course Of which he found his dog
astridc the dead body Of the deer,
whilo an Indian stood little way Off,
bow and arrow in hand. BY signs he
made the white man understand that
he had wounded the deer and the dog
pulled 1t down. Then he cut up the
deer, tied the forchalf Of it up in the
skin and placed it on one side. The
other half he laid Mt Maj. Champions
feet, delivering himself of u speech in
the Ute language. The white man un-
dcrstood his meaning, but not q word
Of his address. The Indian and the
dog had killed the deer together, and
the dogs owner was entitled to half
the game. The major was equal to the
emergency. lie rose and delivered in
full the classical defamation: my
name is Norval," with appropriate ges-
lures, just as he had many times given
it at school. Nothing could have been
bettor. The Indian and the white man
shook hands with effusion, and each
with his share of the venison rode

For several years the japanese have

distinguished actor was the favorite of
the Soshi. He made innovations In dra-
matte art. He was nothing II not real
istic. When the war came last year he
realized that his harvest time had ar
rived. He wrote and put upon the
stage . war drama of the most CORY and
terrifying character. He introduced
European effects, with battles, ship
wrecks, rescues, etc. The heroics were
never better presented. He coined
money
Then, says the New York Herald, to
give himself greater leeway, he rushed
OF to the seat Of war and returned
Rorged with carnage and fresh realisms.
His popularity increased tenfold, for
6eids and smelled the gaseous product
Of gunpowder. His new play brought
him fresh laurels, as he pcrched for
awhile upon the perilous crest Of fame.
Imagine the surprise Of everybody
when it was learned the other day that
the great Kawsl<ami had been laid by
the heels by bailiR in Osaka and all
his effects, movables, belongings and
