Yes, little Davis is gone,

He is only gone before,
And bids you follow on

So peacefully calm and still.
His body is resting in the tomb
But his spirit has gone above
To live with blessed Jesus,
Where all is Joy and love.
And little Noryil with the Saviour,
He will keen him from all harm;
In Heaven youwill meet your little ones
And clasp them in your arms.
So let our sorrows cease to dow
For those who have gone before
But try to meet them up above

to her feelings. The cook heard
her and came in and gazed down
upon her and exclaimed
"Well, if Ihad a husband who'd
give me a blast before leaving
the house Id have a divorce in
six weeks Why don't you get
up and assert your rights and

"Mr. Bow-wow-wose is the

I've heard him take on and scold

throw towels around because one
of his suspenders busted on HIM,

and knocked a heel off his shoe.

any farther. She just continued

quarter in cash.
At noon, when Mrs. Bowser
came up to lunch, the fit" was
still on. He actually kicked up
his heels and acted giddy as he
entered the hall. Mrs. Bowser
met him with a sweet smile,
though having an eye open for
squalls. and he put his arm
around her and tried to waltz.
During lunch he got off half a
dozen good jokes, praised the
eatables and the way the table
was spread, and capped the eli.
max by saying
81 have tickets for the theatre
tonight, and you be all ready,
and we'll have a gay old time.
What is it, sis ?"
Ii was that same fiib again, and
the recording angel passed it by
as before and never heaved a
sigh. Mr.. Bowser was good at
supper time. His streak last,
ed all the evening. He never
made a kick at the theater nor
about having his feet walked on
in the crowded car. He smiled
all the way home and laughed
after he got there, and Mrs.
Bowser went to bed utterly con-
science stricken to think that
she had held Mr.. Bowser up to
the public for three long years
in a falseli light. Even his shores
had beautiful cadence as they
floated out over the foot board
and knocked the splinters off the
darkness. She was dreaming of
pansies. lilies, angles and all
that when sleep overlook her.

Lion Hunting IL the Most Economic

Surgeon Mackay, IN English sports

the African lion. African big game has
for many years had Il peculiar attrac.
ton for adventurous spOrtsmen. Its
pursuit was long an undertaking OF
serious magnitude, and shared with
Polar exploration the foremost place
IN the line OF gratuitOus adventure.
How far its general conditions have
changed of recent years Is illustrated
by an English newspaper.
This noble British sportsman points
out 10 his cOuntrymen that 1t costs less
