THE DEER DID 1T.
The Exciting Experience of a Port
land Man.

A Deer Rushes in Front of Contractor
Away-Mr, Flanagan Was Thrown
Over Stone Wall and Lay Unconscious
for an Hour.
Most men are always anxious to see
a deer and many a man has tramped the
woods of Maine for day after day In the
hope of catching n glimpse of one of the
fieet-footed Inhabitants of the Maine for
ests only to be disappointed.
Mr.. j. Fl. Flanagan of this CITY is one
of the latter class. He had almost come
to believe that the only deer in Maine
were confined whiting the wire netting
of Deering Park. He was what the hun
tiers term a "hoodoo.'
A hunting party had but to take Elan
agan along and all the deer within radi-
us of miles would Immediately betake
themselves to more oongenial pastures.
But all this has been changed. Mr..
Flanagan has seen deer and seen
enough of one to last him the rest of his
life he says
The manner in which he caught sight
of his first deer is as follows:
For several weeks past Mr.. Flanagan
has been engaged with crew of nearly a
hundred men in making extensive exi
cavations and improvements at Petit
Manan, the beautiful new summer resort
on the rock bound coast, at the extreme
Eastern part of the state which is doubt
less destined to become one of the great
pleasure resorts of the great state of
summer play grounds.
One of the attractions which Is set
forth In glowing terms by the promoters
of Petit Manan is the abundance
Of deer which are said to make their
home in the immediate vicinity.
| Mr.. Flanagan was rather inclined to
be incredulous in regard to the deer, but
he is grimly convinced now that Tit
Manan is all that is claimed for 1T.
| A few days ago he was driving to a
distant part of the property and was
wagon surveying the surrounding land
scape. Of a sudden there was tremen-
dous crash in the bushes at the side of
the road. and right in front Of the team,
SO close in fact as to brush against the
horses nostril, leaped a monster buck.
The horse was wildly frightened, stood
on his haunches moment and then tore
off at a breakneck speed. All efforts to
control the frightened animal were
fruitless. In less time than it takes to
tell it, he had dashed down steep in
cline ana crashed against stone, throw
| ing Mr.. Flanagan over his head into the
field beyond.
The latter sustained terrible blow and
was rendered completely unconscious.
He lay for over an hour unconscious
when, as good luck would have 1t. fish
erman named Grant, came ashore for
some purpose and landing on the beach
at the foot of the field, came up into the
latter and found Mr.. Flanagan lying face
downward on the ground still unoon-
scious. Grant procured assistance as soon
conveyed to the hotel where with medi.
cal attendance, he revived. His ribs
were \bady injured and it was found
necessary to put him in plaster cast.
| AS soon as be was able to travel he
came to Portland, and DR.. o. Neil further
dressed his wounds. He still wears
plaster cast, but 1t is hoped he has sus-
tanned no internal injuries.

Reseuers of the Ailsa's Pas
sengers Who Do Honor
to Jersey City.

The tugboat Harold. which played
such an important part in the rescue of
the passengers of the steamship Ailsa,
which was sunk III collision off Fort
Hamilton on Saturday is owned by
Deyer Jaycox of this city The captain
of the tug is John Coo.ey. He is a resi-
dent of the lower section of the city
Walter Jayeox, the deckhand, and Samuel
Jaycoz, the fireman, are also residents
of this city. Their prompt actions doubt-
less saved Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler, pas
sengers on the Ailsa from walery graves.
In the excitement caused by the stsm-
Wheeler jumped overheard. Mrs. Wheel
er was pulled aboard the IIarroll by
Walter Jaycox, who used a boathook
Mr.. Wheeler was clinging to a barrel
when rescued by Samuel Jaycox The
coolness of Captain Cooley in guiding
his boat near the sinking ship, materi-
ally assisted in the rescue of the panic
stricken crew and passengers.
The Harold had been down the Bay to
Hoffman, Island and was steaming back
cautiously on account of the neavy fog
when the Ailsa was sighted. The cap
tain of the steamer signalled Captain
Cooley that he had been run into, but
how badly the ship was damaged he did
not know. At his request Captain Cooley
remained alongside as long as possible.
When the effort was made to beach the
Ailsa, the Harold kept within fifty yards
of her and was even closer than that
when she began to settle. The Ailsa's
crew was made up of Italians and Cap
tain Cooley says they acted like towards
in deserting the vessel and allowing the
passengers to get away the best way
they could.
The captain of the Ailsa remained at
his post until the vessel went down. The
Jersey City rescuers have been highly
praised for their prompt work They
were in danger all the time the work of
rescue was going on.

Edward w. Box, in March Ladies'
Home Journal" writes Of 1.-THE American
Literary Centre and presents the claims
of New York and Boston (between which
cities it may be inferred he believes it
restsl for the distinction. HIS summar-
ICES New York in this way: "
New, York undoubtedly offers the largest
market for literature of any city in
America: This is naturally 50, as must
always follow in the case of the largest
and wealthiest city of any country. The
Empire City controls the largest number
of publishing. houses. even though it cam
not claim all the principal ones. 1t has
large number of magazines and peri
odicals of all kinds than any other city,
even though it is deprived the right to
the first and foremost of all American
literary periodicals, the leading. eclectic
magazine of the world, or of the most
widely-eirculated channels of serial liter
ature. But unquestionably, it has the
majority, and powerful majority it is.
It has libraries galore one might almost
say, vet the two principal libraries of the
country are in other cities. Its list of
authors resident of the city or near it,
is long and representativ embracing
some of the most gifted pens which
make contemporaneous American litera-
ture. If all our best writings do
not emanate from its Immense places of
output, a goodly portion undenlably do
