BOB AND NAN. 



AMATEUR l'HOTO BY W. J. ROWLAND. 



In the Spring of 1895, when Bob and 

 Nan were quite young, they roamed over 

 the hills in Hardy county, West Virginia. 

 While there, on a hunting trip, Mr. Frank 

 E. Watson captured them and brought 

 them to his home in Fairmont, West Vir- 

 ginia. They live in an enclosure surround- 

 ed by a high wire fence, as well to keep 

 them from running away as to prevent dogs 

 from annoying them. 



Much happiness was theirs when a little 

 fawn came to them, in May, 1897, and great 

 was their sorrow when, only a few weeks 

 later it ran against the fence and killed it- 

 self. 



Bob and Nan are very tame and playful, 

 and answer to their names when called. 



All deer are protected for a period of 5 

 years, by a law passed at the last session of 

 the State legislature; but the gun clubs in 

 all parts of the State are. making strenuous 

 efforts to have this law repealed at the next 

 session. 



W. J. R., Fairmont, W. Va. 



He (angrily) — There is no use arguing 

 with a fool! 



She (sweetly) — But I was not arguing 

 with you, dear.
