JEkYL ISLAND e e
Swim Across st. s,mon's sound in searos
of Food.

1t has always been claimed that the
game on Jekyl island would no leave
the island, but reports from St. ST.
mon's come to the effect that numbers
or the deer are swimming across st.
Simon's sound and landing on the
beach near Ocean pier, says the Sa-
vannah (Ga.) News. The result of
This is that numerous hunters are get
ting shots and enjoying venison in
such quantities as they have never en-
Joyed that delicacy before. It seems
that the deer on Jekyl have increased
so numerously within the past few
years that they are no longer wholly
wild, but at night come up around the
clubhouse and play around the flowers.
Their d~epredations on the choice beds
OF the ~millionaires' favorite plants be-
came so troublesome that a strong
wire fence was built and now incloses
some acres OF the ground Immediately
around the clubhouse. This kept the
deer away from the flowers, but 1t did
not do anything toward stopping them
from increasing in numbers. When
the storm came It carried away lots OF
the vegetation that the deer had been
feeding on, and there was not enough
left to go around. The deer then COM
menced to figure on going off td~get
something to eat, and It ended in
their seeking st. Simon's. II Is a good
swim across the sound to st. Simon's
beach, but they made 1t, and now the
hunters string along the coast and
watch for them to come. Sometimes
men are in boats crossing the sound,
and see the deer coming. A chase en-
sues over the water. and frequently
the deer turn back toward the Jekyl
shore and seek refuge in the woods OF
the island. They seem to know that
no one Is allowed to place his feet on
Jekyl without permission from the
club, and in this their instinct tells
them that it is better to swim a long
way back and get safe on Jekyl than
1t is to swim even a short way to st.
Simon's and then run the risk of be-
ing hunted by men on foot and horse
back after they get there. 1t Is a
novel state of affairs, but 1t is safe to
say that one-half of the deer could
leave Jekyl and there would still be
enough left for the millionaire sports
who visit that place to have all they
wanted to shoot at.

STORY OF A SENATOR.
BEvERIDGE HAD TO STRUGGLE
WHEN YOUNG.
A Protege of the Late Senator Me-
Donaid-Oncc a COWBOY on tho West

College.

S~enator-elect Beverage OF Indiana is
a native of Ohio. He was born Oct.
6. 1862, In Highland county. His father
INT all of his brothers were in the
union army, and his mother devoted
all her time during the rebellion to
gathering provisions for the union SOL
diers. At the close Of the war Mr..
Beveridge's father lost all OF his prop
erty and became heavily involved in
debt. The family was forced to give
up the farm In Ohio and moved to I'LL
nois.
There Mr.. Beveridge's life from the
age of IL was ope of great p~rivation,
hardship and toll. At IL years. of age
he was a.plowb6y, at IA he was work
ing as a laborer, at railroad construc-
tion, and doing the work to which the
strongest men were assigned, such as
driving an o~ld-fashioned scraper.
At 10 he became a logger and team
ster, and by reason of his natural COM
mando of men was placed in charge Of a
logging camp. He made his way
