Put Big Buck Asleep.

A man who owns large deer park in
the southern part OF the Adirondacks had
seen an unusually large buck that he was
very anxious to secure for his preserve,
and he offered 500 for it, alive and craft
ed, ready for shipment. All the guides
in that section knew OF the big deer and
made efforts 10 get it alive.
Iohn Benham vert into the nearest vii
lage and had the druggist make some pei
lets OF glue, flour, paste and opium a trlile
larger than buckShot. Then he loaded
several shells with them.
The next time he saw the big buck on
the runway he sent the contents OF both
barrels into its side. II ran and he fol-
lowed il, coming up 10 it about two hours
later. The buck was in clump OF ever
green's fast asleep.
As soon as the hardened mixture SO
heavily loaded with opium entered the
deer's body if had begun TO dissolve
and soon the animal was overcome by
sleep.
Benham said the deer had run in cir
Gle and was only few rods from his
camp when it dropped asleep.
1t was carried TO camp and boxed fol
shipment, the anters and hoofs being
tied to the sides and bottom Of the crate
When the buck awoke it was well on its
way to the private park. Benham got
check for 500 the next day.

verSiteS all over the country participated.
Mr.. Hodges has always been active in
moral and religious movements IN the ed
ucationa institutions with which he has
been connected. lie has been an active
member Of the Presbyterian church, and
is noted throughout his native State as a
vigorous exponent OF the highest religious
ideals.
Parallel TO his educational work, Colo
mel Hodges has displayed marked abil-
ity in business and financial matters and
today he is considered one OF the fore
most men in that line in the State. In no
town has he been located but that he be-
came identified with some business other
than in the educational line.
Mr.. Hodges has been lifelong Demo-
crat, being descended from one OF the
highly respected and well known Demo-
cratic families OF the State. While, ow-
ing 10 his work in public education, he
has never tpken an active part in State
politics, he has at all times manifested in
tereSt in political affairs. He was sug-
gested by his friends in 1903 as a suitable
candidate tor Governor, and his name
was presented TO the State convention at
Charleston, but he gracefully yielded TO
the Hon. Louis Bennett, who was made
the party nominee that year. The fine
impression, however, which he made al
that time has since deepened among the
people, and he has grown in popularity
With the approach OF the Democratic
State Convention this year for the nom
ination OF Congressman at Large, there
was growing feeling among the mem-
bers OF the party that Woodrow Wilson
type OF man should be named, and they
instinctiyely turned 10 Col. Hodges as
that man. Colonel Hodges did not So
licit the nomination, and was reluctant TO
accept it, but when assured that the call
for his acceptance came from all factions
and all elements OF the party he respond
ed TO the demand OF the people TO be-
come the standard bearer OF the democ-
racy. There were no strings to the nom
ination, and Col. Hodges occupies an ab-
solulely independent position restricted
only by his sense Of obligation 10 his
State, his party and his friends.
Colonel Hodges is by inheritance, abil-
ity and training thoroughly prepared TO
defend and uphold the traditional princi-
pies OF the Democratic party, and TO make
clear to the people OF the State the value
and the significance Of the achievements
OF the Democratic administration OF Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson. In character,
in attainments, and in the sense Of public
obligation, Thomas E. Hodges is an en-
inently worthy representative OF the
Woodrow Wilson democracy.

Won The Jury's Sympathy.

The great advocate-let us call him Mr..
McSweeney-waS defending man in a
murder case. The case looked hopeless
and McSweeney submitted no evidence
for the defense. SO the public prosecu-
tor, believing that conviction was assured,
ended with just few pertunctory re-
marks.
Then, in a quiet, conversational tone,
the famous McSweeney began to TAX to
the Jury. He made no mention OF the
murder. He just described in vivid colorS
pretty country cottage hung with honey
suckles, young wife preparing supper
and the rosy youngsters waiting at the
gate to greet their father on his return
home for the evening meal. Suddenly
McSweeney stopped, drew himself up to
his full height. Then striking the table
with his fist, he cried in voice that
thrilled every bosom:
Gentlemen, you must send him back
home TO them"
A red-faced juror choked and bluted
out
"By George, sir, we'll do it"
McSweeney, without another word, sat
down and 10 minutes later the jury
brought in a verdict OF acquittal.
The prisoner wept as he shook his
counsels hand. "No other man on earth
could have saved me as you have done,
Mr.. McSweeney," he sobbed. 81 amt
got no wife or family, sir"

