Six Wolves
And A Deer.

A NYONE who has tried to trap
~ or poison a wolf knows that it
~ is an animal of more than ordi-
nary intelligence. However, a
VOLTS knowledge is not limited to
traps and poison, as the following will
show.
Some three years ago the writer was
hunting rabbits in tamarack swamp
in Northern Minnesota with small
calibre rife. It was nearly sundown,
and as 1 was too far from home to
reach there before dark, resolved to
stay at an old logging camp that was
only q quarter of mile away, on the
opposite side Of small lake which
was then frozen over and covered with
enough snow to make good footing.

tion Of logging-road and the lake,

variety and to incur loss by waste and
staleness. He is an economic buyer,
and the ingredients are mostly inexpen-
sive. The excellent quality is produced
by long experience in the art of cook
ing. 1t is much, much work for Mad
anne and her assistant in the kitchen;
but she takes pride in producing the
best possible. They do not get rich in
the business; but it is their best way of
making a living in this country and
they are easily contented, do not mind
hard WORK, and enjoy the company of
their guests. sa.ss,s..assas.sa
Visitors to New York should make
it point to go to these places rather
than to the expensive and fashionable
ones. They will find there congenial
amusement and food for intellectual
thoughts. Most of the guests are people
we'll versed in bellies lettres and in
knowledge of the world, for many of
them have travelled extensively, than
which there is no better educator.
Educated people of many natiOnalities
may be found there. They have come
on pleasure or professional business to
this great land of plenty, of enterprise,
invention and alluring prospects-but
which is also the land of the almighty
dollar and of unbounded egoism. Such
company is at its very best when you
and they have dined and wined we'll
but temperately, and the latter one can
always rely on in these places. Pater
familias are quite safe in bringing
their wives and daughters; for propriety
and good manners are always observed
there.
1t was my intention to include a
description of the Chinese eating houses
of Mott Street and vicinity; but have
not the heart to do it. For hope
and confidently expect that my brilliant
and vivid treatise on French cooking
has not failed to sharpen the appetite
of many Of my readers, and 1 am fal
too good-natured to spoil good thing
like that. I got hungry, too. 1880.

How Pat Studied the Portrait.

Colonel Mike Donahue of the Tenth
New Hampshire was somewhat fond Of
drink. After the war, the Tenth, wish
ing his picture, commissioned an artist
to do the job. After the painting was
finished, the artist, seeing one of the
veterans of the Tenth, an Irishman,
called him in to ask his opinion of the
picture.
The old Irishman walked up to the
easel, scrutinized the picture, and was
about to put his hand on the canvas.
when the artist cried out: "Don't
touch It'll Don't touch It'll It's not dryl"
ssNot dhryl Not dhryl" shouted Pat

when heard the cry of a timber wolf
about q mile away. Soon it was an
swered from the other side of the lake.
In short time heard the unmistak-
able sound of several wolves giving
chase to some animal, which I rightly
guessed was deer, as one wolf is suffi-
cient to capture smaller prey.
The sounds came nearer and nearer,
until suddenly big buck shot over a
brush heap and into the road about FIVE
hundred yards down the slight incline
from where I sat, and headed for the
lake. Iquickly got behind the stump
III aMait prUceadt3gs.
I had just got settled in my hiding
place when the deer went by with two
wolves about five rods behind and two
on either side, which came into sight
as soon as they struck the ice. And
that was where the wolves showed that
they knew the game. The wolves in
the rear seemed to direct the maneu-
vers, while the fanking parties kept
silent and obeyed orders. The two on
the left side fell back short distance,
while the two on the opposite side
seemed to gain a few feet. In that
way they made the deer circle. They
kept the deer circling on the lake
which was quarter of mile wide an
about mile in length-until he had
rOno nnoo ornnnd ond cfo rfoI On on
other round. He was about in the
center of the lake and in plain view of
my hiding place, when he turned to
give battle. The wolves were as quick
to act as the deer was, and no sooner
had he turned than he had six wolves
in circle around him, playing merry
go-round and singing him lovely song.
Now deer can whip dozens of wolves
if he had them all in front of him, but
in the position in which this one found
himself, there was constantly fresh
wolf in the rear taking nip at his
hind legs. In less than minute they
had him hamstrung and down on his
launches. Then they closed on him,
and things happened so quickly that
I could not see how 1T was done. But
came out of my trance and fired three
shots at the bunch, at which the wolves
took to the bush.
then went out where the deer lay
and saw that he had his throat cut and
that he had broken the back of one
wolf, and that 1 had killed another.
The next day we had venison for din
ner without breaking the game law.
