So shall you remember me, Now that day is over, Fairly, by your courtesy, As thy fondest chewer. Since I turned and said good-bye When you tasted newest, Since we parted, you and I, When my love was truest, Love can never turn to doubt And, from doubts to scorning- I but chewed your sweetness out Twixt a night and morning. 7 So shall you remember me, Eager in pursuing, Faithful as one ought to be, When the gum is chewing. Other chewers sit in glee When thy day is over. Not so shall you remember me, Me, thy ardent chewer. A INTERVIEWS WITH UNCELEBRATED PEOPLE. Rev.

I have never so far allowed myself to talk without permission in.the class room or any other place. A person's bringing-up is judged by the attention heogives to others when they are talking.

I know.that I will be up- held in this statement by the reputation I have at present.
