OUR CAPTIVE FAWN|
EXPERIENCES WITH A LITTLE
CREATURE OF THE FOREST.
Ernest Harold Baynes Writes of Its
Many Interesting Traits-Queer
Antics INDUCED In When
at Play.

One morning last May a guide, look
ing from the window of his cottage upor
q broad green slope of the Blue noun
tain forest, saw a white-tailed doe, will
her little spotted fawn. But the fawI
was limping and, as he could not Keep III
with his mother, he bleated pla~intively
and back she came to him, looking hin
over with her large, mild eyes, as though
TO find out why he Jagged behind. Then
the guide saw that one of the slim hind
legs was broken just above the ankle
and, fearing that the helpless youngsteI
might falls victim to a fox or a wildcat.
he captured it and Brought it in. 1t took
readily to a baby's bottle, and for many
days he kept it in a box where it could
neither run nor jump. 1t was a sensible
little creature, and kept it's injured limb
well off the ground, and as the leg hung
straight down the ends of the broken
bone soon knit and the fawn was able
to touch his little black hoof to the floor.
Then it was that his benefactor, hold
ing him tight in his arms, drove five
miles across the mountains and turned
the baby over to me. The little thing
limped badly when he was set down on
the barn floor, but We gave him a soft
bed of hay in one of the stalls, and he
soon lay down to rest. When he got up
again he seemed better, and, as he was
hungry, he let us know it by bleating
very gently and by looking toward us
eagerly with his big, soft brown eyes.
When l held the bottle out to him he
knew at once that his food was there,
but as he took the nipple in his mouth
he instinctively punched me with his
hard little head, just as he would have
punched his mother had he been taking
his dinner with her. After drinking a
pint of milk he nibbled a few bits OF
grass and lay down 20 rest again.
He was a wonderfully beautiful crea-
ture. His glossy coat vas reddish-brown
in color, with striking white spots on
the neck, back and sides. His legs,

Ex-JUsTIcE DIES AT DESK.
William l.. Learned of Albany n Vic
tim of Heart Failure.


ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 21.-Former
Supreme Court Justice William L.
Learned, for many years the presiding
Justice of the former general term for
the Third judicial district, was found
dead while seated at his desk in his
law office. Although eighty-three years
of age, Judge Learned had kept up his
active professional practice and was
apparently in the best of health when
he arrived from Selkirk, his summer
home, Il few miles from this city.
When discovered he had been dead
for an hour, and the end was probably
due to heart failure. Judge Learned
was born in New London, Conn, and
graduated from Yale college in 1871.
He settled in Albany and in 1870 was
appointed by Governor Hoffman Il jus
tice of the supreme court to fill the
vacancy caused by the elevation of
Justice Rufus w. Peckham, father of
Judge Peckham Of the United States
supreme court, to the court of appeals
bench. He was afterward elected for
two successive terms and only retired
in 1892 because of the age limitation.
He was a lifelong Democrat. He was
actively identified with the education
al interests of Albany.

STORY OF A VVLTM
NATURALIST TRIES HARD TO
LOSE A TURKEY PuzzARD.
Had Tasted the Refnenfents Of Civ
ilized Life and Refused to Go
Back to It's Old Haunts
and Ways

Readers of this series may possibly
remember Isaac" the young turkey
villture which / brought from the
south about a year ago, and which
weathered the winter at my orme
home in Massachusetts. When l was
about to move K Newport, N. H., | de-
cided TO liberate q number of the AMI
mails which | had in captivity, and
whose behavior l did not intend to
study any furthtr. Isaac was one of
these. but as | knew that he was tame
enough to become a victim OF the first
gunner who choose to slaughter him, l
thought l would take him with me to
a wilder country, where his chance Tor
life would be better. So | Grated him,
and sent him along by express. Now,
Isaac vas never a very good-naturea
bird under any circumstances, a
moving by express was an institution
which did not meet with his approval
n the least degree. The local express
man understood this when he felt his
hand nipped as by a pair of pincers,
and looked down to see Isaac's bin

