THINGS LEFT BEHIND.
Articles Commonly Forgotten by
Guests at Hotels.

Every hotel in Washington has a store
room for articles left behind by guests.

the establishment, and often earns the
gratitude Of travellers whose unfortunate
habit of forgetting leads them to look for
things that are missing" said the manager
Of a local hotel. "In the leading hotels

descriptions of articles forgotten. When
a hotel does a large transient business it
is frequently with difficulty that lost arti-

DEER HUNTING IN NORTHWEST
How the Indians Secure Venison for
Their Larder.

4ue1T AaTQcT.
From the New York Tribune.
A New Yorker, who lives a small fraction
OF the time in the city, being usually long
distances away in pursuit Of game, tells
the method pursued by the Indians Of Brit
ish Columbia in taking deer. They have
evolved a system, the huntsman says that
shows practical skill and sympathy and
knowledge of natural conditions. He says:
1.-The Indians, to begin with, do not hunt
deer for the pleasure of hunting. They go
for deer a housekeeper goes to market
for beef. And, what's more, In British Co
lumbia, at any rate. they don't go sften.
Salmon are plentiful in the rivers and
easily caught. So, why chase animals when
they can secure fish? 1t is something as 1t
is in Newfoundland, where 1 went couple
Of seasons ago. There the prevailing fish,
as you might say, is cod. And, though
there Is no end to the variety of edible fish
that can be taken, the natives never think
Of eating anything else. Cod is plentiful
and they form the habit, I suppose. This
Is so ingrained that they call Goldfish. fish
simply. The genus Is divided into cod and
the rest Of fish.
well, when the British Columbia Indian
makes up his mind for venison he goes at
1t Systematically and without sentiment A
group Of half a dozen or ten men split and
take either end of a valley. Then they pro-
coed along the mountain slope from the two
ends to the center They choose the shell
tered side Of the valley, which the deer
seek to escape the wind. Each party COW
ers the mountain side, some near the foot,
and some at the top, and others between
the line, keeping abreast by an initiated owl
boot The deer on winding pursuit have
trick of leaping away down the slope.
unlike the goats, which go up, and thus
between the two approaching parties they
are swept together at the middle of the
valley. A good-sZed herd will thus be
killed off, and the Indians are supplied for
many weeks by two or three days exer
ton"

with the limitations which must control
them in all of their work. He showed what
brilliant failure Rev. Mr.. Sheldon's at
tempt to print religious daily proved, and
demonstrated that Mr.. Sheldon lost a great
opportunity to make useful and helpful
suggestions to the press. He explained the
growth of the Sunday newspaper, which is
merely meeting the expanding wants of the
reader and the advertiser.
The speaker also touched upon the
charge that daily papers publish too much
Of crime and scandal. In presenting mir
ror of the events of day 1t is impossible
not to include such events within decent
limitations, because people demand all
kinds of news in their localities.
The people themselves are the real SEN
sationalists, though unconscious Of it. All
the first reports of bank failures, terrible
accidents, fires, ETC., which are usually
fearfully exaggerated, are started by the
people themselves. and grow in size as they
fly from mouth to mouth. The intelligent
reporter gets at the facts and the news

thousand wild rumors at rest.

In all probability descended from the wolf
1t is the Eskimo's one domestic animal,
but Is of as much value to him as all the
domesticated animals Of more favored

so that black and reddish and spotted dogs
are seen as well az the pure-blooded grays

Typewriter for Love Letters.

From the London Spectator.
The Typewriter is an excellent machine
in its way, but 1t has its limits. 1t is
hard to imagine a poet sitting down to a
keyboard to produce a small sweet ode"
though 1t may only be that the notion is
unfamiliar to us. Musicians. though not
the most highly gifted. often compose at
piano. And there are still many people
who resent receiving a friendly letter in
type, though here also the real objection
seems to be that most private letters thus
sent have been dictated to third person,
and there seems to be a breach of con-
fidence in the fact. Only an American is
capable of strolling into one of the big
typewriting shops in Holborn Viaduct and
debating his love letters to the girl he
left behind him.
