Nearly Killed by a Deer.

The literature of hunting is full of
anecdotes which show the danger of
a too hasty assumption that a
wounded animal is dead or past the
power of defending himself A new
illustration is furnished by Mr..
Roosevelt in his Ranch Life and
the Hunting Trail"
Not only will big, black-tail
buck beat off a dog or wolf coming
at him in front but he is an awk-
ward foe for a man. One of them
nearly killed cowboy in my en-
ploy.
The buck. mortally wounded, had
fallen to the shot and the man
rushed up to kill him. Then the
buck revived for a moment, struck
down the man and endeavored to
gore him but could not, because of
the despairing grip with which the
man held on to his horns.
Nevertheless, the man, bruised
and cut by the sharp hoofs, was fast
becoming too weak to keep his hold,
when in the struggle the two came
to the edge of a washout and fell into
it some twelve or fifteen feet. This
separated them. The dying buck
was too weak to renew the attack,
and the man crawled Oft, but it was
months before he got over the eff

SHE POSED AS A MAN.
Romantic Adve INJURIES Of Mrs. Ny
strom, z Fugitive Russian Finn.
Rapid Change of Costume = Fled from
Her Home in Her Husbands Clothes,
But Resumed Her Sex on
Shipboard.

Mrs. Hannah Nystrom, a Russian
Finn, who cannot speak word of
English and whose troubles for this
reason were for several hours quite
mystery to the immigration au-
thorities, is held at Ellis island for
examination, says the New York
World
If the story that Mrs. Nystrom
told is true she has been afflicted
very sorely in her domestic life. In
order to escape a brutal husband
she was obliged to don male attire
and leave her native land.
The woman Is about twenty-three
years old She has fair, childish
face, and while telling her story to
one of the woman missionaries at
the island frequently shed tears.
She says she boarded at Southamp-
ton the American line steamer New
York, which arrived the other day.
She was then clad in the garb of
Finnish gentleman. She wore heavy
high top boots, a thick double
breasted waistcoat, a long frock
coat and a broad hat, something on
the order of a western sombrero.
Her hair was cut short, and in all
respects she looked like a man.
When she went aboard the New
York she was assigned to the mems
quarters in the steerage. When the
vessel was two days out the physi-
clan made his rounds for the purpose
of vaccinating all on board. Mrs.
Nystrom refused to bare her arm
when ordered to do so by the doctor
and a discussion followed. It was
while she was attempting to dis
suade the physician from his intent
that the latter suddenly realized
that he was talking to a woman
instead of q man. He questioned
Mrs. Nystrom closely and she finally
broke down and confessed. She said
that she was married and had several
children living in a small town in
Russia. Her husband, she said, had
treated her in very brutal manner
and she found the only way she
could escape from him was by fleeing
in the disguise of man.
She put on her husbands clothes
one night and took train which
landed her in London. She had a
small supply of money, which she
used. sparingly, and after arriving
at Southampton found that she had
enough left to purchase a humble
passage On the New York.
When the American liner was
boarded by the inspector after leav-
ing quarantine TIE other morning
Mrs. Nystrom was placed in his
charge. She was then clad in an ILL
fitting dress, supplied by one of the
women of the steerage. The women
missionaries took her under their
care at the island, and after some
difficulty in finding some one who
spoke the unusual tongue of Mrs.
Nystrom she repeated the story told
to the ships doctor. She was COW
cred with small sores, which are be-
lieved to be the result of a sickness
peculiar to the climate from which
the woman comes. She will in all
probability be taken care of by char
liable persons in this city.

A Chance for SOMEBODY.

Mr.. Decker had been entertaining a
party of his friends in the parlor and
the aroma of their cigars still lin
gered in the curtains.
Mrs. Decker was naturally dis
gusted when she came into the room.
She threw the windows open and re-
marked:
ssWell, it is all very well to talk
about this new smokeless powder,
but l don't see why somebody hasn't
gumption enough to invent a smoke
less tobacco. Exchange.

Occasionally it happens that a woman
by the very indulgence of her own eXtrava-
gance is given some brand new idea on
things in general and vast deal OF inward
nluslng on the depths OF human deprayity
to BE- met with in the course of a day scouting
in Paris. 1t happened in this wise to
Washington woman during one OF her trips
abroad, and the reason for her flood of
reflections upon the subIcCUUf human nature
was all because she would follow the bent
OF her own lnClinatiUns iii the matter of
the purchase OF dog The animal, beau
tlful little creature, il must be confessed,
was Offered for sale by a street fakir in
such things during one or her numerous
shopping expeditions RemUnstrance, en-
treaty and eXpuSJulatlOn on the part OF her
friends would avail nothing. Al all hazards
she was deterfained To possess that beautiful
little Sky-Olue poodle.
Nothing like 1T had ever been seen in
America, she was sure-certainly its like
had never dawned upon a Washington
public; therefore she was all the more
determined TO buy and bring home, where
with to dazzle her friends and make them
green with envy. Visions OF the first
prize at bench show doubtless hovered
in her mind and added to her determina-
tion TO ignore the ridiculously high price
asked for the poodle and have it for her
very own before the shades OF night fell
the men assured those of her friends who
eXpostulated upon the price, the very first
and only one OF the kind to be had IN all
Paris. II was only once III century, If as
often, that one OF that perfect, flawless
shade OF blue was born into the canine
ranks.
SO the fakir talked, and as she listened
the heart of the Washington woman
yearned more and more 10 possess the
poodle, even If It's purchase meant the
| foregoing of one OF the lovely gowns
| upon the purchase Of which she had set
out that morning.
So the dog was bought and forthwith
! carried back 10 the hotel III its owner S
| arms So precious a dog, the duplicate
! OF which was not to be had in all Paris,
/ could be trusted to no one. 1t must not
/ be allowed out of her sight SO il CON
/ timed for several da ys-the delight OF
! her heart. Then somehow tie soft fluffy
! little bit Of Cannity developed fleas, and
a bath was prescribed by the friends OF
| its owner A bath was accordingly given,
! but with wOfuiest result.
When the lovely little sky-blue poodle
emerged from its bath 1t was white as
snow, not even a trace fingered here and
/ there to bear testimony to the fact that
. IL had once been of that Cerulean shade
the counterpart of which was not 10 BE-
! found upon any other dog in all Paris
| That one bath was sufficient to nd the
/ dog, not only of it's attack Of fleas, but
, of its attack of the blues, for ever since
. ii has remained of the same ala basteI
tint. that at first nearly frightened the
| Washington girl into Mysteries when she
took it dripping from the bath.
