Let each one obey what is deepest,

word the revelation, the Adesh of God.
He that allows the consideration Of
carnal comfort. even of carnal necessi-
ty, to stand in the way runs the risk Of
losing the highest self in him. The
struggle for existence in a truly spirit
ual man points to absolute fidelity To
the ideal. while hunger and fatigue
stare him in the face, The whole ques-

ment Of what be holds as his highest

Lived on Deer Isle Poultry Until Fate
Overlook Him.
Early in the winter, there appeared on
Lit t Deer Ie.e. a fox Wit collar about
its meek. Since the spring mouths came,
the ne gtrnoriug nen coops have had very
frequent calls from Mr.. Reynsrd. which
have told Oh the number OF hens shame

Some OF the good people thought it
must he pet, and that it would be too
bad to Kill it; others, who had had his
respects shown to them, thought 1t we'll
to end his career, and thereby save their
chickens aud lots of watching. Every
body agreed hat he WAS getting fat, as he
was living on chickens OF the best
not thing but fat fowl suited him.
Things became desperate, Reynard be-
came so familiar he would enter the hen
coops at MONDAY and take his pick.
Reynard had visited the premises of
Z. Billings in his rounds, but had failed
in capturing any OF his fowls. Mr.. Bill
lings had seen him several times at early
morning playing, SO to speak, around the
hen yard while the hens cack led to his
pranks, but had never had the chance to
shoot the intruder until one fateful
morning just as the stars were shutting
their eyes, Reynard strolled over the
Picked hills on his way to the coop that
was to h ford him a breakfast Just as he
had jumped the wall and was about to
enter the yard charge OF buckshot met
him and he died. The color OF the fox
W-s cross-gray; ears very long and
black legs black; tail gray; belly almost
all mite. 1t Was male, and judging by
the collar, at one time he must have been
pet The collar made OF leather,
perhaps a piece OF harness, and was fas-
tened together with common white

BROOKLYN, Brooksvile and on Deer Isle.
