The Ballad Of Hiram Hover.

Where the MossatOckmaguntic,
Pours its waters in the ekuntc,
Met, along the forest-sIde,
Hiram Hover, Huldah Hyde.
She, maiden fair and dapper,
Hea red-hatred, staIwart trapper.
Hunting beaver, mink and skunk,
In the woodlands of Squeedunk.
q Why" he murmured, loath to leave her,
Gather YARDS for chills and fever,

Only waits 10 gather you?"

Leastways, one to please me well

Bought cape against the cold.
Black and thick the furry cape was,
OF a stylish cut the shape was;
And the girls, in all the town,
EnvIed Huldah up and down.
Then. at last. one winter morning,
Hiram came without a warning:
Either" said he, "you are blind,
HulJah, or you've changed your mind.
Ne you snub for trapping varmints,
let you take the skins for garments
Since you wear the skunk and mink,
There's no harm in me, think"
''weu." said she, " we viii not quarrel.
Hiram: l accept the moral.

Gated short distance from the station and a
special messenger carries the mail matter be
