HUNTING ANTELOPES.
Discourasing Experience of an idaho Man
in Search of Food.

0lSCOuTdsSHS experience OF an XO81O man
in Search of Food.
A hunter who recently came in from
his retreat relates the following story
and exhibits scars to zorro borate his
statement:
A new snow like a plush carpet
clothed the little valley and made
grand the towering mountains that
almost overhang the raging river:
Silver mountain of the Salmon river
range forms sublime background for
the landscape above Garden valley in
Idaho. Ny little log cabin is in the
shade of the great mountain, which
has its crest in perpetual snow, its
ribs Of glaciers, and its dark fir forests
If green. My nearest neighbor is q
new arrival who lives three miles
down the river. He has family of
grown sons-and daughters 1 am a
bachelor decided to visit him on that
first day of snow. AS is the custom in
this land, where we depend upon wild
meat as an important article of food.
l carried my trusty rifle. One-haH
mile from home l came upon herd OF
antelope in a little cove. They had
not suspicioned danger They were
feeding toward me- In fact they
seemed to be on the move toward the
river, but were browsing as if they
had made a long journey on short ra-
tons but had not quite determined
upon that spot as a winter range. A
flock of sheep in charge Of a shepherd
would not have been more quiet and
peaceful l counted far up into the
hundreds while enjoying the picture
of pretty animal life. In fact had
no desire to murder one of the mild
eyed creatures, but my larder needed
replenishing: They approached till
the leader was within thirty yards
The valley narrowed to canyon at
the point where I was secreted and
the many heads and horns hud-.
died together as the steep sides
forced them toward the narrow pass
way. The brown mass was so crowded
together that I could not see the white
snow between the animals. ] singled
out plump fawn, and without NOV
ing from behind my shelter, fred at
it. A 1890 never made so much noise
before. There was a white cloud of
dry snow. A thousand feet had kicked
it into the air. and it circled some-.
thing like the beginning of blizzard
Then came q rush l was knocked
down by an antelope. I was tramped
upon and jumped upon till the breath
was out of my body. When recov-
cred the storm of live antelopes had
passed. The whole herd had run over
me. My clothes were torn off, was
scratched bruised and cut from my
boots to may ears. I crawled home
without my meat. An external ap-
plication of antelope sufficed for that. {

A TRUE PHILANTHROPIST.

The Fatherly Interest G. w. G hilds Takes
in His ewspaper Men.
AT the back part of the building on
the main floor is Mr.. Childs' private
office, perfect jewel of an apartment,
combining all that medieval and es-
thetic ornamentatlon can add to mod
ern luxury; room full of clocks and
porcelain, of portraits and etchings
books, sketches. photographs and relics
of all ages, races and previous condi-
lions of historic servitude. Here the
most philanthropic of business men
and the most business-like of philan-
thropists sits throughout the day. his
busy brain turning over schemes for
making life more worth the living,
mingling but never mixing. business
with charity. and the social amenities
of private life with public affairs.
No reference to Nh. Childs is com.
plete without some mention of the ex-
traordinary principles upon which his
office is conducted Not a dollar of
the enormous revenue of that great
paper goes into the owners pocket.
Part of it goes back into the Office to
the employees, the rest goes out into
the world in many beautiful and help
full charities in this and other coun-
tries. The part that stays within the
Office MI: Childs does not regard as
charity. He thinks it right that
those who earn should have.
The world knows about the liberal
salaries, the Christmas presents of
from $40 to ST. O00 the trips to Cali
fornia and Europe for sick employees
and the full-pay pensions for broken :
+! down workers, but the office is not
charitable institution. Its owner care
fully selects his men. They must be
able and honest, and he rarely errs in
judgment. There are some men who
can not bear the sunshine of prosper
ity. especially when it is of such a
! tropical character as that which per-
vades the solar system of which Mr.
Childs is the center: These are never
allowed to interlace their meteoric
paths with the well-settled orbits of the
Ledger's satellites.
Rewards are adjusted on the basis
of Ito him that hath shall be given"
though the second clause to the rule is
ignored. Because a man has saved
up money and is able to spend his de-
clining years in comfort is no reason,
says Mr.. Childs. why he should be de-
prlved of the pension which a
spendthrift would need to keep him
from starvation. A notable case of
this kind was that of the old fnancia
editor of the paper, who, after forty
years of active service. was allowed to
hold 4 nominal position and draw full
pay up to the day of his death. though
he was reported to be worth $500. 900
and another did the work. When he
died, however. his estate footed up
$3.50. 900.
OF Mr. Childs himself little can be
written that has not already been ex-
pressed. OF some few others it has
been said after death. in retrospective
charity, none knew them but to love
them, but of him it can he Justly sail
IN the present tense, none know him
but to love him. - Washington Post

PITH AND POINT.

