slstIng of his wife, two daughters,
and his old negro Toney, the service
helng nearly half performed, and
the pastor speaking with much
faryency to his audience, his voice
was all at once drowned by sudden
and tremendous burst Of laughter, from
all parts of the church, which con
founded him.
This laughter was occasioned by
the sudden entrance of bis favorite
dog who always placed himself next
the pulpit door, IN full view of the
audience; he now appeared decorated
IN an old gown and wig, powdered
and tied on with much taste, which
occasioned such pealS OF laughter, that
he with diff uity obtained an eXp!ana-

parson opening the pul pit door, the old
dog lmmcdiatcl y assembled to him, and
was So protuse with his caresses, that
the pastor could scarcely dismiss his
congregation.

ins account OF the mode Of hunting
Rein Deer among The Copper and
Dog ribbed indians is from Captain
Frauklin's Narrative OF his Journey to
the shores OF the Polar Sea, in 1919

The Copper Indians find by cxpe
rience that white dress attracts them
most readily, and they often succeed
in bringing them within SHOT, by kneel-
ing and vibrating the gun from side to
side, in imitation of the motion of
deers horn when he is in the act of rub
bing his head against a stone
The Dog Rib indians have mode
OF killing these animals, winch though
simple is very successful. 1t was thus
described by MIR Vented, who re-
sided long among thai people. The
hunters go in pairs, the foremost man
carrying in one hand the horns and
part of the skin of the head Of a deer,
and IN the othera small bundle ofiwigs,
against which he, from time to tune,
ruhs the horns, initiating the gestures
peculiar to the animal. His comradc
