A Duck Hunters Adventure.

Martin Boland. of North Lyme, had
an exciting experience while duck shoot.
ing Monday, and thanks his lucky stars
every morning for the fact that he is
still in the land of the living. He had
been about the mouth of Lords cove
nearly all the day and had met with fair
success, and had loaded his decoys into
his small duck boat, intending to start
home. Just then he heard the loud
''honk" of wild geese, and a moment
later saw flock of some twenty of these
waterfowl settle in the river about half
way from shore to shore. -
He resolved to have one of these geese
on his string, and attempted to scull
near enough to get a shot. He kept his
eyes on the birds, and consequently did
not see huge cake of ice that was bear
ing down upon his craft. He realized it,
though, when a mass ground up against
the boat, overturning it and throwing
him into the chilly water. His gun, a
Colts breechloader, fell from his hand
and went to the bottom of the river, and
is likely to remain there. Boland had q
hard fight, and when, after desperate
effort he succeeded in pulling himself
upon the ice. he fell exhausted.
His danger was not past by any means,
as he had no meals of gaining the shore,
and it was with heart full of anxiety
that he saw the distance between his
ice raft and shore rapidly diminish, I'M
til seized by an eddy it whirled into the
shoal water and he was safe Hartford

A Tale OF Summer Days.

A tale of roses and roguery is waited
from the last midsummer days. It was
at a seaside resort, and q young man, a
yeritable Prince Charming, before whom
all women go down and who cannot
helm "practicingS when he is near a
nretty girl, was at his usual occupation
devoted TO several of them at once.
he counted, in fact, this time four vic
tins to his attractions. As two, how
ever, were at the hotel on the beach and
the other pair in separate cottages in
different directions, he had managed to
make all happy without any clashing.
Just before the season closed, however,
the fair cottagers went with their par
ents to pass few days at the hotel en-
route to their city homes. Four sweet
hearts under one roof were too much for
even this clever campaigner. He con-
cluded that the situation was too COM
plicated for him, and prompt departure
was arranged for. The evening he left
he managed to see each girl separately
and to murmur in her ear tender tale
of love- He would take no decided an
swer then, but if his affection was re-
turned he begged her to wear at break
last the next morning red rose which
he gently pressed upon her. The last in
terview took place about II p. m, and
the midnight train bore the young scamp
to New York.
At the first meal on the following day
four young women appeared in the din
ing room with red roses thrust in their
belts. The gay cavalier not presenting
himself the girls after time began to
compare notes, and all that worries those
deceived damsels is to know whether
their joint lover had any means to dis
cover how many Of his roses were worn
at the breakfast table.-Her Point of
View in New York Times.

SINCE WE MUST DIE.

Though we must die, would not die
When fields are brown and bleak,
When wild geese stream across the sky
And the cart lodge timbers creak,
For it would be so lone and drear
To sleep beneath the snow,
When children carol Christmas cheer,
And Christmas rafters glow.
Nor would die though we must die
When weanlings blindly bleat,
When cuckoo laughs and lovers sigh,
And oh, to live is sweet
When cowslips come again, and spring
Is winsome with their breath.
And hfe's in love with everything
With everything but death.
Let me not die, though we must die
When bowls are brimmed with cream,
When mich cows in the meadows lie,
Or wade amid the stream;
When dewy dimpled roses smile
To see the face of June,
And lad aud lass meet at the stile,
Or roam beneath the moon.
Since we must die, then let me die
When flows the harvest ale,
When the reaper lays the sickle by,
And taketh down the fail;
When all VIC priced and all we planned
Is ripe and stored at last,
And autumn looks across the land.
And ponders on the past,
Then let me die

Just decided a lawsuit begun twenty

of course. They were the combined
soliloques of Clymer the lover and
Clymer the clerk. The man who sup
piled the office with legal blanks
stood aghast at this time at the num-
Der consumed in what was technically
known as Cupid's department.
They seemed 30 remarkably In ex-
cess Of the number Of applications re-
corded that the clerk might, with some
show of Justice, have been accused OF
throwing them into the waste basket.
And it is true that they did go there,
but not until q deal Of labor had been
expended upon them, not until the
blank spaces revealed the fact that
Clymer Ames, who lived in certain
city, township, county and State. and
who was of such and such an age, and
without legal hindrance or ineum-
brance of a marital sort, received here
with permission from the clerk to
marry Miss Lydia Eastwater, whose
qualifications were then set down.
One day stranger entered the
office-a fine rellow, with an elision Of

"Name," said the clerk, trying to be
perfunctory, but actually throbbing
with sympathy with this happy young
animal.
"Alfred Sydney johnson Clayton.
"Name of lady?"
Lydia Ernestine Eastwater."
The clerk went on filling out the
blank, and did not move muscle.
The lover-but there was no lover ex-
cept the young man who went out
swinging his shoulders as he went.
And so the pace of Cupid's servitor
became, as was mentioned at first,
like a batch of bread made from stale
yeast. And though he works for love
he and his clerk do not speak when
they meet, and the capricious boy has
even been seen to fold his wings closer
