ANXIOUS ABOUT THE DEER
Adirondack Guides Hope the Coming
Winter Will Not Be Like the Last.
Every Suite must 60. We need the room

From the New York Sun.
Adirondack guides and the sportsmen who
hunt In the North woods are hoping that
the coming winter will not be so hard on
the deer as the last two seasons have been
One of the guides in the Big Moose dis
trict said last summer that a third of all
the deer in that part OF the AdIrondacks
mad died of exposure and starvation during
the last two years. A Saranac guide. who
had been up in the northwest part of the
region during the winter, said that half the
deer there had died.
This was probably an exaggeraaon
though there is no doubt that the loss was
great. Man after man will tell you of pass
ing anywhere from two or three to seven or
eight DEAD animals In a single days cross
ing from one point to another.
II may seem strange TO speak OF deer
dying from exposure, but that. added IN
their weakened condition due TO lacl, of
food, was actually what killed hundreds of
them.

things which they can find under the snow

eat an the hemlock shoots within reach OF
the ground: After that they starve At
any rate. they become so weak that they
cannot Dear what comes next
A year ago Ii was no uncommon thing
for guides to see several deer together
each with saddle OF snow on It's back The
snow cakes must have been there some
time, but the animals had reached so low
an ebb of vitality that there was not
enough warmth in their bodies to melt the
snow.
There were heavy snowfalls during these
trying seasons. but they were almost i'm
mediately followed by a violent thaw or
pouring rain, which In its turn was followed
by sharp freeze.
All through the Adirondacks guides at
tempted to save the deer. They feIled hem
locks so that the animals could browse
on the branches which had been ont of
their reach. They even scattered grain
where deer were in the habit of passing.
AT Big Moose Lake when deer were seen
coming along the ice men would go out
with sack OF grain and scatter IL across
the course the animals were taking then
get back out of the way.
In spite of these efforts the deer died by
scores. A. man came into Big Moose one
day, having walked across from one Of the
logging camps and said that he had passed
one bunch of seven deer and he doubted IL
any of them lived through the day. 1t
was that way all through the mountains
SO that 1t is small wonder that considerable
anxiety is felt that the coming season
should be favorable one for the herds.

a sheepfold-s the name of the country es-
tate owned by family named Sherman.
Other examples of this same way of identi-
tying the country home are "Bellholme,"
''Mooremead' and "Greenfields."
There are nowadays many halls and
"manors," and ''house" has lately become
very common. The great trouble with the
last word is the suggestion of a hotel or
perhaps even boarding house.
But many of the handsomest places near
the city are nevertheless designated in that
way. Crosby House" sounds little like a
hotel. and yet it suggests Hatfield House"
and other places of equal fame.

grandeur of the establishment to which 1t is
applied. Nobody would ever think of call
ing any home a court unless it were really
magnificent. 'Ochre Court and Georgian
Court" are good illustrations of this.

Making It Worse.
From Harper's Weekly.


Bliss Carman, the poet, tells OF an incl
dent In which the actors were friends of
his In Boston. The Boston man is OF an
excitable temperament and easily ratified.
and his wife is OF q similar disposition and
prone to give way to tears on the slightest
provocatlon.
Once when the pair were visiting a GER
tain resort near the Springfield river they
went out fer Jaunt in the woods. In some
way the man fell into a small stream and
as he was not swimmer he found himself
in considerable difficulty. Fortunately, how
ever, the stream was not Deep and the
Bostonian soon discovered that, with due
caution. he could walk in to the bank. All
the same. he was dreadfully ratified by his
predicament and was slipping and founder
ing In the mud to a distressing extent The
wife. who from the outset exhibited signs
of hysteria. fell half fainting on q log on
the bank overlooking the stream. When she
perceived the trouble her husband was hav-
ing to wade out she gave vent to q torrent
of tears right into the stream. At this
the unfortunate man evinced fresh evidence
of the rattles." Looking up at his weep
ing wife above him, he managed to gasp
out:
For heavens sake stop weeping into
the river or am lost It's deep enough

81 am sure that the administration and
the American public in general are not
aware of the grievances and if you care to
show 1t to the President or to some Of the
high officials of the administration you will
be doing a good service to the cause of
justice and humanity.
II am glad to hear that your city Is
growing more rapidly than ever. I should
be very glad to revisit your capital and
see my old friends again. but the chances
are remote, certainly not as resident min

with my life and was wounded on the head
and bled profusely. My head is healing
now. but my hearing is impaired by the

motive for this diabolical plot. but some
people believe ii was the act of some ruff
fans who were enraged at the issue of the
imperial edict prohibiting the boycotting
of American goods, and at the measures
taken against the boycott by the authori-
ties.
Hoping that this will find you all well,
