Hunters TussIe with a Deer

James Shook of this city had an ex-
citing experience with buck deer at
Occidental, in Marin county, recently.
Shook was out hunting alone and
sighting the animal fired two shots.
The deer fell, and thinking it was
dead, Shook ran up to his prize. To
his surprise the apparently dead ami
NAL jumped up and rushed at him Vi
ciously.
Before he could protect himself
Shook was knocked down and
trampled into insensibflity. He final
ly recovered and upon staggering to
his feet, discovered the deer lying
dead not more than 200 yards away.
Shook sustained a fracture Of two
ribs by being struck by the deer's
horns when he was first thrown to the
ground. In addition he was consider
ably bruised by the animals hoofs.-

WANTED: ANSWERS TO THESE.
Can You Reply to Queries of Young
Readers?

The editor Of the Children's En-
cyclopedia hit on happy idea the
other week when he invited his young
readers to send him questions that
they would like answered. The ques-
lions sent in have proved a veritable
revelation Of the strange paths into
which the juvenile mind wanders.
''What color WIS ADAM" is a prob
lem that will puzzle the anthropologist
while the Psychical Research society
may be interested in the question,
where do our spirits go when we go
to sleep?" In the latter connection
comes the startling query, why have
1 dreamed the same thing every night
for two years?"
Among genuine puzzlers, which will
be read sympathetically by every wor-
ried father, we may mention: why
does time never stop?" What is the
correct age of the skies?" why don't
spiders get caught in their own webs %
'Why does white smoke make the tun-
nels black?" "What is the use Of
heas?"
AS a final query for our readers to
puzzle over come the questions: why
have Manx cats no tails?" and why
do the hens cackle when they have laid
an egg?"
