The white buck of Nevada County,
probably the last of its kind in Cali
fornia, has fallen before hunters
gun. It's stuffed hide is on exhibition
in Ladd's gun store. 1t was not an
Indian hunter who killed it, for no red
man would have dared to draw bead
upon the beautiful creature for fear of
a curse falling upon bis family and his
tribe. The Indians in that locality
believed that the white deer contained
the spirit of one of their great and
good chiefs, and to kill it would have
been worse than murder. For several
years the animal had been OCCASION
ally seen by the Indians in the noun
tains in various parts of the country,
but they rarely spoke of it to
the whites, fearing the latter would
start in pursuit A few white men
saw it but none were very desirous of
taxing 1tS ne DeCduSe VI ltS peduUy. Iu
weighed about 65 pounds and its hair
and hide were of pure white. Near
the horns the hair was tinged with
gray.
It required nine large Winchester
bullets to kill it. The hunter ran
across the animal on mountain side
and opened fire. Although wounded
by the first bullet the deer bounded
into u small clump of brush, the only
shelter within mile. From his posi-
ton on the hillside the hunter poured
shot after shot into the thicket when
ever he could catch a glimpse of the
white hide. The wounded creature
was afraid to leave the bushes and
make run for shelter deeper in the
mountains, and it was literally burned
to death with hot lead. The last shot
entered the heart. San Francisco,
Call.

An Old.time LObster's Claw.

Over forty years ago, Elias Totman
of Phippsburg was fishing off Bald
Head, Small Point, when his hook
caught in something heavy and he be-
gan to pull up dead weight that
might have been a small anchor.
Imagine his astonishment when huge
lobster came over the side-a lobster
so big that it weighed thirty-five
pounds, and its claws were thirteen
inches long and nine inches broad.
The lobster was boiled in wash
boiler because the family kettle was
not large enough. About six years
ago Mr.. A. Y. johnson of this city
came into possession of one of those
great claws, that had been kept in the
rotmon family all those years. The
other day he gave the claw to Mr..
Henry Sargent Portland Daily Press.

Sure of HIS Train Time.

"What time will the train be in, do
YOU think 2" asked the impatient
man.
'It is purity hard to tell" an
swered the agent of the little South
ern branch line in the presence of a
Cincinnati Tribune reporter. "Sence
Bills tree was cut down he finds it a
heap eff trouble maxim jest the right
time"
"Bills tree!"
"Yas, Bill; he is conductor. you
know. The tree l was speakin' of
stood alongside the track about thirty
mile up the road from here, an when
the train came along and the shadder
of the tree laid across tho middle of
the top rail of Buck Johnson's fence,
Bill knowed he was on time, and could
gage her about to get here on sched-
ule time. Now they cut it down, and,
all Bill has to go by is his own guess.

Saving the COlOrs.

From time immemorial the armies
Of every warlike people have set the
highest value upon the standards they
bore to battle. To guard ones own
flag against capture is the pride, to
capture the flag of ones enemy the
ambition, of every valiant soldier. In
consequence, in every war between peo-
pies of good military record feats OF
daring performed by color- bearers are
honorably common. Tho civil war
was full of such incidents. Out OF
very many, two or three stand as
especially noteworthy.
One occurred at Fredericksburg on
the day when half the brigades Of
Meagher aud Caldwell lay on the
bloody slope leading up to the Confed-
crate intrenchments. Among the as
saulting regiments was the Fifth New
Hampshire, and it lost 1856 out of 300
men who made the charge. The sur
vivors fell back suddenly behind a
fence, within easy range of the Con-
federate rihc-pits. just before reach
ing it the last of the color-guard was
shot, and the flag fell in the open. A
Captain Perry, instantly ran out to
rescue it, and, as he reached it, was
shot through the heart; another Cap
tain, Murray, made the same attempt,
and was also killed and so was
third, Moore. Several private soldlrs
met like fate. They were all killed
close to the flag, and their dead bod
les fell across one another. Taking
advantage of this breast-work, Lieu;
tenant NettLeton crawled from behind
| the fence to the colors, and bore back
the blood-won trophy. - Harper &
| Round Table.

Good Joke on q Beau.

Friends of Charley Leffert a popu-
lar young railroad clerk, are telling
good story at his expense, says the
Louisville Commercial. They say
that one Sunday night he took young
lady to church. When they entered
the church few drops of rain had
fallen. Charley had no umbrella.
When church was over several wags in
the neighborhood stood ~ front OF
the church door with their umbrellas
raised. This gave the congregation
who were about to leave the church
the impression that it was raining.
The people in church were afraid to
venture out, although the stars were
shining brightly. OF course Charley
and his girl were among those who
anxiously waited for the rain to cease,
but the wags hung about the door
with their raised umbrellas and no
one ventured out. Then to do the
proper thing Charley gave little boy
II dime and chased him to the nearest
drug store to telephone for coupe.
The coupe arrived in due time and
Charley pushed his way through the
crowd. When he reached the pave
ment and looked up the stars shone
bright and beautiful, but it was too
late to dismiss the coupe.
His ride of three squares on beau
tiful night cost him 81, and now some
OF the church people say Charley was
putting on style.

Origin of the FOur-pOst Bedstead.

In medieval times, when life was
very insecure, it was usual for people
to sleep on bed which was surrounded
by sides of board, with strong posts
at the four corners. These sides con-
tanned sliding doors, which could be
fastened inside. When men retired
to rest they took q weapon with them.
If attacked in the night they were
aroused by the noise made by the
crashing in of their wooden de-
fences, and were able to defend
themselves. When the law became
strong enough to protect human
life, the sides of the bedstead were
gradually dispensed with, but the four
posts remained. The boxlike bed
stead still survives in the rural parts
of Scotland, and is almost necessary
where the earthen floors and imper-
feet ceilings cause much damp. Emily
Bronte in "Wuthering Heights" de-
scribes one of these bedsteads in the
old mansion as forming "little clos
et." Mr.. Lockwood, who had to
sleep in it, says: 81 slid back the
panel sides, got in with my light,
pulled them together again, and felt
secure. "-London Tidbits.