Where Do Birds Die I

We have millions OF birds in this coun-
try, yet if is very seldom we see a dead
bird. At the same time the mortality
among them must be exceedingly high,
for they do not increase TO any great ex-
tent, surely not at all in comparison with
the countless thousands that are hatched
every year.
1t has been asked, "WhY is. it we so
seldom see dead bird ?" Ornitholo-
gists have attempted TO explain but not
with very great success, as they have no
definite proof of their ideas as to this.
Once in while one may see dead bird
in the woods or fields and rarely in the
cities and towns, but they are astonlsh-
ingly few, says writer-in the illustrated
Sunday Magazine.
Nevertheless, il is obvious that thous-
andS OF birds must die each month.
Where do they die? That is a question
that even the naturalist cannot answer
satisfactorily. OF course, many birds are
killed off by animals. llmany birds,
and fact il is that an ailing blackbird is
killed off by his fellows, and other birds
adopt similar method.
II is quite possible that those killed-oit
birds are the ones seen dead in woods
and fields, but there yetremain thousands
OF bird deaths that cannot easily be ac-
counted for. The most likely expIana-
lion il that sick bird crawls away to
cover of some sort and there dies. With
out doubt, hundreds OF birds so perish
each month. And sometimes bird gets
into a corner that he cannot escape from,
then he dies there.
Small animals as well as birds crawl
off 10 some isolated spot, and where they
die there do their bodies wither to decay.
A sick dog gets out OF sight il he possibly
can ; an ailing cat does the same thing.

Saving The Venus OF Milo.

When, during the war of 1910, the Ger
man army drew near the French capital.
one of the first measures the Pansians
took was to place the art treasures ot the
Louvre in safety The paintings OF Ra-
phael, Titan, Paolo, eronese, Rem
brandt and RubenS were carefully packed
and shipped to Brest. There they could,
if necessary, be put on shipboard and
taken from the country.
Il was not so easy to save the pieces OF
marble statuaV, for their weight and ira
eility made them difficult TO handle; but
the French determined that the famous
Venus of Milo, at least. should not tall
into the hands OF the PruSSians.
So they took her down from her ped
eStal. and laid her in caSkei carefully
padded and wrapped. At night the cas-
ket was taken out through secret door,
aud hid secretly in the cellar OF the police
prefecture, at the end Of certain secret
paSSageway
They walled in the caSket, and cleverly
gave the wall an Appearance OF great age
and dhapidl,ion. In front OF this VIII
they laid a NUMBER OF valuable public
documents, so that il they should happen
10 be found. their importance would lead
the diScoverers TO think there VAS moth
ing else hidden there. In front OF the
papers they built another wall. Here
the Venus OF Milo remained, much 10 the
distress Of those patriotic PariSianS who
did not know where she WAS, and sup
posed that she had been stolen, through
the siege OF the city by the Germans and
through the disorders oi the Commune.
One day the prefecture caught tire, and
was pretty completely destroyed. The
distress OF those who knew that the Venus
was concealed there can be imagined.
As soon as the fire was eXtingulshed,
they hastened 10 the sinking ruins, and
after some digging found the caskei,
buried in heaps OF dirt and stones, but
unlnjured.
Ii is understood that the Venus has
gone into hiding again this year, moi 10
reappear until peace is restored and
Paris is tree from danger Of the invader.

Workmen, Spare That Nest !

A very charming story is told OF Mr..
CorliSs, the inventor OF the great Corliss
engine. He had made plans for building
an extension to his engine works, had
chosen the site and begun the work,
when the workmen discovered in a clump
OF bushes directly in the line OF the foun-
dation a bird sitting on nest that held
four blue eggs.
Her fright and fury at the invasion OF
her territory was vouble and pathetic.
Mr.. Corliss happened to be near by; he
heard of the discovery, and came over TO
see the bird mother and her nest. The
sight interested and moved him. He or
dered all work at that point suspended
until the little family represented by the
four blue eggs had been hatched and
reared. So the masons laid aside their
hammers and the carpenters their planes,
and silence fell upon the thicket where
the distracted little mother was now
smoothing her feathers, and attending
again to her domestic duties. Not until
the last awkward Youngster was safely
launched on his career was the silence
disturbed by the returning workmen.
II would be pleasant to believe that
each one of the four birds whose lives
Mr.. Corliss had made possible straight
way betook itself 10 the gardens Of their
friend, and there devoured so great a
quantity OF noxious insects that the har-
vests of that year became memorable.
But kindness in this, As in many other
cases, was no doubt its own most salts
tying reward.

Washington's Benediction.

There are certain incidents in childhood
that are permanently enshrined in the
memory, never TO be forgotten. When
Washington Irving was old, some one
asked him ifhe had ever seen Gen. George
Washington.

the occasion of some review in the city
of New York. do not know what. had

and told that the stately gentleman on

for whom | had been named. And J

TO have seen General Washington.
1.-The next day was out walking again
with my nurse, when she suddenly caught
sight OF the general entering a shop.
Clutching my hand tightly, she hurried
into the shop and caught him by the
sleeve, crying:
"'Generall General! Here's BARN
that's called after ye! Will ye no gle
him blessing?'
"Called after me, is hep said the
general, in a pleased voice, and, laying
his hand on my head, he said, in most
reverential manner, God bless the little
one foreverp and went out OF the shop.

cluded Mr.. Irving, "and am an old man; /;
but can sometimes, even now, feel the
gentle pressure of his hand on my head,
and know his blessing abided with me,

And the noble head bowed as it TO re-
ceive another benediction and those
who heard the simple story grew grave
and awed, for all felt that it was much to
have received the blessing OF The great
and good Washington.
