o DEAR! Perhaps it is not generally known
that the game laws of Maine not only prohibit
the shooting of deer in close time, but also
provide that deer, if it happens to invade
ones territory. must be treated with great
consideration and respect. 1t must not be sub
jected to any nervous shock; in speaking to it
one must lower the voice, and on no account
must deer be trailed, tracked, molested or
bothered, and no dog must be allowed to utter
bark in its presence. A deer which passed
through one of our suburban districts recent
ly caused considerable excitement because it
chose to cross wood lot, take dislike to the
wood choppers, get itself all nervoused up.
jump fences and try to climb trees. While we
are in sympathy with the law and its enforce
ment, we can understand that it is difficult for
a man to remember his good manners at such
a moment. or a dog to forget his bark. and we
hope that the citizens of Belfast and their
dogs will not often be subjected to such Sc
we're test.
