Sa-1a1414SzH425~ men who follow them,
and they should be encouraged in
every way. Long after the refeman,
as we'll as the game he hunts shall
have vanished from the plains. the
cattle country will afford fine sport in
coursing hares; and both wolves and
deer could be followed and killed with
packs of properly-trained hounds, and
such sport would be even more eXcit-
ing than still-hunting with the rifle.
1t is on the great plains lying west of
the Missouri that riding to hounds will
in the end receive its fullest develop
ment as national pastime.
But at present it is almost unknown
in the cattle country; and the ranch
man who loves sport must try still
hunting-and by still-hunting is meant
pretty much every kind of chase where
q single man, unaided by dog, and
almost always on foot, outgenerals
deer and kills it with the rifle. To do
this successfully, unless deer are very
plenty and tame, implies certain
knowledge of the country, and good
knowledge of the habits of the game.
The hunter must keep a sharp lookout
for deer sign; for. though man soon
gets to have a general knowledge of
the kind of places in which deer are
likely to be, yet he will also find that
they are either very capricious, or else
that no man has more than partial
understanding of their tastes and lik-
ings; for many spots apparently just
suited to them will be almost uninhab-
tied, while in others they will be found
where it would hardly occur to any
one to suspect their presence. Any
cause may temporarily drive deer out
of a given locality. Still-hunting, es-
pecially, is sure to send many away,
while rendering the others extremely
wild and shy. and where deer have be-
come used to being pursued in only
one way, it is often an excellent plan
to try some entirely different method
A certain knowledge of how to track
deer is very useful. To become really
skillful tracker is most difficult; and
there are some kinds of ground, where
for instance it is very hard and dry
or frozen solid, on -'hich almost any
man will be at fault. But any one with
little practice can learn to do GER
tain amount of tracking. On snow, OF
course, it is very easy; but on the Other
hand it is also peculiarly difficult tC

ground is white. After deer have beer
frightened once or twice, or have ever
merely been disturbed by man, they
get the habit of keeping q watch bacl

ASLEEP UNDER WATER.
One of the Funny Incidents Possible
in Divers Life.

AS showing how much at home a
man may be to-day under water |
may relate an amusing story. Some
months ago. while the great battle
ship DreadnOught was at Malta. one
of the seaman divers went down to
clear her propeller from some tiot
sam that had become entangled. an;i
ha failed to come up. 1t chanced
that the rest Of the battleship's div

was telt on the ironclad for the miss

and lifeline were sent below, with

ders went on. but the attendants

fearing some strange tragedy deep
down in those heaving green seas.
The worst was feared when some
big brushes and other tools came
floating to the surface, and there
on the navigating lieutenant sent
ashore an urgent message for one
of the other divers. The man came
on board. dressed Immediately. and
went below, only to come up full of
indignation.
why, that fellows been asleep
all this time!' he said, wrathfully.
1t was true: The man had just had
his lunch, and finding the work much
less serious than he had thought. he
finished it in few minutes and then
sat comfortably on one of the giant
blades of the Dreadnought's propell-
er and went to sleep, with inquisi-
tive fishes swarming around him, at
tracted by the dazzling searchlight
on his breast. The officers were so
amused at the occurrence that no
punishment was inflicted on the lazy

Selling to Americans in Paris.

Grace Margaret Gould. the Fash
ion Editor of Woman's Home Com
panion. tells in the September num-
Der, some of the ways the Partisan
dressmaking establishments sell
their goods to American women.
Here is one ruse she saw worked in
one Of the biggest establishments in
Paris:
There was sudden and evident
commotion among the employees.
The Princess! The Princess! She
has arrived!' they cried.
american eyes began to bulge.
'Out from a magnificent equipage
stepped a regally gowned grand la
dy, attended by footmen and maid,
and received by the whole bowing
establishment, to the neglect of all
other customers She was in gra-
cious mood this day. and easy to be
pleased, praising their past efforts
and selecting several Of their new
creations without regard to cost.
After she had made her departure
amid like ceremonies, there was no
need of the saleswoman bothering
her head over suggestions. Every
American woman present wanted a
gown copied from the one the Prin-
cess had bought, and she got 1t at
ter much pleading and at price far
beyond the limit she had set.
And the point of this fable is this:
The Princess was no Princess. but
an employee of the house.
Every French gown has two
prices-an American price and a
French price 1t is needless to say
which is the greater price.
Along about April the cry goes
up. The Americans are coming and
then the prices go up. too.
Along about November. when the
Americans have left. you might al
most say they are giving away
gowns. only the Frenchman never
does give away anything. Then it is
that the Frenchwoman in general
and the French actress in particular
selects her wardrobe"

The Texas Bride.

The Houston Post man leaves the
red-headed widows of Texas to take
care of themselves while he sings the
praises of the Texas BRIDE in poetl-
cal prose- Hear him:
The Texas bride has a mission in
life. She has a husband to direct
and control. She keeps him in neat
trim all the time and feeds him until
he is so happy that it would require
a sheriff and four constables to drag
him away from home at night. She
is no hammock swinger, languidly
dreaming the days away. She is no
poodlefondler She never snuffrag-
ettorates.
She is jasmine-scented, rosy
checked, red-headed pinionless an
gel, and more. She is a sock-darner
and a pants-patcher. She is batter
cake-fapper and a waff1e-turner. She
is a pie architect and layer-cake
contractor. And chicken-fryer and
hash-cOnstructor for the gods.

A Fast Record.

One of the Illinois Congressman
has a good story of a political con-
vention. in that State for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for an i'm
portant office.
The district was a close one, and
the necessity of selecting a popular
man was thoroughly recognized. A
speaker had just nominated a per-
sonal friend for the position, and in
an elaborate eulogy had presented
in glowing terms his manifold mer-
it's. especially emphasizing his great
services on the field of battle, as we'll
as in the pursuits of peace.
After he had finished voice was
heard in the rear of the room.
What we want is the man that will
run the best
In an instant the orator was again
on his feet.

that can run better than the gentle

A Thing Impossible.

IF the editor were required to
please all the readers of his paper
he would have on his hands hope
less task. Think of the variety of
tastes among the 10000 men and
women. Think of all the angular
tiles, peculiarities, preferences, pref
udices, standards, likes and dislikes,
Please them all? Impossible. Some
like doctrine and lots of it; others
just can't endure doctrine. One
wants a big per cent. of poetry: an
other can't imagine why the editor
should waste space with such stuff.
The mind of one runs on missions.
Another would have the paper filled
with Sunday school matter. And
here is another who complains be-
cause more space is not given to
moral reform. One takes the editor
to task for allowing given thing
in the paper, and before the editor
can recover from this drubbing an
other dear dear reader flies into him
for something he kept out.
I'VE have had subscribers to order
their paper stopped short because of
some article that displeased them,
while others were so pleased with
the article that they induced their
friends to subscribe on the strength
of it.
THE editor has poured on him
blessings and cursing. Enough OF
blessings to inspire gratitude and
courage. and enough of cursing to
require a great measure Of divine
grace and keep him humble.
The editor is glad when his read
ers are pleased and sorry when they
are displeased, but he cannot afford
to try to please anybody. He knows
how impossible it is to please every
body. so he has to make sure of his
motives, risk his best judgement and
bravely go ahead.
The above from valued Western
paper doubtless gives the experience
of more than one editor. The prob
lem is solved when the editor seeks
to please no one. but risks his judg-
ment, determined to do the right
thing as he sees it and go ahead
