We have comparatively large num-

to leave the mountain by this trail through
the Fucker brush and down the steep
sides to the swamps below. While they
were going through this trail Indian file
we counted forty five. Had we known the
mountain and their trail we could have
easily gone around the mountain top and
with care got up to their trail, leaving
one man to start WITH or push the button,
and we could do the rest. But such was
not to be.
Well, now, back to our story. We were
feeling somewhat discouraged at having
no better luck with caribou, so we CON
cluded to take back tracks for our camp
at Roebars. We got off the mountain in
safety and stopped at the little camp for
lunch, packed up our bedding and started
down the east trail on the run. Our packs
were lightened by the absence of food
which we brought up, and we soon reach
ed the foot and rested at McCloud camps,
where the lumbermen were getting out
their sleds for the winters work. After
a chat with the big burly mem with red
flannel shirts and full boards, we started
on our long tramp back to camp, which
we made in six hours.
Choose Moss" Ben, Ed and | were
taking it easy along the tote road, when
Ben stopped short and whispered that he
saw deer lying down little to the left
Of the road but well back on a ridge
through the burnt lands. He pointed him
out to us and we all fired, except Choose
Moss who was a little behind. The
deer made a jump and was behind the
smoke of our rifles, but Moose Moss
was on the alert and dropped the little
fellow in good shape After dressing him
and pinning tag to his ear for the tote
teamster to bring him to Roebars camp
we hung him on tree by the side of the
road and proceeded. There was bright
moon and we reached camp little tired
and hungry, but after ST had made
lot of his celebrated fritters and Frank
and Ed fried large pan of venison steak
and Ben made a lot of hot tea, we com
menced to eat and came very near being
obliged to kiss the COOK We retired
as soon as possible and lay late Sunday
morning. when it was raining hard. We
made venison soup of BOW yak, for
dinner, and we spent the day in telling
yarns, singing songs and chewing gum.
At this writing the boys have some three
quarts of spruce gum lying around the
camp. Monday dawned cold and fair with
hard crust, which spoiled our hunting,
and we all went and logged in what deer
we had and sent word to Roebars - for
the tote team to come early Tuesday
morning.

Pig Fooled the Dog.

Rsee is true tale of q dog and
pig. They were both passengers on
the same ship. and quite warm friends.
They used to eat their cold potatoes
off the same plate, and but for one
thing would never have had any
trouble. This was the fact that the
dog had kennel and the pig had
none.
Somehow the pig got it into his
head that the kennel belonged to
whichever could get into it first, SO
every night there was race. If the
dog won he showed his teeth, and the
pig had to lie on the softest plank he
could find. If the pig got in first
Toby could not drive him out.
One rsiny afternoon the pig found
it rather unpleasant slipping about on
deck and made up his mind to retire
early. But when he reached the ken
mel he found the dog snug and warm
inside. "Umphr' he said, but Toby
made no reply.
Suddenly an idea flashed upon him,
and trudging off to where their dinner
plate was lying, he carried it to part
of the deck where the dog could see
it, and turning his back to the kennel,
began rafting the plate and MUNICH
ing as though he had feast before
him.
This was too much for Toby. A
good dinner and he not therel Piggy
kept on until Toby had come round in
front of him and pushed his nose into
the empty plate.
Then. like shot. he turned around
and was safe in the kennel before
Toby knew whether there was any
dinner on the plate or not.

The Chinese are nation OF cooks.
There is scarcely an individual in
their vast community who is not more

down to meals cooked by the hand Of

establishments the cooks are invari-
ably men. Half dozen coolies will
squat round bucket of steaming rice

HE HURRIED DEATH
A Suicide at James MCBride's
 Ranch Last Night.

A man named Hayden committed suicide by shooting late last night at the residence of James A. Mcbride, six miles north of town. Dependency prCducedNSy i'll health is believed to have been the cause. Hayden came here from Minnesota several weeks ago and not long after took up his residence at the home of MT Mcbride. He was not of a morOse disposition and though almost hopelessly i'll, he was not con- fined to his room and did not appear to be suffering great pain. About 10 o'clock last night he called MT. Me Bride and said he feared he was going Ito have a bad sick spell. He asked for a hot cloth. Before Mr. Mcbride left the room Hayden told him if anything happened to him or if he should be very sick, to telegraph his father in Minnesota. He wrote his fathers ad- dress and handed it to MT Mcbride He also wanted information of his seri- ous illness or Of any sudden disaster to him communicated to an acquaint- ance named Sanderson, who lives not far from Phoenix.
 Having received these directions Mir Mcbride left the room. but before he had got far away he heard a shot behind him. Running back he found Hayden dead, with a bullet hole in his head. Mr Mcbride at once came to town, arriving here a little before mid
