a detailed statement of what he has
suffered from the ravages of deer In (
the past summer and of the incngro \,
compensation with which lie has been
forced to content himself, that seems
to form justificable ground for com

worthy of consideration from tlhe
roasonable tone in which it ls voiced,
and one ls led thereby to bellevo that
lt is based lu fact rather than lu Im
agination.
This fainer of Barkhameted, to con
denso his trouble's has had destroyed
by deer this sum mer the product ot
one-fourth of an aero of wax beans,
240 out of l,2f?9 cabbages, and three
fourths of an acre of mangel wurt
ze.ls, getting from the latter three tons
of crop, whore bo had reason to ex
pect twenty tons. In compensation
tor all this damage the state has paid
him tho sum of $20. He has to take
that or nothing for there is no su
ing tho stute. Farmers who have
tried to raise crops of this sort, and

Soon we'll put on lighter duds,
Leave off ealing beef and spuds,
Wearing furs and overcoats,
Having colds and bandaged throats.
Soon We'll hear the iee man say,
"How much iee you want today?"
Soon we'll trip upon the green.
Where the chiggers bite, 1 ween.
Soon we'll hurry lo tho shore,
Where the waves leap o'er and o'er,
hinch one wit li a bathing suit ;
Some rotund and others "cute."
Soon we'll join ibo picnic crowd,
Sellin}': forth without a cloud,

Twill be in a pelting rain.
Soon we'll watch Hie freckles race
Ulghl across Clarinda's lace.
Soon tho bore will ask anew,
"ls is hot enough for you?"