crate. With eyes flashing angRly, the
buzzard twisted his head from side to
side, in an endeavor to. bite toMt the
piece, and the man dropped the crate
and sucked his hand while thal, crate
and its contents turned several kinds
of somesaults down a long roekyihill.
After his arrival here Isaac was kept
tethered by a long string1toi ayperch
on the edge of some woods mean the
houst, and after he had become some
what used to the place, j took the
strap from his leg and away he flew.
He sailed around for a few minutes
and then, dropping down, alighted on
our barn, where he preened his fea-
theirs as calmly as though it were
nothing new for him to be at liberty.
Thcn off he went to a farm house about
half a mile away, where he stayed for
a few days, eating fish-heads and 9th

Says Its Re-estnblishmcnt Would
Improve Discipline.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The an
nual report of Major General Corbin.
commanding the department of the
east, favors the establishment of
the army cantecn. On this point Gen
eral Corbin says:
IF it We're possible by my act to alb
solutely stop the manufacture and use
of Intoxicating drinks of any kind
would do so, if it were possible by my
act to prevent the use by any persons
in the military service of intoxicating
drinks / would do so; but, realizing
that the impossible, however desirable,
must give way to what is possible and
practicable, | am firmly of the opinion
that it would be in the interest of dis
cipline to re-establish the canteen fea-
ture of the post exchange, recognizing
that in this way the use of drink can
be minimized."

which were lighter in color, were slen-
der, sinewy and graceful, M of them
being marred by a bunch of hard tissue
around the point of fracture. But his
head was his most beautiful feature,
after all. His great gentle eyes were full
of expression and, in combination with
the large, shapely ears, which moved
back and forth in response to every
sound, showed pleasure, excitement,
fear and other emotions, almost as plain-
~ as a human face could show them.
His disposition was affectionate, and
he never tired of licking ones face and
hands when he got the chance. making
them feel as though they had received a
coat Of glue.
OF course, | was prepared to believe
that the white spots on his otherwise
brown coat were there for some good
purpose. but they looked so conspicu-
Gus as he stood in the barn that could
scarcely believe that they were part of
a scheme of protective coloration. But
one day. after his leg was we'll enough
to permit him to run about a bit, | took
him out into the fields. One of these
fields was abloom with oxeye daisies.
and as the fawn stood among them they
at once suggested a reason for the spots
upon his coat. / half closed my eyes.
and there was no fawn at all; he was a
patch of white flowers, like hundreds of
similar patches in the same field. Since
myriads of daisies and other white flow
ers are blooming at a time when a fawn
is young and helpless. it seems that Ma
ture seeks to protect 1t from its enemies
by making it resemble a patch of these
flowers. I took a photograph of my
fawn in the daisy field. and the result
was very interesting. The legs and body
of the little creature melt away into the
grass. while the white spots stand out
conspicuous, like the daisies which sur
round them.
In front of the stall in which l kept
the fawn I placed a barrier four feet
high, and to my establishment, a few
days aftCa' his leg was well, he leaped
right over it from a standstill, and
alighted on the floor of the barn. And
yet perhaps this is not to be wondered
at when We consider that his father or
mother, hard pressed, could clear a
height of from eight to nine feet, and pos
sibly more.
Every evening we take the deer out
for a run oyer the hills, using a bot
tie of milk to coax him back to the
barn after he has had his exercise.
Sometimes it looks as though we had
seen the last of him, as he disappears
going at full speed over the brow of a
hill perhaps half a mile away. Then
some one shouts: Here he comes!"
and we see him coming. like a brown
streak, tail up and ears laid back. ris-
ing like a bird at every rock and bush
in his path, checking his speed as he APP
proaches us and hrealzing into a brisk.
elastic trot, which nothing but a deer
can initiate.

The second session of the convention

one which he thought would be put
through:
Governor Edward NJ. Grout of

STOKES FOR
GOVERNOR.
Republicans Named Him at
Convention in Trenton
Yesterday.

