A Virginia Cook.

An incident connected with MI Fill

trates the oneness of interest that existed
between employers and family servants.
George the Brandon cook was fine spcCi-
men of his class. Master of his craft,
stately in manner and speech, he suffered
no undue humility to cloud his conscious
ness of his abilities. A family festival i'll
honor of a elan anniversary, had filed the
old house with guests for several days,
and tested the abundant lardcr to what
seemed TO be its utmost possibilities. On
the very day that saw the departure of the
company. communication was received
by Mrs. Harrison informing her that the
presidential party might be expected ON the
morrow She summoned George and i'm
parted the startling news, He met it
like an ebony Gibraltar.
Very well, madam. Your orders shall
be obeycd.'
But, George, can we be ready for them?
There will be about thirty persons, jnclud-
ing the President of the nitcd States and
his cabinet"

of foot, and some say the fastest animal
that lives. There is sharp edge on their
feet and the most slippery ice is passed
over with ease. They are a duh opposing
animal, and are easily approached when
scent does not favor them but when it
does, all the powers on earth cannot ap
proach one.
They depend on sight and scent, and a.
long as the hunter keeps out Of sight no
amount of firing will cause them to run,
and have been known to stand till the last
one of six was shot down. But they are
fast dwindling away, and in common with
other animals of our forest, will ere long
be known no more forever The taxidcr
mists are doing what they can to preserve
a knowledge Of them, and in the city Of
Bangor there are some OF the finest speci-
mems Of the art To be found in the State.
One set of horns. said to be the largest
ever seen are exhibited on Main street.
They are nearly four feet in length.

For tlf,y years this animal has been I'M

conscious security. None are found now
excepting in the extreme northern part Of
the State, along the Canadian line. Like
the moose, the caribou hates the sight and
sound of man, and when the sound of the
lumbsrmen is heard, he moves off. In size
he stands about halfway between the
moose and deer large one will weigh
between four and five hundred pounds.
It's color is peculiar. The body is light
grav. face nearly black, and neck nearly
white, and the end of the nose approach
the deer's About halfway between the
under law and the breast there grows a
tuft of hair about six inches long. The
males and female have horns, and some
times a female is seen with no horns. The
horns of the female are slim and delicate,
but the horns of the male are large and
long. They grow up sometimes three and
one. half feet, pointing directly upward, as
a main horn, then from this, about eight
inches from the head on each horn, beau
tiful branch puts out. forming right an
gIe with the main horn, and extending as
far down as the end of the nose, and just
below this another set puts out, some
smaller than the others, extending in the
same direction and nearly touching the
end of the pose, and thus guarding the
face and nose from attack from any quar-
ter The feet are very large and their
tracks through the snow are larger than
the largest moose. This led an Indian
once to exclaim, 'the Great Spirit, when
he made caribou feet, thought he was max
ing moose feet" They are extremly swift

The National tribune., 1888-12-27
THE BOY DUKE.


and the title that he bore; for which, and for
my right of Lordship over thee, 1 claim thy
loyal homage"
So saying, the young Duke extended his
hand, and Guy raised it to his lips and kissed
the palm; he then placed his own right hand
in both of Richards and in solemn tones, pro-
nouneed these words:
Richard, Duke of Normandy, 7, Guy of
Briancourt, am thy liegeman and true vassal.
l swear fealty to thee; promise to keep thy
laws and do thy just bidding, so far as in me
lies; to aid thy friends, and to fight thy bat
ties. pledge thee my faithful service, even
to the death"
" And l, responded Richard, with like ac-
cent of solemnity, do also swear to be thy
good Lord, to rule thee justly, reward thy
service nObly, and protect thee from thy foes.
Rise, my sworn liegeman, Guy, Baron Of Brian
court!"
This was the simple but indispensable cere-
mony which made the son of Bois de Brian
court as good as any liegeman of his Duke. 1t
was the usual form of rendering homage and
was only varied by the addition of sOme re-
lgious observance, or by the pomp and spIendor
which embellished its performance on some
great occasion; such as that of Richards ac-
cession to his DuGal dignity, when the homage
of his vassals had been rendered to him in the
Cathedral of Notre Dame with great magnif-
cence and much religious ceremonial but the
act itself was always the same.
ITO be coniiiuIedI
