From a friend at Auburn comes the
following, telling of buck being killed
there:
To the Editor: A few days ago. Mr.
ALI. Smith, a farmer, who lives one and
half miles from Auburn, killed a deer.
a fine buck. He saw tracks in his corn
field and soon found him in the woods,
where he shot him dead Why go to
Currituck or to the cane brakes of Mis-
sissippi to shoot big game? This is no
bar" story for Mr.. Smith has just
brought a piece of the meat here.
But, alas, there is another side to this
story, and this is, that from the State
Hospital comes the report that it is a
two-year- old pet buck, which belonged
to DR.. James Mckee, that has fallen
near Auburn.
The insane at the hospital were enter
tanned by the buck, and DR.. Mckee
hoped to raise others. The buck was in
an enclosure, with a seven-foot high
fence, but managed to escape. He was
chased, but the last seen of him he was
making his way down Mills road
Telephone messages and letters were
sent out, but without avail, that tame
buck was roaming in the woods, and
now comes word that he has been
killed.
A visitor to the city says the buck was
easily approached and was lying down
when killed. He was accustomed to
having people near him, and had no fear
that he was in danger.

City Built by Cain.

There are few places more interest ing than the little town of Baalbek. It is supposed to have been founded by Cain, the son of Adam, when he fled from the murder of Abel, and here he erected the first of all fertilization to defend himself against possible pur- suers. He named the place in honor of his son Henok, and peopled it with giants, who, from their stronghold, carried on warfare against the inhab- itants of the surrounding country until they perished in the flood. Nim- rod, "the mighty hunter" was one of the early settlers at Baalbek, and cer- tain historians identify the place with the Scriptural Babel, where that au- dacious man attempted to defy the gods and reach Heaven by means of high tower. Nimrod has the credit of being founder of idolatry and Baal- bek the scene of the first worship of William E. Curtis, in Chicago RecordHerald.

 The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to initiate Peruna. 4 great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found in many drug-stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at uniform price, and no druggist can get it cent cheaper.
 Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap limitations of Peruna for Peruna. It is done every day without a doubt

 Countess de Rochambeau stepped to the open way leading from the cabin to the deck. The guests arose and pressed forward to witness what followed. The countess took bot tie of champagne from the hand of President Francis, and dashing the sparkling wine on the deck, ex- claimed: "I christen thee, good boat, Mark Twain" Dr. Clemens respond ed:
 "Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gen tlemen-First of all-no, second of all wish to offer my thanks for the honor done me in naming this last rose of summer of the Mississippi valley after me. This boat repre- sents perished interest, which I for tified long ago, but did not save it's life. And in the first place, I wish to thank the Countess Rochambeau for the honor she has done me in pre- siding at this christening.

Hr. Chamberlain, in replying, eX-
pressed great surprise at the number
and character of the proposals, point
ins out that the conditions agreed on at
Nereeniging We're duly accepted by the
burghers and the British government,
and that they could not be rcOpened,
NOE could proposals be rejected at the
time be again discussed. If the inter-
prntation of the agreement was open
TO question, his majesty's government
would endeavor to remove all doubts
At the opening of the conference the
Boer generals disclaimed any desire
to alter the terms of surrender in any
way.
Mr.. Chamberlain informed the gen.
erals that there was no truth in the
report that the government intended to
sell farms belonging to burghers. Re-
garding some farms sold in the Or
ange River colony under the proclama-
ton of August I, 1901, Mr.. Chamber
lain promised that the farms bought
by the government would be re-trans-
ftrred to their former owners.
General Botha appealed for the wild
oNs and orphans. and said he consid-
cred that the appropriation of l5,OOO,-
600 was inadequate.
Replying to this. Mr.. Chamberlain
compared Great Britain's trea tment of
tie Beers with the treatment of the
South by the North after the Civil
War in America.
Il would remind the general" said
Mr.. Cham berlain, that we have un-
dertaken more under similar cifcum-
stnnces. We have done more than
think was expected, and we have done
all that we can afford to do, and
think it would be undesirable for the
generals to press us further in this
matter, either now or in writing"
Mr.. Chamberlain concluded with saw
ing that the government would be
glad of the cooperation of men like
the generals. who had loyalty accept
ed the new situation. As they wanted
South Africa to be n happy abiding
place for all, he felt sure that if the
burghers met the British half way
they would find them quite as good
friends in the future as they had been
loyal enemies in the past.
