DEER HUNTING IN NORTHWEST.
How Indians Secure Venison for Their
LarIers.

How Indians Secure Venison for Their
LarJers.
A New Yorker who lives a small frac-
ton of the time In the city, being usual
ly long distances away in pursuit of
game, tells the method pursued by the
Indians of British Columbia in taking
deer, says a writer in the New York
Tribune. They have evolved a system,
this huntsman says, that shows prac-
teal 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 20 for deer as a h~ousekeeper goes
to market for beef. And, what's more,
In British Columbia, at any rate, they
don't go often. Salmon are plentiful
In the rivers and easily caught. So
why chase animals when they can Sc
cure fish? 1t Is something as 1t is In
Newfoundland, where l went a couple
of seasons ago. There the prevailing
fish, you might say, Is cod. And.
though there is no end to the variety of
edible fish that can be taken, the ma
tives never think of eating anything
else. Cod is plentiful, and they form
the habit, l suppose. This Is so in
grained that they call Goldfish, fish"
simply. The genus is divided into cod
and the rest of fish.
well, when the British Columbia In
dian makes up his mind for venison he
goes at 1t Systematically and without
sentiment. A group Of half a dozen or
ten men split up and take either end of
n valley. Then they proceed along the
mountain slope from the two ends to
the center. They choose the sheltered
side of the valley. which the deer seek
to escape the wind. Each party covers
the mountain side, some near the foot
and some at the top, and others be-
tween the line, keeping abreast by an
Initiated owl boot. The deer on wind
ing pursuit have a trick of leaping
away down the slope, unlike the goats.

two approaching parties they are
swept together at the middle Of the val.
ley. A good-sized herd will thus be
killed off and the Indians supplied for
many weeks by two or three days. ex.

WANTED THE CHEST AND GOT IT.
Trials of a Detroit Man Who Thought
He'd Cut His Wisdom Teeth.

81 thought 1 had cut my wisdom
teeth a good. many years ago." said a
Detroiter the other day, "but a little
thing happened in Chicago the last
week to make me doubt it. In wander
ing about l entered an auction-room on
State street, while some family eff
fects,' as the auctioneer termed them,
were being sold. There was one old
chest which caught my eye, as it ap-
peared to be of ancient make, and
must have knocked about a good bit.
l looked into 1t to find a lot Of deeds
and bonds, and my curiosity was at
once aroused. Who could tell what
wealth that old chest might hold. If
nothing more, there must be deeds to
at least 1000 acres of land in Califor-
MIA. 1 was saving wood and saying
nothing, but expecting to bid on that
trunk, when a man beckoned me aside
and said:
81 hope you won't bid against me
on that chest. The family owed me
a debt Of 500, and perhaps the con-
tents will help me to get, even.'
Il didn't say whether 1 would or
not, and he continued:
eff you'll stand clear and let me
bid it in I'll make you a present Of
$25 in cash.
THAT was enough for me-" contin-
ued the story teller with a long-drawn
sigh. 81 shook the man OF and start
ed the bidding at So. He looked re-
p~roachfully at me and went a dollar
better. We had the bidding all to our
selves and the auctioneer sized me up
as a nan who lever let 60 Of a good
thing and encouraged me from time
to time. 1 thought l had the other fell
low downed several times, but he came
back at me, and the result was that
the chest was knocked down to me for
$50. | hired a cab and had it driven to
my hotel with me and lost no time in
going through It,"
"And the deeds and bondsr' was
asked.
"Just 10pounds altogether, and worth
a cent a pound! 1t was a plant of
course. They were looking for a suck
er, and they found one"
But you-you-"
"Oh, you try to make out that I'm
not the biggest ass in the world, but
If you'll take the trouble to go up
to my house my wife will soon con-
vince you that I lead the procession.

eyes were wide open all the time!"-

Mrs. Wycherley lived for many years
to flourish on the annuity she owed to
anything but her husbands love.
The wife Of a merchant named Bern
stein had brought with her a large for
tune, and when she died she left every
thing to her husband, On condition that
he never married again. If he did, all
the money was to pass out of his pos
session. There was no doubt that Mrs.
Bernstein had intended that, on such a
contingency, all should go to her three
children-two sons and a daughter;
but, in consequence of the clumsy
drawing up of the will, this all-import-
ant point was left very doubtful.
His sons and daughters, when they
grew up, knew this, but had no fears
that they themselves would inherit all
in due course They were so sore, in
deed, that they forgot to be prudent.
They all had social ambitions, and the
continued presence of the shabby,
misery, blear-eyed old man on the
scene was rather. trying to them.
The end Of 1t was that one night,
when his undutiful offspring were CIV

They heard no more of him until he
was dead, and then found that he had
married a poor widow and died a beg

The chief witnesses against him were

lie seemed an entirely changed charac-
t~er-penitent, humble and hard-work-
ing. He visited old Rogers, who trem-
bled violently with fear until the ex-
convict held out a friendly hand, and
to Mary Rogers herself he was more
than civil. So patient and dexterous
was he that at last the girl consented
to become his wife.
They were duly married, and he took
her home. She was disturbed by his

in Dunedin for many years, and she
was his devoted wife; while he was

Maclean had brooded over his revenge,
