Everything was arranged with the utmost neatness and order, notwith. standing that only masculine hands and taste had been called into requistion. It was al- together too pleasant place to leave, and one could feel the fascination of tenting, and of the free, unconventional way of living Leaving Camp Lookout, we'll named because of its lovely view of the lake, it's green shores sloping meadows, and
 '"The far off town,
 White from it's hillslope looking down." we slowly rounded the lake and stopped where white banner floating in the breeze bore in scarlet letters "Wanposet." Here is little cottage, tent of wood, where MT Coe of New Haven comes every year with his family to spend the summer months. We spent few minutes there, enjoying the beau ty of the ferny woods and sparkling lake Our charming young hostess told us that their camps name is that of an Indian chief who planted his wigwam here, according te colonial history. in the old days, and was 6 famous warrior of great prowess.
 Ip canoe brought from the shores of Mt Desert to Bantam, we shot swiftly over the water to the pier of the Island House. We saw the clustered tents of the Chinese, thirty of whom are here, and of many other camps, for there are dozen scattered about the lake shore, and it was with reluctance that we lett the white tents behind us, for there is a charm in this life that belongs to no oth- CT, born of the unwonted freedom, of the utter change of ways of living, of the long, dreary days, and beautiful star-lt nights, which they only can understand who have experienced the delights of Camping out"

Some one is always sure to get a shot. but they do not always kill I have known them to get three in one days hunt They always fire hunt at night, as the Adirondack sometimes shoot colts and sheep, instead of deer, and not long since heard of man that killed two other men, for deer. He was hunt ing, and the men were camped in the woods. They either did not know what the light was. or thought the hunter saw them, and dld not speak. and the man shot and killed them both. The thought of having killed two men made him insane, and he is now in the asylum ct Austin. H. CIV.

No good Preaching,

No man can do good job of work, preach good sermon, try law suit we'll, doctor a patient, or write good article when he feels miserable and dull, with sluggish brain and unsteady nerves, and none should make the attempt in such condition when it can be so easily and cheaply removed by little Hop Bitters.

To-day when Henry Cutters name was

himself as best he could, he leaned over the

Cutter looked his appeal more foreibly

evidently well up in little matters of that
kind, discharged him from custody with n
reprimand, and headed the old legal ship in
another direction. AS Cutter stepped over

"Oh, he's so utterly utter,
