IT WAS NOT A GENUINE MOUSE,
But the Young Lady Did Not Know it and
There WAS n Scene,

But the Young Lady Did Not Know it and
There WAS n scene.
Those little patent affairs which are
the latest in toydom are destined TO ere
ate a great deal of excitement along our
crowded thoroughfares, says the Boston
Post
One day last week, for instance, there
was q group of male pedestrians gath
cred in close ranks with craned neckS
about a fakir on the corner Of School
street.
A fresh faced, pretty girl in a big hat
and a stylish wrap sailed jauntily
down the street, the embodiment OF
brave and independent womanhood.
This dauntless young woman elbowed
her way ahead through the crowd and
glanced casually at the fakir with a
little suDercilliOus smile, which in
cluded the group of curious loiterers.
Suddenly the group was agitated and
gswaved in from the curb, and a small
dark object scurried across the pave
ment.
owl"
A distinctly femme scream smote the
circumam bient air and the brave young
woman, her eyes distended by terror,
grabbed at her skirts with both hands
and sprang into the middle of the
street, recklessly under the nose OF a
herdic horse. The herdic driver
said something emphatic; the men
on the pavement grinned; the
fakir dangled his patent
gray mouse and expatated on its re-
semblance to the real thing; and the
Young woman made wide circuit OF
the fakir's corner and dived into the
crowd skurrying down Washington
street.
Think what a great scheme 1t would
be when ones wife sends some match
ing samples at the dry goods store 10
take along a nice little self-acting gray
mouse and let It loose in front Of the
bargain counter!

SHOOTING DEER FROM TREES.
Curious Sport INDUCED In by the Apple
Growers of Arkansas.

Curious Sport INDUCED In by the Apple
Growers of Arkansas.
In the apple growing regions of
Arkansas the natives have a way of
deer shooting entirely original with
themselves. Deer love apples and in the
vast orchards they eat them freely. Not
only do the deer eat the apples, but
when the fruit is all gathered they
turn their attention to the bark on the
young trees and the branches of the
elder ones. In the fall when the apples
are plentiful the native watches for
deer signs. and when he locates the
trees which the deer frequent he goes
to work gathering the fruit, always
leaving two or three trees unpicked
that bear the favorite apple of the
deer. After the fruit gathering is over
he turns his attention to harvesting
Venison. The deer come to the orchard
to feed in the night, and when day
light comes HE away in some secluded
hollow and sleep. When the moon is
in the first quarter the native takes his
gun and goes out in the early evening
to lie for the deer
Generally two or three hunters scat
ter out about the apple trees that are
left full fruited to lure the deer to
destruction. They climb into the
branches of the trees short distance
from the ones that bear the fruit and
remain silent and motionless to await
the coming of the game. Shotguns
are the weapons and buckshot
the ammunition used. Usually the
hunters do not have long to
wait before they can hear the deer
approaching. The game comes cau-
tiously and it is sometimes an hour
after the game had been sighted or
heard before he presents himself at the
apple tree where he feeds. From a
