A Song OF summer.

Out In the open country fields,
with the green grass blowing meryily,
Tho daisies nod, and the dewdrops shine
And the sunbeams dance right cheerily.
a assie and laddie come tripping along,
Like the fair day smiling brightly;
They pluck the flowers and they hum sonr
AS they shake Oh tho dewdrops lightly.
The song tells how neither you nor
Nor any one else they know
flas drunk the full cup OF the 10y Of tho fields
Where tho daisies and buttercups grow.
You may rise when the flowers open their eyes,
You may hathe your feet In the dew.
You may live As the children Of nature live
The whole long summer through.
Hut there'll still be a secret OF NATURES own
Beyond your human ken;
IL Is known to the fairies who dwell In the grass
hut Is hid from the sous OF men.
Yet whenever together lad and lass
Trip hand andshand through the lolds,
They fancy they drink with tho elnn race
All the sweetest that nature yields.
Out 10 the full. nee light Of the sun.
Where the green grass bloweth nerrily,
The lass and the lad 90 dancing by,
Singing their songs right cheerily.

Lord RusscII.s DiIemmn,

Once, when he first came to Lon.
don and was laying the foundation OF
his great career, says London letter
the future Lord Chief Justice Russell
went to the pit of theater. The piece
was popular, the pit was crowded and
the young advocate had only standing
room. All of sudden a man at his
side cried out that his watch was
stolen. Mr., Russell and two other
uien were hemmed In.
1T is one Of you three" cried the
man minus the watch.
well, we had better go out and be
searched" said Mr.. Russell, with the
alertness of mind that did not fail him
at trying moment amid an excited
crowd. A detective was at hand, and
the suggestion was accepted. AS Mr..
Russell walked out the idea flashed
through his mind that If the man be-
hind him had the stolen property he
would probably try to secrete it In the
pocket of his front rank man. Quick
as thought he drew his coattails about
him --only to feel, to his horror, some
thing large and smooth and round al
ready in his pocket.
While he was still wondering what
this might mean for him, the detective
energetically seized the hindmost man
exclaiming: "What, you rascal! At 1t
again" To Mr.. Russell and the other
man he apologized and babe them go
free.
But Mr.. Russell, before he had taken
many steps, reflected that he could not
keep the watch. He went back to the
box Office and explained. with cour-
age on which he afterward said he
rarely experienced greater demands.
that though he did not take the watch
he had it. So saying, he put his hand
into his pocket and pulled out--a for.

Hunting nabosn. In South Africa.

Hunting BabovnB In South Africa.
The balloons which frequent this
rocky country are so destructive to the
stock farms that organized raids have
to be made upon them. it is useless
trying to get shot at the baboon dur
ing the day; he is willy creature and
knows the deadly effects of a rifle Just
as well as the hunter.
Early in the morning the party leave
the farm and quietly surround the
kranz, or rock, where the unsuspecting
baboons are sleeping. At the first
break Of dawn the head baboon is on
the move, TO see that everything Is
right. He no sooner makes an appear
ance than he is greeted with shower
of lead. In an instant the whole troop
Is In an uproar. They rush hither and
thither. bowling with rage and pain,
looking for place Of escape. But few
OF them succeed. Directly the hunters
have retired the blacks, who have
been following up the party, make a
rush for the tails of the baboons.
Sometimes they are in so great hurry
to secure these that they fail to oh
serve that the babSon is not dead and
an ugly bite or tear is the result. The
tails are taken to the magistrates Of
flee, where n reward OF 2s. Cd. each Is
paid for them by goverpment.--I.ondon

Burns and Tam Samson.

Tam Samson was a gray haired vet
eran sportsman, who on one occasion,
when out moorfowl shooting and feel
Ing the weight OF years begin to press
upon him, expressed the belief that the
expedition was to be his last and de-
sired, In somewhat tragic style, that
he might die and be buried in the
moors.
Burns, hearing of this, Immediately
composed his famous elegy, in which
he related at length the exploits and
skill OF his hero, ending each verse
with the plaintive line, Tam Samson's
dead"
Some one having told Samson that
Burns had written a poem--"a gey
queer ane"-about him, he sent for the
poet and in something like wrath asked
him to read what he had written. On
hearing the recital of his exploits he
smiled grimly and seemed by no means
displeased. But" he exclaimed, I'm
mo- dead yet Robin. Wherefore should
We say that I'm deadT Burns retired
for few minutes; then he returned
and recited to Tam the following verse,
which he had composed in the inter-
val:
PER CONTRA
Go, Fame, an eanter like flly
Through a the streets an neuks OF Killie;
Tell ev'ry social, honest billie
To cease his grievin,
For yet, unskaith'd by Deaths gleg guile,

Samson laughed gleefully and ex-
claimed, That's no. bad, Robin; thatll
do and the poet was received once
more into his good graccs.-Chambers
