HOW CHoCTAWs HUNT DEER.
Hounds Run Animal to Cover and In
dian Kills It With a Stone.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
A better illustration of the primitive
methods of the Choctaw Indian hunters
could not be given than the following
story. as told by eye-witnesses of the feat:
squad OF huntsmen had been hunting
nearly six hours one day, just before the
first fall OF snow. The mountains and val
leys were covered by heavy frost A deer
which had evidently been shot had just
passed down the mountain and headed for
the creek half h mile below The hunters
Reaching the heavy growth OF brush and
trees which swept the bank of the stream,
they saw a young Indian riding right to-
ward the creek. Several hounds were bay
ing. and when they approached closer they
saw that the dogs had run the deer to
cover. He was a beauty. and presented a
grand sight as he backed into the creek
from the great red rocks, with the pack
OF hungry Indian dogs following him and
barking loudly. The Indian quickly sprang
from his pony and picked up a stone about
the size of base ball. He drew back de-
IIberately. Just like crack base ball pitch
err. and then hurled the stone through the
air.
II struck the deer squarely between the
eyes and down the animal fell In foot OF
water Like cat. Quick Eye, as the In
dian was called, rushed to its side and
pulled the dogs of. The stone had done
renee. the Indian picked up the carcass.
tossed II over his shoulder and carried 1t
TO his horse. after which he rode toward
his home.

and there with orange and marked with
purple black horizontal stripes and blotches.
The rare good fortune of the members OF
the Alexander Costing expedition in coming
across live okapi has been generally fa-
Yorably commented upon In geological cir
cles In Washington, and IL Is regarded as
a feat that will be noted forever in the
annals OF zoology.
Explorer Secures Skin.
A writer in the current issue of Forest
and Stream says: Although rumors of the
existence of the okapi-its native name
had previously come to Europe. 1t was not
until about 1901 that Sir Harry Johnston.
the famous African explorer, succeeded In
securing skin, which was~sent to the Brit
ish Museum.
The okapi is related to the CRATES. but
looks not at all like them Its neck is short
and thick. its head horselike and with three
short horns, and its ground color ranges
from black to reddish chestnut, the legs and
headquarters being white or pale cream
color, striped with black"
1t is said renewed efforts will now be made
to capture an okapi and Ii Is not at all
unlikely that one or more parties especially
designed for that service Will soon make a
protracted trip through the jungies of cen
trail Africa With this purpose in view.
Snake Family at the Zoo.
The snake family at the Zoo has received
several recent additions. The other day DIR.
Baker was offered an option on a mammoth
python by the captain OF freight steamer
from the East Indies but was compelled to
decline the offer Of the great reptile owing
to the lack OF facilities for caring for the
snake. This python was twenty-one feet
in length
The failure of the National Zoo to obtain
the great serpent illustrates the necessity
for reptile house for the park where a
high temperature can be maintained and
other necessary conditions maintained which
are necessary for the proper preservation OF
members of the snake family.
The present arrangements for the care Of
such exhibits are Inadequate even for the
small family of snakes. etc, that Is now
maintained. DIR. Baker says the Zoo fire.

ems. hundreds. even thousands.

writer knows many shabby, detected,
slouching, sinking down-and-out chap
most of them fellows who had a pretty
good start at that, until their midriffs

lolling, sardonic milltonaires who own the
race tracks and the great race horses, paid
for out of the blood-money or the poor
devils who flock through the gates with
wistful hope in their eyes and rot chance
in the world of ever realizing that hope.
It's a pretty swell thing to skim down
to your own race track in S3u0C0 auto

marquee shading box of your own club
house stand, and then, with your fed
glasses, see your own coIors flashing mer-

of waving intield grass, out in front of the
horses possessed by poor owners of inferior
mutts-ftne! There's pageantry. sort of
modern barbaric splendor about it, that
makes it pretty soft and tittfvating for
the people who can enjoy the sport OF

these surroundings.

fellow who sinks down to the track with

Victims of the Sport.

This writer has had an eye upon the
phoniiy so-calied sport OF kings for TWEEN
ty years. but II has not taken anything like
that length OF time to ind out that the
game is one that inevitably leads nine
tenths OF those who become mixed UP with
1t into an utterly hopeless abyss
II is a game that makes virtual slaves
OF men at all stages of life. The elderly
or old man who accidentally becomes in
terested in 1t has no more chance to sue
cessfully fight the insidious microbe known
as the horse bug than the raw youth whose
mental vision is dazzled by the possibility.
