THE DEER BEGAN TO GORE HIM.

antlers knocked out Of his hand the
chloroform bottle, bag and cotton.
Buckley was flung to the ground, and
the deer began to gore him. He chung
to the antlers, shouting for help.
Captain Wood, commander of Frank
Guttridge's yacht, the Ethel. and Ack-
erly were passing in the road or their
way home from the South Bay Yacht
club. They went to Buckeyes assist
ance. Wood grasped the bucks antlers
and Buckley, %senseless, sank to the
ground. Ackerly, who once was a foot
ball player. made a flying leap and
tackled the bucks hind legs, hanging
on as the enraged animal plunged.
Wood, cling1ng to the a~ntlers. was
dashed about. A vicious jerk of the
deer's head caused him to loose his
hold. Springing to his feet, he ran for
a wood, the buck in close pursuit. with
Ackerly still cling1ng to one Of its hind
legs.
AS the deer was about to strike
Wood the captain lodged behind a
tree, whipped out a knife. and when
the deer again made for him, jumped
aside and stabbed the animal in the
shoulder. The deer charged aimlessly
and Wood stabbed it again and again.
until he severed an artery and it
dropped. Then Wood and Ackerly
watched the animals struggles from a
safe distance until it bled to death.

New Things For tho Baby,

Baby must be expected to become
athletic this winter, for he has a regu-
lar sweater nova thick white woolly
sweater that he pulls on over his head
just as his big football playing brother
does. Sometimes, though, his sweater
is outlined with pale pink, which the
athletic brother would new in this
world allow. The baby's sweater is the
t1niest little thing imaginable, but is
very cozy, and the mother who does
not want to be bothered with fasten.
ing clothes and trying to keep them
snugly buttoned in cold weather will
welcome 1t. If she likes, though, she
may rip it down the front and put it
on the baby in coat fashion, for it is so
made that she may do this without
spelling the knitting. The prices start
at Is cents, and a really fascinating
little garment may be had for $3.50.
Another warm article for the infant
on freezing days is a knitted hood
with a long, full cape attached.
In the house, even If the furnace
goes out, the baby may be kept as
warm as toast in one Of the new Jap
anese padded silk sacks or kimonos,
long or short. These are made exactly
like the snug dressing sacks and slum.

Fell From Hioh Cliff.

Patrick Clifford Of Avoca, Pa, fell
over Campbelrs ledge, one of the his
torical places Of the Wyoming valley,
and survives to tell Of it. The only
other man known to have gone over
the cliff was killed. He was Hiram
Campbell, who leaped over it some
120 years ago when pursued by In
diaps.
Clifford was out with friends coon
hunting when he became separated
from them and lost his bearings. He
was wandering along in the dense
darkness when he fell over the cliff.
Fifty or sixty feet down he became
wedged between a stunted tree and a
rock so tightly that he could not
move. He waited patiently until day
light. hoping to be seen then and res
cued, but the foliage hid him from
view.
He had i%nstinctively held on to his
gun as he fell and fired it to attract
the attention Of rescuers.

polnts
for
Mothers
The Schoolgirl.

The Schoolgirl.
At this time Of year. when fond and
conscientious mothers gather about tea
tables. there always rises the old dis
cussion on whether OF not girls should
play athletic games. such as basket
ball and hockey.
1T makes them so unladylike," one
mamma will declare, with an air of
saying something original. So in a
sense it may. but only because it makes
them girlish. and in this point the
whole problem lies.
Only a fanatic can object to girls
playing games or otherwise behaving
like healthy young animals. It is
when the playing becomes the self con-
scious and overserious hobby Of WON
On that it is reprehensible.
Those who argue that hockey makes
for ugliness, for loud voices and un-
routh are apt to bring out
photographs from the magazines in
support Of their theory. "Look at Miss
So-and-so," they say. Look at the
way she sets her feet down. Look at
the hard lines on her face. Do you
want your Mollie or Jessie or Jane to
develop into anything like that?'
But 1t is just as reasonable to advo-
cate that girls shouldn't learn to waltz
because ballet dancing causes undue
muscular development. In both cases
the specialist only is considered. If
the formidable and rather aggressive
Miss So-and-so had not taken to hockey
she probably would have made herself
look like that in any case. Dozens of
her contemporaries who shot at goal
and capered about in the mud in their
school days have now grown into ideal
ly graceful and gentle women.
Many women are apt to forget how
episode are the RACES and habits Of
school days. If a girl does run a little
wild through half her teens how short
that time will seem when halfway
through her twenties she looks back
at them through her grownup eyes.

Attacked by BIG Fish.

An instance Of a gar attacking a
man Is related by the Talbotton (Ga.)
Standard. James F. Simmons of Red
bone district had a narrow and pecul-
lar escape. He was fishing on Flint
river and had attempted to swim
across to get a bateau from the other
side. About half over the stream he
stopped to rest on the foot of a tree.
After remaining there a short time
he plunged off for the other shore.
Just as he made the plunge a ire
mendous fish, known as the gar.
struck him, catching his thigh in its
mouth, leaving an ugly and painful
wound. A regular battle then took
place between the man and the fish
that lasted some minutes until he got
back on his resting place and his enc.
my departed. During the fight Sim
mons threw the fish some feet above
the water, but it continued the attack.
The man was thoroughly frightened
and called Justify for help. He had
several ugly and painful wounds given
him by the fish. but none Of them was
serious.

THE APPROPRIATE
NOuRISHMENT,
Story Of a Stubborn Juryman
and an |rate Foreman.

Lawyers in attendance at the recent
convention of the Wisconsin State Bar
association told a lot of stories, for the
most part of a "shoppy" sort. This one
was told by Walter II. Bender in the
course Of his response to a toast at the
banquet:
1.-The jury had been out for thirty
weary hours, and every ballot showed
eleven votes for conviction and one
for acquittal. The jurors labored and
argued with the odd man, but he was
stubborn as a mule.
"By and by a court bailiff knocked
at the door and asked how things were
going. The foreman replied that there
seemed little prospect Of an agreement
being reached for some time.
"'Well. l suppose I might as we'll
bring your supper said the bailiff.
Shall l bring twelve suppers?'
"'No,' replied the foreman angrily.
Bring eleven suppers and n feed of
hay.'"-Milwaukee Free Press.

Encourage Children to Work.

Encourage the children to work. The

in childhood is quite apt to be the
n they take in later years, so try
to cultivate in them a sane, whole
some love of work for its own sake
and for the satisfying results it brings.
Even when they are small there are
many little things they can do which
will fix in their minds the fact that
they are helping and that it is their
duty to do so.
Each individual mother will know
best how to make the little duties a
pleasure to the children. and If she
starts out this way they will be able
to find the pleasure in work for them.
selves as they grow older.
If work is given them and a chance
for good, healthful r%ecreations they
will generally be contented and hap
py; If it is not they are bound to en-
ploy themselves somewhere. in some
way, and it is not always going to be
a way that parents would approve of.

Sleeping With Children.

When It is necessary for an adult to
sleep in the same bed with a young
child the following method will be
found quite satisfactory and insure
comfort to the adult at least. Make
the bed with three sheets instead Of
two: then have the child sleep be-
tween the middle and lower sheets ana
the adult between the middle and
upper sheets. This prevents the child
from rolling around and also holds
The sheet tightly about it's shoulders.
