THE BOY WHO WOULD GO GUN.
MING

John Jones was aged fourteen years.
And he was tall and slim.
He loved his little brother sam,
Likcwis. his brother jim.
He also loved the forest dark,
And when lac got "a chance,
He'd take "a shot gun ON his back.
And forestward- would plance.
His father often wolloped him,
And has mother often said:
Some day voice will say to me;
"'>al Jones, your boy is dead"
Bat all these wallopings and words
Were simply thrown away;
He'd weep sad tears, and then decide
To hunt again seXt day.
one morning when the cold wind blew
And the ky had lost its red,
John Jones he took his gun and lodged
Around the same old shed.
His mother, hanging out the clothes,
His coat-tails saw, and said;
" That boy i gone. and I'm assured
There's something wrong ahead"
The forest reached. John Jones expressed
Himself web pleased at finding
The prints of bears feet in the soil
Where Bruins way was winding.
A grin Of joy-a chuckle deep
As John cfept through the bushes.
And kept the trail DER hill and swamp
Past tnlcket, creek and PUSHES.
All OF "A sudden while he skulked-
He stumbled On big Bruin;
The bear rose up and softly said;
. IT'S Just my time for chewing
There wasn't time for John to urge
His youth or his surprise;
The bear came at him with rush
And nushed his doletul cries.
That afternoon, rs Mrs. Jones,
Was taking in the washing;
And thinking that. when John came home
He'd get Il real old thrashing-
she heard "a step-there stood "A bear,
And. being pressed for tine,
He wiped his mouth and promptly said:
&" Now, listen 10 this rhyme:
=. Your boy l. ticad-IVe brought him home
And, Tor conyenience's sake,
are him up before the start,
My morning meal 10 make
Z" J like him So his tender ways
just seem 90 nit, somehow;
His juicy smile, it does me good,
III stick TO him, vow"

a bear, got his brothers to throw him
up a rope, and slid down; but had no
brothers, and no rope. Ben Brace, when
"treed" by the lion, lassoed his drop
ped musket, and slew the king of beasts
Herewith; but l had no lasso, and
couldn't have used it if l had. Some
body else, blockaded by ''griZzly,"
waited till Bruin fell asleep, and then
slipped away; but my rhinoceros SEEM
ed distressingly wide-awake, and even
if he had dozed, the experiment would
not have commended itself to my fancy.
In short, the most mastery stratagem
could devise was to stay still where l
was, and did so.
The night was the longest ever spent,
and no mistake. Toward morning, Mas
ter Rhino frequently took brief leave
of absence into the bush, as if to tempt
me down; but heard him trampling
in the distance, and wasn't to be caught
Day was just dawning, and l was be-
ginning to wonder how much longer
could stand the thirst that was parch-
ing me up, when suddenly heard a shot
among the bushes, so close that it made
me start. Then the boughs parted, and
l saw Ms jolly face looking up at
me, with grin from ear to ear.
"Fairly freed, Ell, my boy? Well,
I've raised the siege for you, and yon-
der lies the enemy. Your bullets run
down his side, under the skin. without
exploding; so suppose you must have
hit him slantwise. Better luck next
time. Any how, I'm glad TO find you
alive; but l fancy you won't go out
alone again in hurry"
And, to tell the truth, l didn't, for
pretty long while after that day.
Darid Ker, IN So. Nicholas for February.

"CnSs the WOodchuek."

In 1916 the Rev. Samuel Whiting, d.
D., was minister of Lynn, Mass. One
Obadiah Turner kept a journal at that
tlme, IN which occurs the following:
" 1916, June We Sd. Allen Bridges hath
bin chose to wake We sleepers in meet
ing, and being much proud of his place
must have fox tale fixed to We end of
long staff needs wherewith he NAV
brush the faces of them vt will have

sharp thorne wherewith be may prick
such as be most sOunde. On We Taste
Lord his day, as he strutted about We
Westinghouse, he did spy Mr.. Tomlins
sleeping with much comforte, his head
kept steadie by. being in We corner, and
his hand grasping We rail- And soc
spying Allen did 9uicklie thrust his staff
behind Dame Ballond and give him a
grievous prick upon We hand. Where
upon Mr.. Tomlins did spring upp much
above the floor, and with terrible force
strike his hand against We wall. and
also, to We great wonder of all, pro-
phainlie exclaim in loude voice, Cass

seemed, vt woodchuck had seized and

where he was. and We great scandal he
had committed, he seemed much abashed.
but did not speake. And l think he will
not soone againe go to sleepe in meet
ing. Ye women may sometimes sleep
and none know it by reason of their

One.Half to the Informant.

An "Old Doctor" contributes to the
Charlottesville (Va.) Chronicle the fol-
lowing amusing story:
8" In colonial times, when Col. Archi-
bald Cary was magistrate, living at
Williamsburg, a man who was much
disliked by his neighbors on account OF
his vindictiveness and general mean
ness came before the old Colonel and
informed him that his neighbor, John
Brown, had violated the Game law by
killing deer before the LIST of Septem-
Der. Now, although Brown was good,
honest, poor man, much csteemed by his
acguaintanccs, Esquire Cary was bound
TO issue warrant for his arrest, and
when Brown appeared before him he
confessed that he had killed the deer,
knowing at the time that he was violat
ing the law, but that his wife had great
longing for venison, and, knowing that
the deer daily frequented his corn-field.
she gave him no peace. He had begged
her to wait little while, till the Ist of
September, but she vowed she would
not wait. So he killed the deer. The
old magistrate, seeming full of compass
sion, said:
Brown, the law is explicit; you will
have to pay the fine, which is E5.'
"'Lord bless your heart, Col. Cary,
said Brown, 'all have on earth would
not sell for f5.'
"'Well, them said the Justice, turn
ing to the law and reading, without pay
ing strict attention to punctuation or the
exact position of the words, Whoever
shall be guilty of shooting, snaring, trap
ping, or in any way killing deer with
in this, his Maiesty's Colony of Virginia,
at any time between the lst of MAY and
the LIST of September, shall pay fine of
to, and, if he is unable to do this. a pun |
ishment shall be awarded by thirty-nine
lashes on the bare back, well laid on,
one-half to be given to the informant. |
and the other half to the King MIR.
Constable said his Honor, as we are
enJoined to do justice and love mercy.
and where an odd amount which is not
capable of an equal division is to be d.
vided between rich man and a poor
man, l always give the poor man the
larger share; you will, therefore, give the
informant in this case the twenty lashes.
and whenever you catch his Majesty. the
King, in this colony, you will then give
him the nineteen Sothe majesty of law
was maintained, much to the satisfaction
OF all who knew the odious informant.

BESIEGED BY A RHINOCEROS.

Baas, baas! spoor groed one-horn

Such was the, 10 me, rather unintelli-
gible announcement with which my
friend Ms bush-boy came rushing
in lust about sunrise one morning as We
were sitting over our breakfast at the
door of the house-One of those regular
old Dutch-built farmhouses, that one
hardly ever sees nowadays, except in
South Africa. But what he meant by it
was, BOSS, boss, the trail of big rhi-
noceros rascal"
"Where?" cried NJ, jumping up;
for he was !. keen sportsman, and new
er lost an opportunity of ''potting"
something.
"out by Hollow Spring, baas-spoor
