WAS NEW AT THE SPORT.
NoYice at Peer Hunting; Kllle.1 Three
llucka on Hiicce.elve Day..'
I "Well, boys, let's each of ub travel by
himself today and see If we won't have
better luck." Thero were four of us
sitting at tho breakfast table; thrco old
hunters and one who was new at tho
business; no meat In camp, poor hunt
lug, but a determination and firm be
lief that wu would obtain our hearts'
desire In time. Of course, the new man
was assigned the least likely old woods
road, easy to follow, ono that ho
couldn't get out of, one that no deer
1 wns ever seen In.
j Well, wo came back at night, ono by
ono, empty handed. All but the new
man. Ho had sat down to eat his din
ner on a log, and a big buck had walk
ed nut Into tho open and our "now
man" had blown a hole through him
with Ills new ilO-30. Our new man was
uo longer new; ho was a subject for re
spect and congratulation.
Tho next day wo asked him,
"Whither away V" "Oh, that old woods
road Is good enough for me," bo said,
"for I can't get lost In )U you know;
you know, I am no woodsman," At
night wo three old hunters came In,
only to find our friend taking his
smoke nnd cleaning his rifle. Yes, ho
had taken his lunch on that same old
log, and while eating ho caught sight
of a flue Imek and killed him, not (Ivo
rods from tho place where he had drop
ped the first one.
"Tho law only nllows mo one more, I
believe, so tomorrow I'll tako the samo
old beat, If It's all the samo to you fel
lows," and suro enough, he took that
samo old rond nnd severely wounded a
1 largo buck as ho wus crossing It. Be
ing unused to the woods, ho would not
1 follow tho trail, but got two of us, and
i after going a short distance we found
the deer lying down, badly wounded.
I This was the greatest piece of luck
tha,t I ever heard of, as each and every
one of these three deer (It waa In the
days when three deer wero allowed to
a man) was a large, fat, handsome
buck, with fltio head, and tho best part
of It all was that the new man wore bis
i honors easily and gracefully. Maine
Sportsman.
t Metals Need licet.
It may sound strangely to hear per
' sous talk about u "tired steel axle" or
i a "fatigued Iron rail." but that sort of
talk Is heard along railways and In
i machine shops and Is considered cor
I rect. "What caused the axle to breaky
asks tho railwuy superintendent. "Fa
! tlgue of the metal," answers the In
;' spector. Sinews of steel can tiro as
well as muscles, of brawn, and ' metal
that docs not havo Its rest will cease
' to do Its work and may cause great
damage. At least so the engineer say.
' EiikKsIi and Preacb Words Alike.
It Is not such a very distant Jump

COMING A 1 1RACTION8.
"Faust' at Cordray's.
A cardinal point In the coming pro
duction ot Lewis Morrison's "Faust"
at Cordray's next week Is Its mngnlll
cent scenic completeness. Never In
the history of this famous play has It
been presented in as perfectly uniform
n manner as UiIb season. From the
time tho curtain rises upon tho dark
sepulchral cell oc Dr. Faustus, until It
falls Upon tho .cnutlful tableaux ot
tho apothcoslB, It 1b a scries of elabo
rate spectacular transformations, rang
ing from cccleslnstlcal solemnity to
diabolical wlerdness. Special attention
Iiub been given to tho electrical and
mechanical features. In tho gnrdon
scene nn electrical nisplay of dazzling
splendor Is Introduced, pronounced to
bo tho most novel ever presented ion
tho stage. Again, In tho brocken scene
nil the skill and Ingenuity of tho stago
mechanic's art Is brought into requi
sition, In addition to many new nnd
startling oloctrlcnl effects. It Is guar
anteed that tlieso effects will be pre
sented, ns advertised.
"Master and Man."
The Metropolitan theater will have
for its noxt attraction commencing
next Sunday night, Pettlt & Slmms'
famous melodrama "Mnster and Man."

London, England, In 1883, when It at
once becamo tho tad, and had a run
of 452 nights. Then to Australia,
where It ran 300 nights. Mr. Richard
Mansfield was tho original Humpy Lo
gan, In "Master and Man," which part
ho played throughout tho run of tho

tho London production, such well-
known nttlsts nnd stars of today as Mr.
