with Il Deer.

with n Deer.
A Marquette citizen tells the Mar
quette Mining Journal his experience
with "buck fever" He had never tried
10 shoot deer, aud hunting them was
new to him. After spending a few hours
tramping through the woods, feeling
tired, he sat down on log TO rest for II
short time, Now, like most hunters, he
had taken his pipe and tobacco along.
Filling the pipe, he smoked for time
without interruption, when, happening
TO turn his head little TO one side, he
saw large buck coming straight
toward him. AS luck would have II,
lie had sat down to smoke near deer
trall.
The deer kept getting nearer and
nearer, until he got nearly opposite the
place where the hunter sat concealed.
While the hunter was watching the mp
preach of the deer he forgot that he had
n gun, and that the deer was his "meut,"
He began TO tremble and shake in every
limb and joint, and it was a difficult
matter for him to restrain yell Of
fright. He watched and trembled until
the deer was passing his hiding place
and into the thicket beyond. Then, feel
ing for his pipe, he discovered that II
lay on the ground near his feet BY
the time he had picked II up the deer
was out Of range, and then he discov-
cred that In his excitement he had bit
ten the mouthpiece Of his pipe in two.
lie was greatly relieved to see the deer
move on, as It seemed to him that he was
the game and the deer the hunter.

THE HORSE TRAINERS LIFE.
1t In Full of Responsibilities and
AnxieticR.


II In Full of Responsibilities and
AnxietIeH.
According 10 sporting authority, the
life Of horse trainer is about as little
to be envied as that Of any mortal. In
the excitement consequent to big race
the jockey is the hero of the hour, and
never a thought is bestowed on the
trainer, to whose fostering care both
horse and jockey owe the burst of en-
thusiasm that invariably proclaims vic
tory, The jockey has the hays, the
trainer none, The responsibility and
anxiety felt by the jockey when he rides
Derby-winning favorite is but drop
in the ocean compared with that which
weighs on the mind of n horses trainer
The Jockeys troubles are over within
the space of few fleeing moments,
but the trainer who has a crack in his
charge knows no peace Of mind for
months. Sleepless nights are frequent
ly his portion. He never can tell from
one to another what may happen. BE
the horse ever so sound, he cannot tell
when an accident may destroy all hope
of success, and bitter must be his eX-
perience when he sees victory slipping
from his grasp. If the horse be deli
cate one, with slight suspicion Of be-
ing not quite right in his wind, or un-
certain on his legs, and the winter be a
hard one, the trainer has q weary and
unhappy time of it, and it must be with
feeling of intense relief that he de-
livers the horse fit and well on the
eventful day of the big race.

The democratic party of Kansas,
