A Hunters Tender Heart.

Many white hunters had scruples
against killing game for their hides. 1
knew q professional one who would
scarcely speak to a person who wan
tonly killed game. This man, whose
athletic figure, dressed in buckskin, his
cartridge belt hung with knives and re-
v~olver, with stern, grave, rugged, virile
features, covered with a shaggy name
for a beard, and with a heavy bass
voice that sounded like the rolling of
muttered thunder, looked the p~ersonifi-
cation Of the ideal pirate. Yet no
dreaming maiden possessed a more
genuinely tender heart. 1 recall
a hunting trip we had together. We
were on the divide of the Belt noun
tains. He wished to have a smoke
and We sat down in the edge of the
timber, facing an open glade through
which ran a game trail. In a short time
a she hear appeared, following along
the trail close TO which we sat, accom-
panied by a couple of cubs. We in
stantly cached ourselves and waited
until they should come close enough to
make a certainty of killing all three of
them. The cubs would run ahead and
play back and forward to their planti-
grade mother; occasionally she joined
IN their cubbish antics. Once she
stood upon her hind feet aud one of her
shaggy darlings jumped into her out

Of age whom he observed smoking,

habit had upon the general health. He
took fol his purpose thirty-eight, aged
from 8 to Is, and carefully examined
them. In twenty-seven he discovered
injurious traces of the habit. In twenty
two there were various disorders of
the circulation and digestion !; palpi-
tation of the heart, and a more or less
taste for strong drinks. In twelve
there were frequent bleedings Of the
nose, ten had disturbed sleep, and
twelve had slight liberation of the nu-
cous membrane of the mouth, which
disappeared on ceasing the use Of to-
bacco for some days. The doctor
treated them all for weakness, but
with little effect, until smoking wal
discontinued, when health and strength
returned.-Ex.
