life. Bu T . I'rn back in the regions of com- " fort, \nd the knowledge elicits a tear; Though I'm glad not to roam, it's most sad to come home To a sp ot that savs: Parking Here." —"London Opinion."
