LOST IN THE HILLS.

BY DIR. E. F. ELDRIDGE.
Lost amid the wilds of nature.
Quite forgetting all his cares.
While he hobnobs with the lions
And plays hockey with the bears.
Boiling "siukers" like a cowboy
Long before the sun is mp.
slipping coffee with relish
From his battered old tin cup.
Not shadow clouds his yisage
When the scrub oak tears his
shus.
He is always at the roundup
When the smoking out begins,
Doesn't wait to have them hobblcd
But just takes them on the wing.
Seems TO love TO hear the music
OF his rifles deadly ring.
Loves TO listen to- the bayiug
OF the hounds among the hills.
Hewheu TO the songs OF welcome.
From the bouEhs and laughing riIIs
Live a life SO close TO Nature
That he feels her magic thrill.

And removing every ILL.,
Peace TO Teddy" and his comrades
May he find sweet rest indeed.
As beside the flaming pinou
He enjoys "a fragrant weed.

Thus avoiding race suicide,
That OUR TEDDY" long may track
them
Der our rugged mountain side.
