warm SO I think 1 viii go down to the

The little Boy Deer smiled and said to
his Mother: Yes, Mother. I will mind
you" So he lay down beside the tree
The Mother Deer went down to the
Lake and splashed around in the wa

the shore, then into the water and
out again three or four times, having
such a good time.
After the Mother Deer had gone

he sent them out on the streets of

MIDSUMMER NIGHT.
BY IMRI ZUMWALT.

BY IMRI ZUMWALT.
A sheen of cleaning wavelets,
A cloud all silvery white, :.
Timbered hills deep Swallowed
Against the fading light.
The silver turns to crimson,
The sky to FURNISHED gold;
The water repaints the picture;
The hills strange shadows mold.
The light fades into darkness;
The moon with misty ray
Shines down upon the water
Where trembling shadows stray.
A song floats DER the water
Like voice from days gone by,
Then dies away in silence
Where somber woodlands lie.
A boat is idly drifting
q. Bearing man and maid
Out of the prosy day-world
To the dream-world love has made,
And thru the misty moonlight
Loves soundless music swells
Borne in from the dreamy distance
Where life's deep secret dwells.
