The careless hunter in the deer-track ded, woods Thought, as some hunters do, he had rthe goods When through the bushes he an ob ject spied Which seemed to him to wear a buck skin hide. Straightaway he raised his deadly gun rand fired With haste to mnakes a careful hunter tired, And forthwith to the brown earth dropped S An object groaning till its last breath stopped. IThe careless 'hunter then, to his dis-' may, Discovered that a friend of his had! passed away; A young man much like him who fir eed the gun With which the fatal shooting had been done. IHe called al'oud for help, he -tore his hair and cried In sore distress until there came a guide, Who looked upon the living and the edead. Then to the living thus he said: "Oh, that's all right; I'm glad to note~ You've fixed the merry one who rock ted the boat Last year, and by his jolly monkey biz SHe .got a few-he's now got his. And lis-ten, friend, you'd better go, It may be your tu.rn next, you know." y i -New York Tribuno. * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * y* AT THE THEATRE. * * ** 3Coming Attractions. -December 12-College Minstrels. n December 14-The Traitor. t'January 3-Finnegan's Honeymoon.
