Willy BLAcK-TAILED DEER
Lie CIoss, With Ears Back, Like a
Fawn or a Rabbit-Natur-
ally Shy.

BY far the most interesting and
sought for creature in the Oregon
mountain ranges, the Columbian
blacktailed deer, is found 1T his best
in the ranges between the summit OF
the Cascades and the Pacific.
And he Is a true mountaineer. No
animal knows better how to take ad-
vantage of the hundreds Of contrast
ing but harmonious, woodland tints.
Only when the frs, pines and hem
locks cast long shadows into the
gulches where he lies concealed and
the sun nears the horizon does he
slip out, and after cautiously peering
about and testing the wind begin pick
ing up his dinner.
The deer has an individuality all his
own, which is in keeping with his for
est surroundings. The more one hunts
him the greater becomes ones respect
for him. His natural shyness is so
great that he skulks outrageously, and
the covers Of mosswrapped brush and
fallen tree trunks, harmonizing with
his own blush gray coat, afford him a
shelter and safe retreat.
In these recesses many objects re-
semble Q deer at rest, and the hun
ter's eye becomes SO accustomed to
them that oftentimes when a deer Is
acatually sighted 1t seems SO common
place to him that he fails to distin-
guish it until 1t leaps into cover. This
is particularly true when deer are
lying Illuminating. And one Of these
blacktails will lie still and make him
self look like stump when any other
deer would be climbing trees and
jumping precipices to get out Of the
way Of danger.
Several times have discovered a
deer lying only few yards off, with
neck depressed, head to the ground
and ears laid back, for all the world
like fawn or like a rabbit in its
form. This is frequently practised by
the blacktail. On one occasion dis
covered young forked horn buck ly-
ing close and decided to find out what
he would do In such a case, so I
moved on hurriedly, designedly kick.
ing the sticks and brush, but he kept
still and showed nc disposition to
move.
Crossing the ridge I swung back so
as to doubi, over the same course
and when l got view of his lair
peered through the bushes and saw
him still on the lookout in the direc
tion he had seen me disappear. Fur
the down the canon a large buck was
standing, looking anxiously in the same
direction. Presently the young buck
got up and lent down into a thicket
and the old buck soon joined him
there, but in position affording him
commanding view and beyond my
rife range. Il was watching with a
telescope.) made an attempt to get
a shot at the big buck, brit he sneaked
out without my even seeing him co.

THE WAY OF THE FISHERMAN
It ls Made Hard for Him When He
Has Big Story to Tell
His Friends.

"A fisherman who was worming for
trout on the Ythan," says writer in
Baily's Magazine, had just laid his
rod down to visit his sandwich box,
when without warning 1t suddenly
rose In the air and scared away like
Bleriot Biplane over Esslemont woods.
For one wild moment he thought
there were visions about, but the ex-
planation was soon apparent. A trout
had first seized the worm and had
then in turn been seized and gorged
by heron. Away tapped the heron,
only to find that 1t had captured some
thing of unusual weight
still, 1t bravely flew toward its
nest in the treetops, and the angler
might never more have recovered his
rod had 1t not got entangled in some
telegraph wires with the result that
the cast snapped, the heron went free
and the rod was eventually restored to
Its owner.
Il remember telling this story to a
man who before had even got as far
as the telegraph wires interrupted me
with the assurance that it was mere
everyday commonplace to what had
befallen friend of his when mahseer
fishing In India.
1T seems that his angling friend
was casting with large spoon, and In
back cast drove 1t into the ear Of
tiger which had been going to spring
on him from behind. Goaded by the
pain, the brute sprang clean over him
and into the river, and the fisherman
actually played 1t for an hour as 1t
swan to and fro In midstream.
TT is such stories which bring down
on fishermen the unmerited reproach
of being liars,
"Once when | had been describing
some memorable fight with one Of the
big fish of the past wrote:
II live over those tense moments
again and again
did the printer so interpret me7
Not at all. What he preferred was:
~ lie over those tense moments
again and againr
"This sort of thing is very hard.
What made 1t worse at the time was
the fact that the friend who drew my
attention to the misprint was golfer!"

