TWO HUNTERS

(Alice Jean Cleator.)
a hunter strobe uphill and down.
BEYOND the outskirts of the town:
With gun in hand he took his fill
OF what he called fine sport--to kill
No ear had he for romping brooks.
No eye FOR Gods great picture books.
He silenced song that upward scared.
Took life that could not be restored.
Another roamed by hill and stream,
Saw the pale willow catkins gleam,
Saw flash of timorous furry feet,
Felt the still woodlands pulses beat,
Heard the quick footsteps of the river;
Looked up and thanked the mighty Giver.
1 ask, What answer would YOU say
Which hagged the finest game that day?

colds, severe sore throat or bronchitis,
hot wet towels should first be applied
to the throat. chest and back between

Then Nicl1s should be rubbed in over

how to combine in Salve form. the
