her nose to catch the scent, would
start at once in the right direction.
The bison had no such power, and if
ever he missed his companion would go
wandering about till he found her.
When the bull was three years old he
was presented to the maharajah and
was sent off to the nearest railway STA
tion-some sixty miles away.
The doe soon noticed his absence,
held up her nose as usual, got the di-

six miles away, she overlook him. He
showed the most extreme delight, and
the two travelled happily together to
Mysore.
Mr.. Park saw the bull in 1891, and
two or three years afterwards Mr..
Elliot was glad to learn that the bison
and the deer were still inseparable
companions and both in excellent
health.
He believes that the bull would long
ago have pined away and died but for
the society of the doe.

Wen-Known Authors Who Decline to Ac-

cept Money for Their Works.
This is true of Count Lyof Nikol-
aievitch Tolstoi, the famous Russian
author, who, while i'll the army as a
member of the staff of Prince Gorts-
chakoff, was present at the storming
of Sebastopol in 1855. Leaving the
army, and already famous poet and
novelist, he devoted himself to liter
allure, and spent a short time in the
most brilliant literary and social
circles of st. Petersburg. Since his
marriage he has lived more or less in
retirement, and during the Russian
famines of 1891 and 1892 made great
efforts on behalf of the peasants on
and in the vicinity of his estates. In
the latter year Count Tolstoi resigned
all social standing and privileges of his
rank, and he now devotes most of his
time and money to good works, while
living as poorly as any of the peasan-
try. He insists that the literal inter-
probation of the Sermon on the Mount
is the only rule of Christian life, and
he has expressly declined to avail him
self of any copyright in his works or in
translations of them into other
languages. DIR. John Charles Ryle,
bishop of Liverpool, has written above
two hundred tracts on religious sub
jects, many of which have been trans

our city, was entertained at a banquet
at the Sherman house last night, as
the guests of THE local lodge

beautiful metaphor. He explained
the great work being done by the or

N. A. Morford of Phoenix responded
to the toast, "The Daughters of Re
bekaih," and gave a brief description
of the origin and progress of that i'm
portant branch of the order, and paid
a glowing tribute to the influences for
good exercised by its members.
Judge w. D. Morton spoke of the
Odd Fellows home. He told in vivid
language of the great benefits which
could be bestowed Through such an
institution, to the aged Odd Fellow, the
widow and the orphan, and spoke with
feeling of the support which was being
extended to the project by the various
lodges and brothers in the territory.
After music by the military band
and mandolin club other toasts fol
lowed and is was long after midnight

A PRETTY STORY.
Friendship That Sprang Up Between
Bison and a Deer.

The bison of India has never been
kept long in captivity, except in tho
case of one bull, which is now in the
possession of his highness the mahara-
jah of Mysore.
How this bull came to survive, when
so many Of his fellows had succumbed.
is very pretty story. 1t is related by
the author OF Gold, Sport and Coffee
Planting in Mysore," who took it down
from the lips of his neighbor, Mr.. Park,
who captured the animal, and was
knowing to all the details of the story.
When captured the bull was supposed
to be about three days old. A week
afterwards young doe sambur, pur-
sued by jungle dogs, ran into laborer's
cottage, and was made a prisoner.
1t was decided to keep the deer as a
companion for the bison, and the two
were accordingly kept together, though
never ahut up.
They were fed on milk and then al
lowed to Craze, and soon became insep-
arabic. They were fed at twelve o'clock
and at four in the afternoon, and
seemed to know their feeding time ex-
actly.
When the bison was two years old it
was thought time to fit him with nose
rope. He was tied to a tree, his nose
bored, and he was liberated. He ran
all about the grounds, and then, for the
first and only time, he was heard to
below.
After this he was regularly led out to
Craze. The sambur would sometimes
