WILD SPORT.
How an Indian Runs Down Deer.

When sufficiently near, the hunter
takes his aim, and making slight noise
with his foot on the ground, which causes
the deer to turn toward him, has u good
chance to bat it in the middle of the tore
head But if he misses the mark, Or his
gun misses fire, then the fun begins in
earnest, and one of the finest races 10 the
world can be witnessed-a naked Indian
and frightened deer at full speed. II
the deer should happen to be more than
year old, it is Of no use following 1t, as
it will then outrun any Indian, and run
longer without giving out but if two or
three years old, or older, good runner
Will bring it down in a few hours, or
certainly within fifty or sixty miles. A
good runner among the Apaches can run
one hundred and twenty five miles In
twenty four hours easily.
The deer starts at full speed, making
long leaps Of from ten to thirty feet. At
first he gains rapidly On the Indian, but
the latter follows, every now and then
uttering frs htful yells, but never for
moment hating or losing sight OF the
trail. The deer, when out OF sight, halts
and looks back, but soon his persuer
comes into sight, when he bounds On
with longer leaps than before; finally he
makes for water, g spring or q stream
and when he gets there, he stops and
drinks all he wants. Now there IS no
hope for him, for after he drinks he can
not run SO fast nor leap so tar. Pretty
soon the Indian comes in sight again,
while the tired deer stops to rest mo-
ment; but the tired hunter never halts
to drink, not if his mouth is as dry as
ashes; for by so doing he not only loses
time, but he cannot run SO fast after
wards.
On he goes, never resting, either Oh
the hill or on the mountain. Ii the deer
takes to the top of the highest mountain,
right on his track the Apache follows.
BY -and-by he sees a blood stain on the
rock, where the poor, hunted deer has
stumbled and skinned his knee or struck
his nose. He knows now the race will
soon be ended, and runs faster than at
first, while the deer looses ground every
minute. When the deer sees the Apache
close upon him, he stops suddenly by
rock or bush, and turns. Sometimes as
soon as he stops he drops down fainting
| or even dead from fatione If not dead
already when the Indian so4Aes HIM by
head and hind legs, he makes but little
resistance, and IS dispatched with the
knife. The hunter now cuts out fine
piece and eats it, taking not moments
rest for fear Of getting stiff, but puts the
deer on his shoulders, or, il too heavy, a
part Of it, placing the rest in a secure
place, and trots back - camp, having
traveled7 a hundred miles without resting.
The next day someone will take his back
| track for the balance Of the game.

IN Indenenlent ElectOr.

II was the intention OF the founders
of the constitution that Presidential
electors should be untrammeied III yot-
ng for a President But custom has
long since made them but registers Of
Their party's nomination. Only one
case is known III which al elector,
elected to vote for certain candidate
for the Presidency, voted for another.
L was William Plummer, formerly Gov
enor Of New Hampshire In 1920, he
vas chosen Presidential elector, and
his course is described IN his sons bl-
ography Of him as follows
His name had been placed at the head
OF the list. without his being consulted
rs to whether he would serve or how he
would vote. It was on the occasion OF
Mr.. Monrocs second election. Gov.
Plummer did not regard himself III this
more than III other acts OF ms life As the
tool Of party, or the mere exponent OF
other mems opinions.
Bv the provisions Of the constitution
the people choose the electors; and it is
.he duty Of these electors to choose the
President. IN the exercise OF tins duty
ile voted for John Quincy Adams instead
ot james Monroe, who received every
other electoral vote in the Union.
This single vote against Monroe (for
it was regarded chiefly in that light ex
cited much wonder and some censnre at
the time. It, however. created no sur
prise to those who knew him. as it was
the natural result Of his general rule Of
independent action, combined with his
nvowed opinions respecting some of the
leading measures Of Monroe's adminis-
tration.

A BaboOn Dinner Episode.

Bishop Coledso gives this inciden. in
the early life OF "a South African haboon.
There is something quantity human about
it
"It was hot day and 8 number Of
balloons wele summing themselves along
the bottom Of the Donqd. They lay on
their backs with half-closed eyes, rub.
bing their stomachs in state of placid
enjoyment. Two or three young balloons
had wandered to little distance down
the Donqa, searching for scorpions
from stone to stone just below them.
They were not very successful, and it did
not appear that their movements were Of
much concern to their elders. Presently,
however one Of the young ones turning
up stone, lit upon particularly tine
and fat scorpion, which, with furtive
glance at his elders, he seized and popped
into his mouth, having first pinched
off the sting. He at once proceeded to
