A Sociable Fawn.

Two little daughters of I. W..
Bassett of North Bridgewater proba-
bly, believe in protecting the deer.
They went down to the mail box
together the other day, so they told
Mr.. English, the carrier on that
route, and on the other side of pair
of bars nearby were two deer, doe
and fawn. One of the little girls
was eating an apple, a nice red one,
and she held it out invitingly to the
deer. Perhaps the fawn thought it
looked pretty good apples are not
any too plenty this year and possibly
Mrs. Deer had been obliged TO put
her family on short allowance.
Anyway, the fawn bounded over
the bars and nosed the apple in the
little girls hand trustingly mo-
ment. But when she started to put
her hand on the fawn he quickly
jumped back over the bars and
joined his mother, as it wouldn't
stand much familiarity, not even for
a fine red apple.

Hum an Hearts.

Till we have reflected on it, we
are scarcely aware how much the sum
of human happiness is indebted to
the stage. We acquire cheerfulness
and vigor from mere association with
our fellow men in the theatre, and
from looks of happy expectancy radi-
ating from our neighbours counte-
nances, inspired by the anticipation
of prospective enjoyment of good,
clean, wholesome drama, well acted
and properly presented.
Such, at least, is the idea brought
forcibly to mind in gazing over an
audience assembled to witness w. e.
Nankevelle's great production,
Human Hearts" aptly described as
the forever evergreen success.
Human Hearts " is play that inva-
ribly appeals to all that is best in
man s nature, and uplifts him from
the sordid cares and petty worries of
daily toll and trouble.
Human Hearts " will be pre-
sented this season with an especially
strong company of players, and the
same fidelity to scenic and mechani-
cal detail that made it's former visit
notable. Music hall Wednesday,
