The moose may be tho largest member
OF the deer family, but our elk is certainly
the handsomest, and it also stands next to
the 'irst in size. Take an S-year-old male
elk IN November, when bis sides and quar-

oyorcoat, his nostrils distended, his eyes
flashing, neck swelled with vigor and his
fine, new antlcrs fairly spelling for fig 1t

chen that he goes about with chip on his
shoulder, feeling not only willing but
eager to whip all creation. He is then at

Is the finest deer that ever stepped-and

The BanderjacRet has crossed the sea
In boat Of navy blue;
BE has left his head with bumblcbce
and his tail with kangaroo.
But whether they Il treat them as they should
Not a jipperty iiff he cares,
For he knows the Woifinger from the wood
Will sell him brace OF bears.
The WofHnger's nose is icy cold,
But his tongue is a tongue of flame,
And that IS the reason, 50 folks are told,
That his uncle's horse goes lame.
But, harkl he carols glad refrain,
Which rings DER the pine trees top:
''Oh, the Banderiaeiet has crossed the main,
And he may have come to stopl''
The Banderjackot has placed his feet
On a pillow of cider down,
And the WOfiDger's roasting a Joint of meat
By the light of his velvet gown.
They have shaken hands with shooting star
That controls "a wild beast show,
But why they do it and what they are
There's nobody seems to know!

the table i'll her parlor, aud there it has

gan to breathe Dr. Varney sent for
Drs. Inlay and Moriarta TO aid him, and
on their arrival made Il full examina-

to be dislocated at the second cervical

latlon the column was replaced and
bandaged without INJURY to the spinal
cord, and AR. Fox at once rcgained the
power of speech and full respiration.