TRENTON, n. j., Sept. 21.-In a
state convention that was both en-.
thusiastic and harmonious the Repub-
leans of New Jersey nominated for
mer State Senator Edward c. Stokes
of Cumberland county for the the gov
ernorship. The nomination was made
by acclamation after nomination
speeches had been made by Senator
Minch of Cumberland, Prosecutor
Speer of Hudson and Ex-Governor Eos
ter NJ. Voorhees, of Union. Mr.. Stokes,
who had been i'll, appeared in the ION.
vention after his nomination had been
made and accepted the nomination in
a speech that was well received. Mr..
Stokes was vigorously cheered as he
assembled the platform.
Contrary to expectation, the platform
was adopted without the slightest oh.
lection from Hudson county. The Hild'
son delegates had made it clear that
platform as ii had been drawn, but
they contented themselves with stat.
ing their position before the commit.
tee on resolutions. This they did with
out avail. The platform adopted pro.
vides for the taxation of second class
railroad property at local rates. This
would add about 100000 to the ST.
100000 of taxes paid annually by the
railroads in this state. OF the $780,.
600 increase Jersey City alone would
receive about $4,000. This is due
to the fact that so much second class
railroad property is located in that city.
Second class railroad property is prop
erty used for railroad purposes that is
outside of the main line or main
stem,'' as it is described in the law.
Besides nominating the candidate fol
governor the convention named two
electors ut large and ten district cleo
tors.
The nominations for presidential
electors follow:
At large, L. Ii. McCarter of Essex,
Washington A. Roebling of Mercer;
First district. Howard NJ. Cooper of
Camden; Second, Lewis Il. Stevens of
Cape May; Third, Lewis S. Thompson

err refuse that was thrown to him, and
then he disappeared, and l was afraid
he had gone the way of all flesh. Then
anne a telephone message to the eff
fsct that a large bird, doubtless a
very valuable one said to belong to
me, was stopping at a farm house
about five miles away, and that If 1
wanted him l had better send for him
soon, as two gunners had already fred
at him, mistaking him for a hen-hawk.
| did not want the bird, but did not
wish him to be shot, so | walked over
to see what could be DONE,

er's wife. Upon asking for Isaac" I
learned that he was probably in the
chicken coop eating the fresh eggs;
he had eaten nearly all the fresh eggs
for a week past, she said. The dam
age? Nothing. They had been interest
ed In watching the bird and in, letting
him take whatever he facied,d but,
since | had come for him., Why they
would not be at all sorry to see him
depart. ,a.U
We found Isaac in the barn-yard,
under a cart-shed in the shade. look
ing very well fed and contented. He
allowed me to catch him; andi putting
him into a sack l carried him home.
and let him go in the fields near the
house. Hereford and water we're
placed for him, and he remained for
several days. He might have been
there yet had not some tourists with

ture. of the ''eagle," chasing the bird
from rock to f%ence-post and from
fence-post to tree, and Isaac" became
thoroughly Disguised and flew clean
away.
ala not see him for several days af-
ter that, but one morning last week
walked down to a camp in the wnods
not far from here, and there stood tho
puzzard, on the porch. He had arrived
very hungry, l was told, but for tvs
days had steadily refused ginger-snaps
at which | was not very much sur-
prlsed. Then, n evening, as some
meat was thrown put to the dog tha
vulture had pounced upon it with ,sncn
emphasis as to make it evident that
glRger-snaps were not what he had
been looking for. After that. they fold
me, b bird had haunted the camb
and could not be driven away. He
stole the dogs food, drove the little
boy into the house when he went ot,s.
to play, and that very morning he had
made a determined attempt to ssarn-
ple' the baby. After that he had been
"swatted" with the broom, but. as I
could see for myself, there he was
again.
Altogether I have grave fears for
lsaac's health. If he can control him
self until cool weather, and then iour-
ney to the south. where vuitures are
appreciated all may yet go well with
him; but if, as I fear. he continues a
devote his life to stealing fresh eeea
