Philadelphia Record: A Conshohocken
saloon keeper had a silver horsesh1e
hanging in his barroom which he bought
for good luck, regardless of the "tradi-
tom that the horseshoe should be found.
and to buy one is considered the Begin
ming of the worst kind of luck. A few
nights ago several men entered his saloon
and drank at the expense of the easy
looking youth who accompanied them. In
payment for the drinks the young man
rendered q brand new ten-dollar bill,
which no laid fiat upon the bar. Unfor-
tunately the proprietor couldn't change
it, SO the liberal youth said that he and
his friends would drink it out"
They drank about Sc worth when the
saloon keeper remembered that he had
some change upstairs and asked for the
note again. 1t was laid down on the bar
again in a lump, and as the proprietor
Strengthened it out he saw it was a fraud,

Of the northern countries is has made
scotland one of the best places for deer
hunting in Europe.
While in Scotland the deer is still hunt
ed with hounds, deer stalking. the game
in which the sportsman matches the
keenes power Of human patience, endur-
ance and skill against the wonderful in
stlnct OF the animal, is eve more popu-
lar. When this sport is to be INDUCED in
the sportsman simply dons the Oldest
clothes possible and with his rifle on his
arm goes out to win his trophy by sheer
force of skill.
The art of deer stalking lies in the abil-
NY OF the sportsman to prevent the an
TERED king from catching his scent. Man
mas only n scent to a deer and that
scent means danger. If the wind is
strong a Whit of this scent will reach a
deer a mile distant and in an instant he
is Off and away. How difficult it is to
stalk a deer the one who has not made
the experiment can never understand.
put In spite Of these obstacles l have seen
H1ghlanders who We're such skillful stilk-
ers that they could creep close to a deer
as he stood feeding. To the novice this is
OF course impossible. All he can do is to
trust to luck that he is not scented" for
IN such a case he stands a good chance of
finding his game.
n shooting of deer in ain and the
British portion of America is married by
the fact that there is often snow on the
ground during the hunting season. Then
the deer is entirely at the mercy of his
foes for his hoOfs are so sharp that they
sink deep at every bound, and either

During the past few years / have hunt

my canoe along streams that passed

about the shooting of such big game.
Of course there is a certain degree of
sport in following the hounds in England
but the pleasure is marred by the fact
That the deer are kept in preserves. In
Fsxmoor, In the west of England, how
ever, the red deer are still unrestrained,
n there one may obtain some idea Of
what the word hunting means. There
the chase has it's three distinct stages,
Just as it should have. First there is
the work of "harboring," or, In other
words, finding the deer; then there is the
'tufting,' which means to drive him out
1T the woods with a few selected hounds,
after which comes the chase proper.
when the entire pack is laid on. Under
these conditions. with a "~warrantable"
stag located by the "harbOrer," the
sport is all that any one could wish.
