kEPT up WITH THE HOUNDS.
A Pennsylvania Steer with Turn for
Speed and Fence Jumping

A PenHEylvSnIa Steer with a Turn for
speed and Fence Jumping
F. White, who lives on the highlands
of Elkland township, LaelIawanna
county, owns four fox hounds and a
Drvonshire steer named Pete, says the
Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. The
steer became attached 70 the hounds
when he was a calf, and in the follow
ing fan ne got in the notion of run
ming and believing after them when
ever Mr. White started the pack on a
fox chase. Pete would race behind the
hounds till a fence stopped him, and
there he would stand and low till the
pack went out ont Of sight over the
hills, when he trotted back 10 the barn
yard and acted as If he was lonesome
till the hounds returned. The other
day Mr. White put three hounds on a
fox's track in a swale on his place. He
stole out of the back way vSth the
dogs. and Pete, who was in the barn
yard when the hounds gave tongue,
leaped over the fence in a jiffy, few
down the road, sprang over a stone
wall and dashed after the baying
brutes before they had run the fox five
minutes. The dogs drove the fox into
Il swamp, where the steer couldn't 90,
and Pete galloped around the edge till
Reynard led the hounds 10 the upland.
when he made the snow fly with his
hoofs and quickly joined the dogs.
Within an hour the hounds made the
pace so hot for the fox that he began
10 play tricks on them to throw
them off the scent He ran on TO
q bridge and then leaped off the
end; but he didn't fool the dogs there,
and they continued to gain on him.
Then he took 2 squirt on q wall, and
down AT Charles Oram's farm he scooted
through the front yard, ran over 4 pile
of cordwood and started across a
meadow, with Oram's farm dog in hot
pursuit. The hounds and the steer
were not far behind when the fox and
dog had got 10 the meadow fence, and
in the adjoining field the former gained
on them fast. Oram's dog was yelping
1uriously and logging it at the top OF
his speed when the steer gave a below
and ran past the hounds lie had
caught sight Of Grams dog. and he
seemed TO know that the yelping cur
lad no business in the chase, for he
plunged at il with lowered head, ran
II of the track, and drove it to the
fence, where he caught il on his horns
just as IL was trying TO escape between
the rails The steer gored the dog to
death in a hurry when he flung the
carcass from his horns and ran like
wildfre toward the hounds in the next
field. BY that time the fox was jaded,
and almost as soon as the steer had
caught up to the hounds the latter
overhauled tired Reynard and shook
him 10 death. Then the steer began
TO below. and when Mr. White reached
the spot the hounds had torn the fox's
hide into strips, while the steer looked
on cOntentedly.

A UNIQUE Experience.

The Philadelphia Record tells the fol-
lowing interesting story:
That veteran but still charming actress,
Mrs. John Drew, recently had an expert
ence that was as unique as it was pleasant.
She was playing in n southern town and
accepted an invitation to attend recep-
ton. Her hostess urged her to be sure TO
keep the engagement, because an old
gentleman Is to be there who was present
at your first performance on any stage and
remembers it distinctly, though he was
only years old at the time. She refused
to tell his name, and Mrs. Drew says she
thought of nothing else for three days,
even dreaming Of the old ntleman.
Finally the day came, and at the door of
the house Mrs. Drew encountered her old
friend, Joseph jefferson, who said to her:
Just fancy, am to meet an old lady here
today who saw me act the first time ! ever
appeared on the stage. I'm quite excited
over it. When they got inside, the host
ess confessed that she had tried her little
ruse In order TO get both the artists to at
tend, and jefferson admitted that Mrs.
Drew had attended his first appearance on
any stage.
