DEER AND DOGS FRIENDS.
Instances Where the Animals Have
Played and Run Together Cited
by Californian.

In the town of Oroville. Cal.-now

live, | very recently saw a fawn. still in
its spots, uncOncernedly rambling about
the main street; dogs that were in no
wise accustomed to it went up, smelled
it. as is their canine custom and passed
n. The fawn was perfectly unCon-
cerned, relates a writer in the Hartford
Times.
Two years ago there was another deer,
over half grown, in the same town, which
had as its companion and safeguard a
large Newfoundland. These animals
were often seen playing together and
went downtown together at their own de-
sire. On these trips the Newfoundland
seemed, by instinct, to know that the
deer was at the mercy of other dogs. and
saw to it that no dog moested the deer.
The family owning these two attractive
animals has moved from Oroville, taking
their interesting friends.

The wild cattle in the 'roughs" are the

A SUNSHINE SONG.

There's a sunshine of the heart that is
stronger than the weather,
For 1t keeps the spirit bltthe though the
clouds may gather round;
There's a better feeling round US when We
can all smile together,
And our troubles partly vanish when COM
partnership is found.
There's a sunshine of the heart that invites
neighbours trusting,
He who sings about his work is not plot
ting any crime:
Deeds OF duty are not heavy II ambition be
rot lusting.
Ard the best Of life's in helping and help
Ing all the time.
There's a sunshine Of the heart that will
conquer every sorrow,
To see the silver lining is TO roll away the
dark.
He who makes each day more joyful shall
not have a sad tomorrow,
And there never was morning but some
where sang lark.
Then let this heart Of sunshine rule the
life OF every lover.
And let there be lover in the heart OF
every man.
For happy is the toi.er who no evil can dis
cover.
And gIadness lis in kindness in a wis.
and holy plan.
Let your heart Of sunshine help the poor.
the sick and needy,
Let your daily message with its light and
love be free,
Shout hOsannas to the runners that the
reign OF joy be speedy,
And the gloom OF melancholy forever
cease to be.

THE END of

CLAYTON rose from his desk with a
yawn, indicative OF physical ex-
haustion and mental relaxation. He had
written for three steady hours, without
intermissiOn, save once to hastily sign
for a pressing telegram, and to glance
through it's contents.
There had been a STEADY downpour Of
sleet and rain since early morning and
the streets outside presented forbid
ding aspect; a network Of muddy rivers
and slushy sidewalks. Still, it was with
feeling OF positive delight that Clayton
drew on his macintosh, and slammed
the Office door behind him.
Outside, violent gust OF wind almost
took him off his feet. and hailing pass
ing coupe, he was soon jolting over the
cobblestones to the big, comfortable
house on - avenue, he called his home
He paid his fare without seconds

before the meal was served.
The room was deserted and he tapped
softly on the door that joined it with her
sleeping apartment. There was no re-
spouse; he turned the knob and looked
In. She was not there A feeling of in
tense disappointment swept over him

He walked about the room aimlessly,

time he stood in front of little steel
engraving on the wall, the picture of
a girl and some dogs, gazing at it intent
ly. Then he laughed, rather foolishly,
he thought, and crossed the room TO his
wife's writing table.
There was decidedly unusual litter of
papers over it-just as though she had
been suddenly interrupted and had not
waited or come back to set 1t to rights.
A discarded sheet Of paper, slightly
crumpled, lay on the floor beneath it.
Clayton stopped mechanically and
picked it up. He had no intention what
ever Of prying into his wife's private pa

paper he held in his hand, sent the blood
racing from his cheeks.

The Fatal Finger Imprint.

Gloves will soon become an indis. pensable part of every burglars outfit. The other day Mir. Denman, of the London courts, sentenced a man to twelve months hard labor on the sole evidence of the impressions of the middle finger of his left hand. This method of identifying prisoner, far more certain than photography, was in use, we believe, in China years be. fore its adoption in any European country. and in conjunction with the Bertillion system, has been used in France successfully for decade or so. It is a strange thing that nature should have so provided every man with witness against himself, wit. ness which he cannot be rid of. Dis. guise can alter the face until photo. graph, however careful, is useless for Identification, and even the elaborate deliberate inf1iction of some new mark on the body. But if criminal mutt. late the end of his finger, such mutila. tion alone would suffice to make him suspect. In attempting to avoid its evidence he practically confirms his gullt-London Pail Mall Gaxetta-
