The local manager of one of the
great numbering firms in the upper
Gatineau is in face, form and habit a
very fair representative of Santa
Claus. The resemblance required to
his mind with force recently when, as
he drove down Catfish lake, the clat-
tering of hoofs aroused him to the fact
that two magnificent caribou were
trotting alongside his horses.
Both animals were well antlered, and
beautifully marked with scarfs of
white fur around their necks, and they
kept up to the three-minute gait of
the ponies with the greatest ease.
81 guess the whole outfit made just
the dead image of first-class living
picture of Christmas coming straight
from the North Pole" the manager
said, describing this part of his adven,
ture.
At the edge of the lake he stopped
and, standing in his cutter, gave a
shout, "just to see the rascals jump,
he said. They did jump, and made of
hastily among the trees, but only fol
a little while. The peculiar clatter Of
their loosely hanging hoofs was soor
heard in the rear, and the man ever
felt their warm breath upon the bacl
Of his head.
Thus accompanied, he drove up t.

way he seized a slender pole lying IN
the bottom and struck at the buck.
The deer, evidently fearing that II
would drown--or knowing that II
would drown--before 1t could get
across, grasped the pole instantly with
It's teeth and hung on. Anton jerked
the pole a couple of times and though
he pulled the animals nose under did
not break its hold.
The canoe was rocking dangerously,
and his companion, grabbing paddle,
began to work the craft toward the
bank. The deer held on to its end and
Anton held to his, and so the trio
made their way strangely and slowly.
The deer did not struggle once 1t
was permitted to retain its grip, and
was towed along. When shallow
water was reached it dropped the pole
and started for shore.
Il was so weak that 1t fell on the
edge of the water, but managed to
scramble to its feet and the next In
slant into the woods at walk. The
men had no weapon and would moi
have killed 1t anyway.

Deer in extremity will sometimes do
strange things. Not long ago a guide,
/, AA.sS1 Lessale, with companion, was
in birch canoe on a pool in one OF
the upper reaches Of the Wisconsin
river. They had been looking for CO.
dar poles and were floating idly.
They heard the noise of dogs in the
woods and supposed that some Indians
from the Flambeau reservation we're
chasing deer. The Chippewa uses
deer dogs in spite of the state law,
since he lives on United States reser-
walton and skips back to 1t when in
danger Of arrest.
Five minutes after the men heard
the barks a big buck appeared on the
bank of the stream. 1t paused for a
moment and showed that twas in the
last stage Of exhaustion. Then 1t fell,
rather than jumped, in, though it saw
the men plainly.
1t struck out for the opposite shore
though able only to keep its nostrils
above water, and as the boat was In
its way came directly toward it.
A birch canoe is a ticklish thing
Anton was excitedly afraid that the
deer would strike and overturn 1t
since 1t showed no disposition to &C

Tom Reeds Favorite.

When the late Thomas b. Reed was
a student at Bowdoin College he made
a boating trip with some fellow stu
dents, and, their boat capsizing, they
were cast away without any food on a
little sandy islet just large enough to
afford them refuge. Here they re-
manned in furnishing condition for
several hours, when they were rescued
and taken off. During this interval
they tried many expedients to while
away the time, and among them each
was to signify his favorite poet and

The celebrated Thomas divorce case.
the hearing Of which in Chicago last
winter was attended with a wide.
spread interest, will be recalled by the
death of Gen. Samuel Thomas, which
occurred in New York last week.
The estate of Gen. Thomas is vari-
ously estimated at from s20,0O0,000 to
$40, 100000.
But one grandchild lives to claim
share of the estate. She Is Augusta
Eleanor Thomas, who resides in New
York with her mother, Mrs. Harold e.
Thomas. Mrs. Thomas is the wife OF
the Generals son, who resides in Chi
cago.
Col. BURY and Herbert L. Bradley,
who represented Mrs. Thomas in the
divorce proceedings of last winter,
will make fight for an equal division
of the great estate, while 1t Is almost
equally certain that Harold Thomas
will insist on receiving the entire
estate for his own.
The divorce suit filed by Harold e.
Thomas brought out an interesting

at which one or more men of official
rank are guests. Because Of the dis

whether or not Mrs. Dewey, wife of an
admiral Of the navy, should be given
precedence to Mrs. Miles, the wife Of
