But few men exhibit their bravery

A noteworthy feature of the Durbar.
at Delhi, was the splendid exhibition
of Eastern art. When such an exhibi-
tion is held in the Western World the
individual artist is conspicuous in the
fact that each example bears the name
of the producer. In this Delhi exhibi-
tion, on the contrary, it was the coun-
try, not the individual. that had the
honor. 1t was shawls from Cashmere,
rugs from Anatolia, brasses from Per-
sia, worries from Siam, faience from
Japan, pottery, silks and embroideries
from China, and lockwood carving and
jewel work from India, all representing
centuries Of cultivated taste in form
and color, and years of toll, where art

A whaler signalled the cutter for

had had q foot smashed some weeks
before by a hogshead of whale oil

The injured member was in n terri

suffering intensely, although he gave
no outward sign.
When the captain asked the doctor
what could be done. the latter started
to tell him in confidence. At that the
sailor spoke up:

"Well, my man." responded DR..

RIDE ON A WOUNDED DEER.


Jesse Abbott, middle-aged man and
a hunter of many years experience,
Of North Sullivan, Me-, had an exciting
adventure in the woods recently. He
was out hunting deer and came upon
big buck.
His first shot tumbled the animal
over and Mr.. Abbott supposed that he
had killed the deer. Rushing forward,
he cut the throat Of his prize and left
him while he went in search of more
game. He had only taken few steps
when he heard q noise and was aston
lshed to see the deer come dashlng
down upon him.
He had not time to use bis rifle, be-
Ing barely able to spring to one side,
and then, Just as the buck dashed past,
to spring upon the deer's back. He se-
cured firm hold upon the infuriated
animals neck and chung on.
A fierce struggle followed. The
beast used every tactic at its command
to dislodge its unwelcome burden.
while the man made determined ef-
fort to draw mis- hunting knife, Over
fallen trees and through thick brush
they went for nearly mile The
hunters clothing was torn to shreds
and his body was lacerated and
bruised, but he clung OF.
At last, just as the knife came from
the sheath the deer succeeded in break
ing Abbotts hold and throwing him
| from It's back As he felt himself co.
ing the man made one wild slash with
| his knife. 1t was his only chance and
he took it. 1t proved to be a lucky
chance, for the steel reached vital
| spot and the animal dropped dead. 1t
was splendid buck, weighing 3141A
pounds, which is the record for Maine
this year. The bullet which first
brought the deer down struck him on
the horns and evidently stunned him.
while the first knife-wound was not
sufficiently deep to reach vital spot.

POLITE ROBBERS.

mail stage from Coosbay to Roseburg

the stage and line up. While one of
the robbers stood guard with rife
the other received the money and val
uables from the passengers.
H. H. Scovel of San Francisco, who
had considerable money taken from
him, protested against having his en-

A New ParIor Game.

A descriptive party" is new
diversion. 1t serves to amuse almost
any number of persons and to call
forth originality and cleverness. The
game consists in the hostess dis
tributing pads Of paper and pencils,
and instructing the players to write
a short character sketch of any per-
son in the room, mentioning no
names The articles are then read
aloud, and endless fun is caused by
the attempts to identify the subject
of the sketch.
The amusement affords a field for
verse as well as prose, and It is var
led by having those who can't draw
at all make alleged sketches of the
victim they have in mind. 1t might
be thought these pictures would
throw no light on the identity of the
subject, but it will be found that the
artist often will put in some striking
adjunct to the picture that will make
it effective for the discovery of the
victim.
