FORDYcE.

Watt Morgan, the twelve year old
sor of Jones Morgan, was seriously
if not fatally hurt by pet deer one
day iast week. Mr. Morgan bought
several deer a few years ago and kept
them in an enclosure on his farm,
where they appeared to be harmless
pets. The boy was passing through
the inclosure when the buck attack
ed him and tore nearly all the clothing
from his body. 1t is said that there
was not spot as large as mans
band from the boys arms down to his
feet that had not been bruised or cut.
Fifteen gashes were SO long and deep
tat the doctor had to sew them up.
One report says that one prong OF
the deer, horn entered the boys stom-
ach another says part of his intes
tines were torn out. When last heard
from the boys recovery was doubtful.
When MIR. Morgan returned home and
found his boy so badly mangied he
shot the deer.

are differences OF opinion as to what constitutes

the paint applied TO 1t, and carpenters have
complained in instances of the difficulty which
they experienced in working it with tools. Even

gratifying evidence that the war between the

of history You say: Lee levied war against the
United States and gave aid and comfort to its
enemies; and then you to compare the
treason of WASHINGTON with the assumed
son of Lee. Here. 1t me- are two errors
The first is that Lee levied against the

treason could be committed were the States of

MONEY FOR COLLEGE CANES.

Bishop Burgess, of Brooklyn, has suggested
that II money matters We're removed from col
lege sports and games. If there were no gate re-
ceipts and selling of tickets and the taking of
large sums from the general public the spirit
and atmosphere and sentiment Of these CON
tests would be higher and better. His plan
wonld be that in these competitions one home
of light and learning should invite the repre-
sentatves of another institution Of the kind TO
become it's guests and that there should be no
excited hosts of outsiders paying excessive
prices for boxes and seats in grandstandS and
making prOmisCu0uS, boStcrouS and turbulent

It can hardly be expected that the colleges
will revolutioniZe their whole systems in sports
