While the other members OF the
camp were away on long drive. Pete,
finding things slow in camp, decided
to do little hunting on his own hook.
Back of the Hinkle farm he jumped
a large buck and fired shot which
made flesh wound. The angry deer,
lowering its prongs, made for Pete,
who dropped his rifle and climbed the
nearest tree.
The deer paved at the tree, snort

fine joke unit, night began to draw
near with the buck still on guard
Pete yelled for help, but his cries
only echoed through the ravines. It
was very cold, and the hunter found
that it would not be long until he
would release his hold on the branches
and fall to the ground.
A desperate plan was determined
upon. Pete weighs close to $50 pounds,
and when the buck, walking around
the tree, was directly beneath him, the
hunter dOub ed himself up like ball
and dropped.
He landed right on the bucks back,

Within FIVE years the country will
see one-half the leading railroads in
the hands Of receivers unless there is
a radical change in affairs soon. The
drastic rate laws OF many states,
coupled with the increased cost of
operating expenses and the higher
wages demanded by trainmen, will
make it impossible for the railroads
A to earn snsfcisnts n ssiS.sy..t ~ pay disi-
dends on the vast volume OF watcred
stock they have outstanding, and they
will be forced into bankruptcy, says
Lamar Sparks. The railroads have
themselves to blame largely for the
tribulations that come to them per-
iodically, and the worst OF it is that
they never learn by experience. The
revelations of robbery and spoilition
in the Hartman case reused the peo-
pie to an unreasoning frenzy, and in
the face OF public opinion the politi-
clans upon whom the railroads show
er favors and rely for aid are pow
erless. The first rctaliatory move of
the railroads was against the power
which built up their legitimate bust
ness, and which has more influence
with the people than all the politi
clans of the land. The press of the
nation will regret the decentralization
of business which will follow the in
evitable railroad crash, and will be
mildly and respectfully sorry for the
railroads.
