It's Saturday night. and the shadows
Are cut on the top of the snow:
The leaves that fell in the autumn
Are sleeping down below
It's Saturday night. and we're hungry
ana down on the farm we know
The pullets and roosters are sleeping.
Are perching high In row.
The mountains are white and icy,
The paths in the rocks are rough,
But the winter hunger is on us
And it's tough, oh, it's tough,
A look from the mouth of the CAVERN
whin Of the winds enough
A trot down the face Of the mountain,
An round by the foot of the bluff
Across the snow in the cornfield
All frozen in hubby rows.
Right here We were lying last summer
To worry the thieving crows.
A look at the barn from dhe orchard.
The dog. Do You spose he knows?-
He's lying asleep in the kitchen
A-toasting his lazy toes.
A roll in the snow to cover
The redness of our backs;
TomorroW the guns will follow
The robber foxes tracks.
But what care we for the hunters
If the pang of hunger slacks--
We're skirting the wall of the cowherd
And under the clover stacks.
Quick. A leap in the darkness
And ou through the open pane.
And of with the speed of the arrov-
Each muscle at a strain.
A pulet flung over the shoulder
Poor thing, she's out Of pain
A cry, and Il shot that echoes
Where silence long has lain.
Up the side of the mountain
And by the blum again.
There are anxious hearts a-lsten
At the mouth of the little den.
Say, are you sure she's puliet?
l hope tbs not a hen!
No? A joke on the hunters
If she had happen'd to've been.
'Tis Saturday night, and the bushes
Are stiff in the heavy snow:
The leaves that fell in the autumn
Are far and far below.
'Tis Saturday night. and the hunger
OF winter is on us, you know.
We live by the chase and the hunting,
For the Master has made us so.

The starting Of three Colby stu

at least an unusual way of making

not have been at all surprising to the
college boys of an earlier generation.

Of private and public cOnveyances to

The Maine Central deserves n good
deal of credit for the manner in which
it has met the conditions resulting
from the disastrous freshet of n week
ago. The damage was enormous, par
ticularly to that part of the main line
between Augusta and Pittsfield, and
cannot be appreciated by those who
have not been along the line and seen
the havoc wrought and the efforts
made to repair it. With characteristic
energy the company put forth every
effort, getting crews of men and ma
terials to the spots with great prompt
ress and sparing no labor or expense
that would make the resumption of
traffic possible at the earliest possible
moment To those who have seen the
extent of the damage it has been re-
markaDle that such extensive and thor
ough repairs have been made in Il
week. The loss by the damage itself
ard by the stoppage Of business has
been enormous.