IRONTON. MO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1911.
A Brand Burning.

wise Cleveland, the pastors of two
churches will not permit Brand
Whitlock to speak from their pull
pits. Mr.. Whitlock is the Mayor
of Toledo and a novelist and So
cialist-in each and all very high
class. He was asked to address
the Federation of Women's Clubs,
and the preachers won't let him do
80 in their churches-one of them
is known as Rockefeller's church,
not Gods, oh dear me, no. And
why? Because Mr.. Whitlock has
views. How dare he? What are
those views? Well, it's really
only one view. He believes that
poverty causes vice and crime,
rather than vice versa. He will
not hound the women of the town
into the lake or the river. He will
not close up the saloons. He says
it's useless to do such things. to
say nothing of its being cruel, for
economic conditions keep right on
creating more women of the town
and more appetite for drink, which
appetite will be catered to secretly,
if not openly. Mr.. Whitlock
thinks the way to get rid of the
boozer and the bawd is to quit
making them-for the very good
people of all the cities to quit sup
porting a system that has such
things for product. Of course,
this jars Rockefeller's church-and
possibly Gods, if He have a
church anymore, anywhere. Says
the pastor of Rockefeller's church,
Rev. Mr.. Bustard, d,-awsit omen
"Society has some right to pro-
lection against the vicious, but,
Mr.. Whitlock "does not think So"
Mr.. Whitlock thinks the vicious
have some right to protection
against society-before they are
made vicious. And there you are.
Mr.. Whitlock does not believe in
riotous debauchery or lewdness.
He simply says they are not the
chiefest worst sins. He refuses to
make them the point of attack for
all his effort. He will let the pub
lican and puelld peripatettca live
and he will try to shape a society
in which they shall not be nec-
essary, not even accidents of the
system. He is eccentric, is Brand
Whitlock. "Of course he is," as
the New York Sun said of Ed
Howe, of Atchison, Kan, similar
ly aspersed, she's sane" By what
claim, sther than a crazy one, does
any Christian church bar out the
publican and the woman of wanton
wiles. For them was not Christ
sent. But l forgot. It's Rocke-
felller's church, not Christ's that's
talking. Whitlock will speak in
Cleveland, all right. The preach
ers will provide him big audi
ence who will get real religion.
And my hat is off to the Cleveland
Federation of Women's Clubs fol
their pronunciamento that Mayor
Whitlock will speak in Cleveland,
supporting his view, even if they
have to hire an auditorium in
which to hear him. ST. Louis MR.
ror.

LA LIBERTE DE LA
PRESSE

Vous devez la iberte la presse,
non pas settlement a la .presse .qui
la m6rite par sa prudence, mais q
la presse telle qu'elle est, sage ou
folle. Vous la devez q la presse,
parce que la presse e4prime la
pens6e de la nation entiere ct
qu'elle est ct doit etre CONNIE
cette pens6e meme, diverse confu-

absurde, violente, magnanime;
parce qu'elle est Ia conscience de

qu'elle disc tout qui Sc croft ou Sc

en- sorte que lie vrai ct le faux Sc

la meme proportion od ills sont au
fond des esprits parce que ses fai-
blesses ct ses hontes, son ignoran-

lui viennent de la communaut6,
tandis qu'elle possede en- propre

LES AUVERGNATS SONT
DES HEROS

"D'od Went, dit le "Pionnier, 2
le dicton: mi \hommes, nj fem
mes, tous Auvergnats!''
Plusieurs. 6tymologies ont etc
proposes. La plus vraisemblable
est peut etre la plus ancienne. On
la trouve dams les commentaries
de Cesar, oh il est 6crit:
.'Nec homines, nee mulieres,
Auverni sed viyi. -
C;est sous les murs de Gergovie
que lie vaincu de Vercing6torix
6drivit: Lies Auvergnats ne sont
nj des hommes, nj des femmes, ce
sont des h6ros.'
On volt que le dicton ma pas le
sens ironique qu'on lui attribute
parfois.
