Had not the mother mouse become
too envious the t1iplets might have
thrived until big enough to earn their
own living. With CONSERVATION the

the telephone booth, apparently try

Undaunted, three times the mouse

ator to flight. A score of men coming
to the rescue, wise Mrs. Mouse
skipped upstairs.

Then a search was begun. The last

Kept Peace With Indians

"Well, sir, you should have seen
that sergeant's face when he saw
those Rappahoes. No sooner had we
unsaddled when about twenty of those
bucks walked over to us. They were
awfully arrogant and carried rifles.
Said they to Brannigan, Grub That

"And, do you know, that Brannigan

All Have Their MaSC0tS

From the musical profession to the
race course is rather a far cry, but it
may not be out of place to mention
here the curious luck-bringer carried
by Sam Loates, the famous jockey. 1t
consists of an ordinary smoked pearl
button, without which he never rides
a race. This pearl button saved the
life of Mr.. Loates when he was a
child by catching in the upholstery OF
a railway carriage door which had
not been properly fastened, and thus
preventing him railing on to the line.
Since then the jockey has come to
believe that the button has an tnfiu-
ence for good over all his fortunes.
Quite number of our leading
actresses firmly believe that their
success in piece depends to GER
tain extent on peculiar mascots which
they invariably carry. Miss Violet
Vanbrugh always wears long chain
of uncut turquoises on the stage.
while Mrs. Langtry never feels COM
Portable unless she carries a tur-
quoise on which Persian love letter
is engraved. Mrs. Langtry, it is said,

While astonished postofice officials
stood around calculating, "Well, we'll,
WE'LL" in the, switch box of the busy
telephone exchange in the BROOKLYN
postoffice litter of lively mice was
discovered last evening.
All around the little fellows were
busy wires, there being altogether
twenty-three connections in their
quaint birthplace, but, barring a
burned mark on the tail of one OF the
trpilets, they did not seem to have
suffered any inconvenience, and they
objected in ting-a-ling, phone like
squeak when persuaded to vacate. -
Meantime the fair operator had re-
treated to the stair, and women GUS
toners at the stamp windows gath
cred up their skirts and fed to the
street. Watchmen and shoeblacks
became heroes, and by deadly blows
saved the women from further fright.
How the mother mouse ever got
into the switch box is mystery, for
there is neither hole nor crack in 1t.
1t is always kept locked.
The nest had been arranged with
unusual care, the outside being CON-
posed of pieces Of coarse paper, while
the inside consisted of bits of the soft
est and flimsiest papers in the post

Capt. Charles H. Martin, of the 18th
United States Infantry, relates the
following: ION the return march
from Pekin and while approaching
Hohsiwoo the column of the 14th
United States infantry one evening
was overtaken by Russian officer
of high rank in his three-horse buck
board, driven by his orderly. At the
time the rear battalion of the regi'
ment,- temporarily commanded by N.Y.
self, was entering a defile, bordered on
each side by low, swampy ground, the
road just being wide enough to &C"
commodate the column. I suddenly
heard a loud shout, Watch out, cap
tain! Watch out!' but before l could
even turn my head found my horse
on his knees, with the . Russians
horses on top of us. After extricating
ourselves, l found that the Russian,
seeing the narrow road before him
and not proposing to be delayed by
our column, had deliberately plunged
into us, regardless of consequences.
"The temporary check which he had
received by my being in the way
seemed. to infuriate the officer and
with violent gesticulations he ordered
his orderly to drive on. Two enlisted
men nearest us held his horses heads.

Tax Skill of Hunter

and tearing of underbrush and by
the time you get your gun to your
face the deer will be somewhere over
in the next county.
They do not range high on tho
mountain, and most hunters will tell
you that the best deer hunting is after
the first heavy snow in the fall, when
the deer come down into the higher
foothills to get the new grasses
brought out by the rains that usually
accompany these early SHOWS.
With the black tail, the least COM
mon deer of this section, everything is
different. Look for him in the open
meadows of the mountains, where the
pines wall in little valleys all clothed
in tall grasses. There the smaller
and darker deer moves on velvet
hoofs noiselessly, and, seeing you,
vanishes silently or with a low snort,
seeking rather to escape by stealth
than by speed. On the level and In
the open the black tail is swift
enough runner to try the aim of any
rifleman, but in the piney woods he
can be almost as silent as mountain
lion. The best way to hunt this deer
is to take him at his own game and
stalk him. Armed with light rifle,
for stalking a black tail is an all-day
job of hard walking, the hunter slips
from tree to tree through the deer
country, watching every clump OF
brush, seeing every leaf that moves,
prepared at all times to swing the
rifle on a shtdowy, half-seen form
slipping away through the dim re.
cesseS of the woods.

man who has been able to bring down
three of these fine deer in all his
hunting experience.
Go into the nearby mountains, and
in the canon bottoms, you will see
countless tracks of his majesty the
Virginia deer, the white tail' of east
ern states, and called just deer in
southern California. But to see these
tracks does not by any means assure
the hunter a shot at one of these
magnificent animals, for not only is
the white tail the largest Of the true
deer of North America, but he also
has reputation as the best hider of
all game animals. By nature fond of
thick cover, he usually spends most
of the time in the depths of some
well-wooded canon-a bushy river
bottom full of briers and under
growth is an ideal spot to look for
him, and an ideal spot to miss a run
ming shot as we'll. And that is about
all the chance you will get at the
white tail, too, unless you can stalk
him-an almost impossible feat, by
the way. One of these deer will lie
securely hidden until the hunter,
watching the middle distance instead
of his feet, almost falls over him.

Among men and women who have
won name and fame in professional
life quite number are to be found
who believe in the supernatural pow
err of some curious talisman which
they possess. Sarasate, the famous
Spanish violinist, for instance, would
not dream of playing at a concert un-
less he carried somewhere about his
person a tiny replica in silver of the
famous Guarnerius violin on which
Paganini used to play.
Paderewski, the famous pianist,
also possesses a mascot which is
always with him in the shape of a
ring once worn by his first wife. Most
people are doubtless aware of the sad
story of Paderewski's first marriage,
how his wife died in giving birth to
a son just as the pianist was on the
threshold of success, and how the
world would probably never have
heard of him had not the necessity of
providing for his son compelled the
musician to continue his professional
career. Paderewski does not wear
the ring on his finger. It rests in a
tiny pocket inside his waistcoat and
is attached to fine gold chain which
encircles the pianist's neck.

the Rev. Roland D. Sawyer of Massa

the earth, in the hope that he will
raise the morals of mankind by abol-

ton, N. H., and inherited the lot of the
average New England country boy. He
worked, went to the, common schools
of the town, and later to the high
school at Exeter, walking to and from
school each daylight miles. He left
school to work on the farm, and in
the Shoe shop he did his share, and
was probably no worse than his town:
mates.
In the summer of 1894 there came
to town a young preacher, and the
boy, was converted to religion. When
he cast about in his mind to see what
the onus of sin was which: had sud-
denly been removed he could find
nothing but profanity.

But the conversion was genuine.

the ministry. He graduated with his
class in 1889 and was at once called
to be associate pastor of the South
Congregationalist Church in Brock:
ton.
One of Mr.. Sawyer's best marked
characteristics is PERSONAL initiative.
He went home to Kensington and
found an old church out of use. He
persuaded the trustees to allow him to
hold meetings there.
It may have been remembrance OF
his own sin, tbut the first thing he did
was to formulate simple pledge not
to use profanity, and he got several
