In Mcmoriam.
In sad but loving remembrance of
our dearly beloved son, Alvin Maurer,
who died Aug. 31, 11X12.
Oue year has passed, and how we miss
him;
Friends may think, the wound is
heal 2d;
But they little know the sorrow;
i That lies withiu our hearts conceal
ed. That blow was hard, the loss severe;
To part with one we loved so dear;
The uight was bitter, we'll not com
plain; But ho,H In Heaven to meet again.
A precious oue from us has gone;
'A voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant in our hearts.
Which never can be rilled.
We miss thy gentle kindness here,
In our silent home;
And iu this grief we feel for thee,
We are not alone.
Thy parents and sisters mourn for,
Thee dear one with a grief untold.
Thou were a kind and loving son,
In the days of old for in our hearts,
Thou were entwined with a lore- moat
dear.
Just one year ago to-day, our dear son.
Passed away through death he entered
into,
Sweet rest to abide forever with the
blest.

moo Deer to be Liberated.
A thousand deer are to be liberated
in a few days by C. C. Worthon, the
New York millionaire, who owns
BuckwHHl Park, opposite Shawnee,
Monroe county. The animals multi
plied so rapidly that they will starvi
unless given their liberty. There are
now over 2000 deer in the Park, and
they have cleaned up nearly all the
food to be had. Farmers residing near
the Park do not favor the liberation,
feariug the deer will do damage to their
property. Eleven years ago niueteen
deer were placed in the Park, which
covers thousauds of acres. One hun
dred have been killd by hunting par
ties.

A western editor writes at follows:
The editor sat in his chair, lighting hia
pipe on his auburn hair A halo shone
over his face so fare, but his knees were
out and his feet were bare. And he sang
a .song both sad aud sweet, while the
Mies died nd around his feet, for he had
no grub in the shop to eat. and the
ground w covered with sleet. Now
what In the world was the cuss to do?
He hail eaten the paste and swallowed
the glue; he hadn't a drink and he
hadn't achew, and while he stared
his whiskers grew aud the baud play
