Real Moroccans,

Moor and Morocco are words I'M
known to the people of that troubled
land. These people know themselves
as Arabs and descendants of those
valiant upholders of the prophets
green standard who swept like flood
across North Africa at the time of
the hegira. The Morocco of the pres
ent day they found possessed by a
sturdy race who claimed descent from
the people who were cast out of Ca
naaan by Joshua, the son of Nun.
Their country, so far as its plains
were concerned, was taken from them
by the Arabs, and their fighting
strength was made to serve the Arab
cause in the conquest of Spain. They
themselves gradually took to the
mountains, to the great Atlas. Here
they have remained ever since, speak
ing their own language, maintaining
their own customs and racial attri-
butes, and obstinately refusing to be
absorbed by the Arab jewellers on the
plains. These people are the Berbers;
their tongue is called Shilhah. Liter
AZURE they have none, in the ordinary
sense of the word. But they have a
rich store of oral tradition, myth, le-
gend and folklore.

BROKE THE DEER's BACK.
How freed Hunter Escaped From
Threatened Death.

Peter Rindernecht, of Camp Bailey,
Pa, is still talking of his narrow es-
cape from an Infatuated deer, which
he finally killed in an unusual man
ner.
While the other members of the
camp were away on a long drive, Pete,
finding things slow in camp, decided
to do a little hunting on his own hook.
Back of the Hinkle farm he jumped
large buck and fired a shot which
made flesh wound The angry deer,
lowering its prongs, made for Pete,
who dropped his rifle and climbed the
nearest tree.
ing with rage, and Pete thought it a
fine joke until 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 doubled himself up like a ball
and dropped.
He landed right on the bucks back,
breaking its spinal column and
Gripping it so that the work of killing
1t with his hunting knife was easy.
