Dedicated to Mary Madeline MiCawley Slowly, calmly sailing along Beneath the full moon's light, The Rondolier sings his sweet song In the stillness of the night. It is a love song and his voice Betrays his feelings deep. Rich but tretrnlons he sings: "My heart Is yours to keep." The cadence dies, he steps awhile And rests upon his oar. He's dreaming of the dark eyed maid Then renews his song once more Under the bridge the echo sends The words back, "Yours to keep."' In a vision dim he sees Marie By angels guarded la ber sleep. The moon behind the clond is bid The southern zephyrs blow, . The gondolier now plies his oars Through the waters as they flow. He is homeward bound, and aa hfc glides Along, he gains the steep And with buoyant step he whistles low "My heart Is yours to keep." Cecilia A. Cullen.

He got his gun and shot one cf the dogs bnt the other escaped. The deer was so tired out that he caught and now has It and will keep it until it is able to care for itself. The dcg9 had bitten tbe deer in several places and if they had not been Intercepted would have soon killed the deer. There have been three deer killed there durfrig the past winter by dogs to the writ er's knowledge. He says the law allows a hunter to kill but one deer with horns, but the ENGLISH METHODS OF PREPARING EGGS.

It is the opinion of Mr. Rake the dogs have killed more deer dar ing the winter than hooters did in the open season in November.
