killed only two deer, buck and doe but
the trip was magnificent success. They
did not intend TO slaughter game, their
purpose being simply to keep their camp
supplied with fresh meat and enjoy the
outing They did try, however to get a
good head and were disappointed because
they were not successful They saw one
fine head about 200 yards distance and
their six rifles and that of the guide were
trained on the buck Seven bullets went
speeding In his direction. The hunters
have great respect for the carrying power
of that deer. Every man is positive he hit
the animal. but as it went away faster
than an express train, they have con-
cluded nothing short of a ton of lead
would have stopped him.

Circ,lmstantial Evidence.

4 plausible combination Of circum-
stances sometimes may put an entire
ly innocent person into seemingly
guilty position, as witness this quota
ton:
A certain young lady, against whom
appearances certainly looked dark,
once had an amusing experience OF
unjust judgment She went cut on a
stormy day, and was unfortunate
enough to have her umbrella turned
inside out. Her two sisters were
equally unlucky, and on the following
day the young lady volunteered to
take the umbrellas to be repaired.
Promising to call for them before
she returned home in the afternoon,
she went about her business, part Of
which was to do some shopping in a
large city establishment. On rising
to leave the shop, she mechanically put
out her hand to take possession Of an
umbrella that was close by. 1t looked
like her own, and for the moment she
had forgotten the accident. She was
soon brought to her senses.
"That is my umbrella, said asharp
vo;ce at her side. and a hand was laid
on her arm to detain her.
.Apologizing for her thoughtlessness
she left the shop, did the rest Of her
business and called fer her umbrellas.
In the street car she met an indignant
pair Of eyes Where had she seen
them before? They scanned first her
face and then the burden she carried.
"Three Of them!' muttered the own
er Of the eyes, and it was evident that
she referred to the umbrellas. "Three!
She's din no bad the day.
AS she spoke she grasped her own
umbrella tightly, and moved farther
away from the dangerous young lady.
The color came into the cheeks Of the
latter. The speaker was her friend of
the morning, and she evidently be-
lieved that the umbrellas had been
stolen from different establishments
in the city. And the worst Of it was
IL looked as if it might be so.

For Mothers.

To bring up child in the way he
should go, travel that way yourself
Stories first heard at mothers knee
are never wholly forgotten, little
spring that never dries upin our jour-
ney through scorching years.
The sooner you get child to be a
law unto himself, the sooner you will
make man Of him.
Children kneed models more than
criticism.
We can never check what is evil in
the young unless VIC cherish what is
good in them.
Line upon line, precept upon pre-
cept, we must have in home. But
we must also have serenity, peace, and
the absence of petty fault finding, if
home is to be nursery fit for heavens S
growing plants.
There is not man or woman, how
ever poor they may be, but have it
in their power by the grace Of God, to
leave behind them the grandest thing
on earth, character; and their children
might rise up after them and thank
God that their mother was pious wo-
man, or their father pious man.

A Growing Habit.

"Have you noticed rapidly grow
ing habit that has shown itself to a
remarkable degree recently-that of
people talking to themselves while
they are travelling in cars or even when
walking on the streets ?" asked an OBJ
servant man who gets about town a
good deal in the course of day, ac-
cording to the New York Times. My
attention was called to the matter a
few days ago, with request for an
examination. I hadn t noticed the Pc
culiarity up to that time, but since
then I have done so and the result is
veritable surprise. On Tuesday I
had occasion to walk from the corner
of Fulton street and Broadway down
to the custom house, and I walked
around through Wall street for the
purpose of carrying on my investiga-
tions, for I had found that there was
lot Of people, male and female, who
indulge in the habit Of conyersing with
themselves while riding on the cars,
apparently utterly oblivious to the fact
that people near them can hear every
word they say. Now, what was the
result? Probably you will not believe
it until you have tried the expert
ment, BUTT is fact nevertheless that
| passed II men who were engaged IN
more or less animated conversation
with themselves, and in two of the
cases the talk had reached a disputa-
tious stage. They all appeared to be
perfectly sane and reputable business
men. What was the matter with them
I'm sure I don know, any more than
the two men I met at big auction
sale week ago. who were plainly dis.
cussing with themselves the advisa-
bility of making purchases. One OF
them was man well-known in the dry
goods trade, who operates on the
widest possible scale, and as his firm
stands very high in the mercantile
agencies and his paper is sought for IN
the market it certainly could not have
been business worriment that caused
him to think aloud. However, have
come to the conclusion that this is the
cause in very many cases, particularly
among the men who ride uptown in
elevated trains at about + o'clock III
the afternoon, and who are mutterlng
to themselves about the market. These
are new and small operators who arc
carried away with the excitement OF
their ventures. But that theory vii
not work with the women who have
fallen into the habit nor with the men
whom | met in my walk on Broadway
There is some sort Of mystery about
the spread of this habit, but it is be
yond my powers dissolution. '-1A'c"-
