It was qnite a slashing Dory got
recently in the Press. He swore to
attend faithfully to his duties in the
interest of the township. No doubt
some of his constituents want to
hunt deer with dogs and if he wants
to be an honest servant of the peo.
plo he can't stay home and tend his
chickens all the time. The law doe;
not oompel him to watch the deer
and the dogs in his neighborhood,
or to' bolieve nil he sees in the pa
pers, if he can read them, but neith
er is it proper for him to swear pos
itively to a fact when he don't know
it is to be a fact.
That deer law is prohibitive any
way. No dogs, no deer.

WHEN WORDS FAILED,
Side by side in the moon's ple light
Two figures iat in the early night.
One was a man who was half afraid.
The other a timid, shrinking maid.
K friendly cloud came over the sky,
And the man grew bold as it caught
his eye.
He reached an arm and he turned hii
face.
And klesed that maid in the proper
place.
And all was slient except for this:
The lonely echo of that one kiss.
She may have blushed or she may have
not;
She silently sat in that self-same spot.
While the man no syllable spoke aloud.
But waited and wr.tched for another
cloud.
The cloud soon came, and another, too.
And he did what any man would do.
And till that maiden, who scarcely
stirred,
Just sat, and uttered no single word.
Until, as he gave her one on the cheek,
He cried: "Oh, tell me. why don't you
speak?"
And the maiden said, with Impatient
sigh:
"Not now. Let's wait till the clouds
roll by!"
