The inn was re-, habllitated and brightened. It was only a few hours before the fire | broke out that the chimney connecting ! with a large kitchen range had been thor- oughly overhauled and cleaned.

He denied that th | Government was pulling chestnuts out of the fire for Italy and explained that Cap- 3 tain Plunkett had been carried too far by | his eagerness to attack.

One of the most unique specimens of theé deer kind ever bagged in this country has just fallen prey to the hunter in the woods of Cow Canyon Creek, near Grants | Pass, In Oregon. The animal 15 smow | white and has pink eyes, and so far as is known is the only one of the kind ever taken. The deer was killed by G. W. ‘Donnel, who says that it was with two ordinary deer when shot. In size, form and all other points, save color, it is iden- tical with the ordinary kind. There has been a tradition among the Indians of such a deer, says the Northwest Maga- | zine, but it was considered purely a myth till Mr. Donnell settied the question otherwise. The Indians say that the deer contained the spirit of a beautiful maiden, a daughter of a recent chief of the tribe. ‘The story connected with the superstition is a peculiar one. Many yvears ago the Franciscan Fathers built a little mission chapel in that part of the country adjacent to Cow Canyon. After the death of the priest who first A handsome priest to minister to the parish foners, all of whom were Indians. The priest was much taken with the beautiful her. In turn she became very fond of the priest and became his assistant and con- the trend of their affections they were deeply in love with each other. When the disclosure came they were aghast; for they realized the sacred nature of the vows of celibacy which bound the priest and they knew that their love was hope- less. In the agony of despair the maiden rushed from the presence of the priest and fled into the mountains. That after- noon there came a severe snowstorm, and the priest, learning that the maid was missing and that she had been seen go- ing Into the mountains, started after her to try to effect a rescue. Neither of them was ever seen again. The Indians be- lieve that the Great Spirit, out of pity for them and their great love for each other, changed them to deer that they might pass the remainder of their lives together. The deer which was said to embody the spirit of the maid was de- scribed as being pure white, while her mate was a particularly large and hand- some animal of the ordinary species. Both these deer were held sacred by thém and they refused to molest them.

Paper a Con- | queror of Time and | Space. Copies of the new ocean daily issued on board the steamship Etruria, which have reached this city, show that this itinerant contemporery of the deep sea has an ade- quate intelligence department and an in- stinct for representative presentation of the happenings of the day. A total news service of 12 words by wireless sufficed on one day to color in suggestive fashion nine subjects of national and international coneern. As an illustration of the progressive mastery of the age over the forces of na- ture—its conquest of time and space—the steamship newspaper is truly a notable, a significant event. As an illustration of the adaptation of means to an end it is not so unqualifiedly a triumph A good many men go to sea to get away from the worldi—from ‘business corre- spondence, from the newspaper and the ticker. The same motives guide them which impel the camper-out in the Adi- rondack, Rock Mountain or Canadian wilds. They want to realize that aloof- ness from the main stream of contempo- rary world history that the savage of to- day and the peasant of yesterday | achieved. To such men an Atlantic news- paper is an affliction. To the oid rounder in transatiantic travel, the man who crosses the ocean on business several times a year, and be- grudges every hour that separates him from the world, such a newspaper will be a weleome thing. The poker players, the the daily runs, | | contingent that bets on will read it with avidity. It will afford fresh subjects of conversation for those to whom the sea and the rest and healing it brings never had, or no longer have, a meaning. They are not a majority. One of the incidental pleasures of an ocean trip is the thrill of anticipation with which one approaches, at the journey's end, a world that has been ging on unseen for a week or more. It is as if an- other planet swam into one’s ken. With a deep sea newspaper the world will never get out of sight.—New York Mail and Ex- press. —_—————— Needed Something Stronger. Bishop Potter is an enthusiastic golf player. Some time ago he was on the links at Saranac, accompanied by a cad- die who was himself a golfer of acknowl- | edged skill. 'The Bishop made ready for a mighty drive, and, with one tremendous swing, he topped the ball. Of course, he was drived of the consolation which in such cases serves to soothe the temper of the layman. All he said was, “Sh-sh-sh- -sh-sh-sh!" | It was his way of relieving his feel- ings. Then he tried again. This time he | scooped up some cublc feet of sod, and | once more the sibilant but inoffensive and ineffective protest escaped his lips. For the third time the Bishop teed his ball, for the third time his driver missed the | mark and for the third time he unbur- | dened hig oppressed: soul as above. The | caddie could stand it no longer. “Hang it, man!” he exclaimed, “sh-sh- | sh-sh-sh won’t send that bal where you want it to go!"—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