E" Consideration for others is the
foundation of good breeding.
No man can truly feel for the poor
without feeling in his pocket.
We can not conquer necessity,
but we can yield to it in such way
as to be greater than if we could

Life is history, not poetry: It con-

Illuminated by flashes of great heroism,
rarely broken by great dangers or de-
manding great exertions. -Lecky.
ALI truly wise thoughts have been
thought thousands of times; but to
make them truly ours. we must think
them over again honestly till they
take root in our personal experience.
Goethe.
What a man-be he young, old or
middle-aged-sows, that, and nothing
else, shall he reap. The one thing to
do with wild oats is to put them care
fully in the hottest part of the fire,
and get them burnt to dust. every seed
of them. Thomas Hughes.
Never mind what the world thinks
about you. 1t cares little for you and
thinks less about you. Better think
about and for yourself You are your
own best companion and judge.
1t is almost as difficult to make a
man unlearn his errors as his knowl-
edge. Nal Information is more hope
less than non-information; for error
is always more busy than ignorance.
Ignorance is a blank sheet on which
we may write; but error is scrubbed
one on which we must first erase.
"A young man asked his austere
parent Shall marry for love or
money!" He was answered in this
wise: If you marry for love, you will
probably always be in want of money;
if you marry for money, you will al
ways be in want of love; therefore
your safest way is to marry for little

"A man, who probably went on a
friends note, describes friend to be
a self-sacrificing individual who places
himself between the anvil and the
hammer. The same idea in another
shape is to he found in the remark of
the gambler: The only hand in this
world which blesses those who grasp
| it is full hand. "-Ie1as Slttisgs.
Hardly man. whatever his cir
cumstances and situation, but if you
| get his confidence will tell you that he
is not happy: tits, however, certain that
all men are not unhappy in the same
degree. Is not this to be accounted
for by supposing that all men measure
the limited happiness they possess by
the happiness they desire or think they
deserve?-Grevile.

TWO SURPRISES.

''Wby not cease work at eventide
When the labOrer should be free?"
II do not slave" the old man said;
"And am always free;
Though work from the time leave my bed
Till can hardly see.''
"How much," said the King, lis thy gain in a
day!'
Eight groschen, " the man replied.
"And thou canst live on this meager payv'
Like King" he said with pride.
1.-Two groschen for me and my wife, good
friend,
And two for debt owe;
Two groschen to lena, and two to spend
For those who can't labor, you know"
''Thy debt:' said the King; said the toiler:
"Yea,
TO my mother with age oppressed,
Who cared for me, toied for me, MANY a day.
And now hath need OF rest
ITO whom dost lend of thy daily storey
ITO my 5oys-for their schooling: you see,
When am too feeble to toll any more,
They will care for their mother and me''
''And thy last two groschen? the monarch said
MY sisters are old and lame;
give them two groschen for raiment and bread.
All in the Fathers name"
Tears welled mp to the good Kings eyes.
Thou Snowest me not said he;
"As thou hast given me one surprise,
Here is another for thee.
II am thy King; give me thy hand"-
And he heaped it high with gold
"Whcn more thou needest, command
That at once be told.
''For would bless with rich reward
The man who can proudly say
That eight souls doth he keep and guard
On eight poor groschen day.

Democracy OF Arkansas.

New YORK, Aug. pa letter
from Bedford Brown of Locust Ba-
you. Calhoun county, Ark, to the
National Republican Committee,
shows q deplorable state of affairs
in his county. Brown is . Southern
man, but = Republican, and he
soundly denounces the buil-dozing
acts of the Bourbon Democrats. He
said last week that members of the
county fusisn ticket were met by
armed and drunken Democratic
mobs and were driven entirely out
Of the field. A mass meeting was
called by the fusion ticket At Cam
bersville. but it never took place.
A murderous mob, headed by the
Sheriff, met the citizens going to
attend the meeting and ordered
them to 70 home and crawl into
their holes until the election was
ever, or forfeit there lives. Browns
letter is graphic, and clearly shows
that the shotgun brigade of the
South Is in the saddle again.
The State election takes place Mon
day.

EoR PRESIDENT.
THE OUTLOOK.

A correspondent Of the Gazette
writing from New York, says: The
outlook is no: so rosy-hued for the
Democracy as it was thirty years
ago; what is especially significant
some of the leaders are not as san
guine OF success as they might be.
When the politicians talk OF pub
location they usually paint q picture
OF bright colors, but when they talk
seriously and in confidence every
thing is changed.
To keen observer it will be
noted that just now in the ranks of
the Democracy, particularly in New
York, harmony is not prevalent.
The factions are in a turmoil that
is calculated to cause serious dis
sensions in their respective camps.
1t is openly avowed that Grace is
the Administrations chsice for
governor, and the powers that DO
are working secretly to destroy
David Bennett Hill. Already the
fight in New York has assumed
definite shape and the first blow
was struck when Grace made his
attack on Governor Hill.
1t will also be remembered that
Edward c., Cooper, who is power
in New York politics, besides be-
ing several times millionaire, pro-
tested against tie st. Louis plat
form, and Mayor Hewitt would not
permit salute to be fred IN honor
of ClevelaId's denomination. These
little incidents may appear trifiing,
but ct the same time they are straws
which indicate the political current.
The success of the Democratic par
ty, every one will admit, hinges on
New York, and until some startling
changes are made the Empire
State will not be found in the
Democra tic column IN Novem-
Der.
The Mayor of New York has
more patronage to dispense than
the President, and history shows
that New York Democrats will al
ways make desperate effort to
control the State even at the ex-
peAse of the President.
Governor Hill is candidate for
He has the liquor
men and the German vote solid.
William X. Grace is the candidate |
OF the Administration, and the at
tack upon Governor Hill clearly |
came from Washington. Now. no
one can doubt that there is q storm
brewing in the Democratic fort, |
and it won't take long before the |
fuse will be near the gun powder;
then look out for the explosion.
Speaker Carlisle's sudden visit to |
New York and the Presidents re-
cent trip all have a deep meaning,
and the time is near ct hand for |
some very Interesting disclosures.
