BIRDS OF THE OCEAN.

Sometimes when one is watching a flock
of terms that are fishing off the beach, a
larger bird appears. dark. long-wingcd
and almost hawk-lkc in aspect, and pur-
sues swiftly some tern that has just
made a successful plunge, says Ralph
Hoffman, in the Boston Transcript. The
tern is off at once but the larger bird
sticks closely to him, and to and fro
doubling and turning. the two BIRDS hurry
in and out over the water, the larger bird

do YOU feel that that woman should

that you consider it your duty to see that

II made my position very clear toward
Mary Rogers in my first reprieve. I said
then, as l say now. that my first duty
to the State of Vermont is to enforce the
law. What's a governor for if he doesn't
enforce the law?

alike should not pay the penalty of tho
law, and the people should not be govern

The governor was asked 'Will your
action be in any way influenced by the
opinions expressed by persons outside of

the people of your own State?"
