Crushing A Senator.

Senator Deliver of Iowa tells this story on himself, which is expected to iIlustrste te the difficulty man of small means finds in getting along at the national. capital. As a representative he found little trouble but when he became Senator he found he had a much more pretentious title to support.
 '.On one occasion" says Senator Dol liver, "I was invited to attend a social function given by high official. l went and had a most delightful time, conclud- ing that Washington social life was rot a thing to be In the least afraid of. This conclusion was reached, by the way. just as I was taking leave of the host. | "A liveried servant approached me and asked if my carriage was waiting and whether 1t was a single or double con yeyance. Out of consideration for a lean pocketbook had ordered a cab rather than a two horse carriage.

 ''Pennsylvania Dutch" and I spent two weeks in Baltimore and then we fell in with & friendly brakeman, who gave us reserved seats in an empty box car bound for Memphis. There we left the train and started to beat our way down the river on the way to New Orleans.
 1 don't know how 1t is now. but ten years ago no tramp who had any expe- rienee on the road could be persuaded to follow the river due south. All the hobos who knew their business struck or for the east at the station north of Wa ter Valley, Miss, and walked it for more than sixty miles before they went back again to the Mississippi. They were bound to get good ways south ot Greenvflle. where the State convict camp was located. for unless they did 1t was a hundred to one chance they would be picked up by the police and sent out to the convict camp. perhaps Tor years Few professional tramps were, as matter of fact, caught in this way, for the free masonry which exists among the broth erhood of the road kept them always posted and the most hardened old bum never ventured near the forbidden ter ritory.

ARTISTIC RECEPTION DRESS

Some sportsmen believe that deer shot through the heart go blind as they often crash into trees or stumps before fall- ing. but it may be only the blindness of fast approaching death. 1t would seem almost that the stricken animal maintains it's equilibrium and the muscles act invol- , untarily after death has come. Instances of deer travelling more than a quarter of a mile when the heart has been struck by only one buckshot are too numerous to mention.
 l. On the other hand a very slight wound will sometimes stop deer. Hugh Boyd of Northern Minnesota, once shot a doe which was crossing the runaway at a walk, not thirty wards from him. Sha dropped in her tracks. Running to her he grasped her by the ears with one hand and drew his knife to bleed her when she Jumped up Boyd is a powerful man. He threw the deer and killed her with his knife, though she cut his right wrist badly with a fore hoof.
 She had been shot through the heshy part of the neck-"creased" as the term Is in the southwest No bone was touched and she had fallen merely from tempo rary shock to the spinal cord.
 Two winters ago James Dubose of Clai- borne Parish. La, fired at deer which was passing him at gentle lope. It's hndquarters sank almost to the ground and it endeavored to escape by dragging Itself with it's forelegs.
 When it had gone ten yards he shot II again. The first bullet mad struck the tail just at the root, but had not touched any part of the tody.
 Eve1 more strangely there Is record of q deer shot near Benavides, Texas, which was crippled too badly to permit of escape by a rife shot which passed through the tail at least two inches from the body.
 So old hunters know that however they may strike a deer they may still have tc trail it, and they know. too, that bullet through both shoulders is apt to stop Il within shorter space than a bullet sent through any other part of the body Green hands in the woods often lose deer and blame themselves for bad misses al short range when they would find the quarry if they followed the trail for 10l wards or so When an apparently dis graceful miss is made it is always wei to follow the track little way and look branches and bushes.

VITALITY OF THE DEER.
Its Ability to Keep Running After Receiving Mortal Wounds

New ! Ork Sun.
 Men who follow the deer sometimes see remarkable instances of the vitality or the animal. It has come to be trulsm that there is no shot which will stop a deer within twenty yards and do II every time s
 Deer have been known to travel q quarter of mile when shot through th,. brain to go 100 yards with broken spine, to pass on apparently unhurt when hit through the heart
 As a general thing, hound-drlven deer will go further when mortally hurt than deer which are shot while bemg stli- hunted for the reason that thoso driVen hv hounds are often going at top speed Their tremendous momentum carries them some little way and besides they are pad ly frightened and have the insunct to run so long as the muscles VIII act.
 Last fall C. H. Colbert Of FroStV1ile' used twelve large buckshot on deer which crossed him at fifty wards with the dogs not more than quarter oi e iIiIe behind it. The deer fell at the dlscharge of the gum rolled over in somersaui' leaned to its feet and disappeared with undiminished speed. ., ,oo ao
