The man who declined to eat at a
formal dinner because he was not
hungry showed unusual independ-
ence. Indeed, the modern table,
decked out for festive occasion, is
a formidable affair. Few, even the
most expert, know exactly what they
are eating. In book called "Old
Kentucky" Mr.. J. F. Cook describes
an elaborate repast which he attended
some years ago while on visit to
the East
Perhaps what food satisfies one
depends largely upon taste and habit.
Had Mark Twain been permitted to
enjoy the evening meal-they called
it dinner-at Sherry's, in New York.
he would not have been SO frank in
expressing great admiration Tor
Southern cooking.
ut was said that it took four thou
sand dollars to provide the supper
for four hundred people-and how
much money was spent on other
things was not estimated.

an old Kentuckian who had spent a
quarter of a century in the West, 1t
was naturally an occasion OF great
expectation.

crate way-bill, called menu. was

HIGH LEAPS BY DEER.
English Hunter Has Seen Many o,
Them Jump From Precipices.

Gordon Boles, an Englishman who
has hunted all oyer the world, has
recorded some remarkable leaps
taken by deer when pursued. His
observations have been chiefly in his
native district, Exmoor, the land OF
Lorna Doone"; in India and in
northwestern Canada.
Uncomfortable fear and partial
blindness caused by long pursuit he
gives as reasons for deer taking
leaps which usually end in death.
Once while hunting with the Devon
and Somerset staghounds he saw a
hind leap 800 feet from a cliff to the
seashore. She was dashed to pieces.
In the excitement of the chase one
of the hounds followed her.
On another occasion a stag made a
bold burst for the open, going
straight for the sea. He came to the
edge of a cliff some hundreds of feet
above the beach and then dashed
restlessly backward and forward. as
if seeking a path to descend.
Ilc SiluCl lulSSSu Lib lOOlluS
jumped, and when the hunters came
up he was seen below. shattered
mass with the horns broken into
small pieces. Mr.. Boles is inclined
to think that the stag committed sui
eide deliberately.
Another deer which made the leap
at about the same place landed safe
ly and swan out to sea. Men pur-
sued him in boat and killed him
In India Mr.. Boles wounded a sam
bur, which resembles somewhat the
common deer of the United States.
The sambur showed fight on a mar.
row path oyerhanging precipice.
Mr.. Boles fired again, but in his ex.
element aimed too low. the ball
passing beneath the deer and strik-
ing the ground Just back of his hind
legs. The deer turned and deliber.
ately leaped over the height.
A fine buck he wounded in north.
western Canada when pursued by
the dog jumped from a height of 100
feet into a shallow stream and
broke his neck.
