While a considerable number of deer

the lack of snow for tracking, but
chiefly on account of the coyotes.
These pestifeious animals while singly

ranch in the western part of this
county, were surprised to see a full
grown buck, apparently in the last
stages of exhaustion, rush by within
a few yards; lying down in the
water as soon as it reached the creek.

The Tear. in Books.

1t Is not hard 10 understand why,
when a book makes you laugh, you
want to read It and to read it over
and over again. But it is rather
puzzling to find that one also enjoys
reading and re.reading books that
make one want to cry. What can
there be in us that likes to be made
to feel unhappy? In real life we
don't try to do things that will make
lis suffer-not at all! But there are
books that you caItnot think Of, once
you have read them, without tears
coming to your eyes, and yet You
will And that you love these books
perhaps more than any others.
To feel deeply is one OF the best
things in life; and there maybe, lies
the explanation Of why we do love sad
stories. They make us unhappy In
a way, but they DO not leave behind
any bitterness or sense OF personal
loss. And they usually have special
beauty OF their own. Books and
