THE SENATOR WAS ENCIrED.
Fired Two Charges of Blue Pills at "A Deer
and Dosed Himself with Buckshot.

\ member Of the United States Sen
ate. distinguished alike Tor his great
ability aud the unctuOuS manner in
which he tells story or relates I joke,
even il il Do upon himself. entertained
some newspaper man Saturday IN the
lobby of the senate with the recital OF
an incident in connection with recent
successful deer hunt not over thouS-
and miles from the Nations capital.
The Senator was combining quest OF
health with pleasure on this deer hunt,
and had zone provided with liberal
supply of pills provided by his Wash
inrton physician. He was campcd in
the mountains and was meeting with
/ fair share OF success.
One morning. while preparing to take
I his departure FOR the deer stand, a mes
sencer arrived loaded down with
glowing accounts Of the November Dem
ocratic victories throughout the coun-
/ try. Now, the senator is one OF
I the stancheSt and most enthusiastic
I Democrats in the country, and the great
news fairly set him wild. AbOut this
time the loud-mOuthed bay OF the hounds
came from the mountain, announcing
that the heet-footed deer had been
started. The Senator quickly loaded
his double-barrelled gun and fastened
TO the stand lie had been there but 4
few minutes when splendid three
pronged buck put in an appearance,
scarcely forty yards distant, utterly I'M
conscious Of such close proximity 70
the usually uuerring aim of the Sena-
torial deer hunter. Then there was q
/ loud report. the deer stood mOtionlesS,
and then the Senator let him have the
other barrel. But to the Senator's sur
prise the buck took header through
the forest at rate of speed which
showed that he was unaffected in wind
or limb by the fuSillade to which he had
been subjected.
The Senator is now convinced that
instead Of loading with buckShot he
had used the pills, and at most the
buck only received hypodermlc inJec'
ton of blue mass. The Senator did not
say. but it isiuSt possible that he also
got in the wrong pocket. that morning
when taking his daily dose OF phySic,
and instead of the pills dOSed himself
with buckshOt. It's certainly possible
he might have done so and been eXeuS'
able. suffering aS he was under the
effects of nervousness and buck fever.

and 10 is supposed that is what is now
sousht. The men seen digging were
