DEER HUNTING IN NORTHWEST.
How Indians Secure Venison for Their
Lar ers.

Lar cTSs
A New Yorker who lives 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 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
THE Indians, to begin with, do not
hunt deer for the pleasure of hunting.
They go for deer as a housekeeper 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, 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 dozen or
ten men split up and take either end Of
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.
which go up, and thus between the
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-
ertion."

The world of
medicine re-
cognizes Grip
as epidemic
Catarrh.-
Medical Talk.

La grippe is epidemic catarrh. 1t
spares no class or nationality. The
cultured and the ignorant. the aristo-
crat and the pauper, the masses and the
classes, are alike subject to la grippe.
None are exempt-all are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? Grip is we'll named.
The original French term, la grippe,
has been shortened by the busy Ameri-
can to read "grip.", Without intend
ing to do 80 a new word has been coined
that exactly describes the case. AS if
some hideous giant with awful grip had
clutched us in its fatal clasp. Men,
