TWO SPORTSMEN'S LUCK.
One Gets Deer Without Trying and On.
Can't Even See Them.
IIo liad just returned from a deer
shooting trip nud was telling about a
handsome buck which ho had shot, says
the New York Tribune, lie was not
"posing" as a great deer-hunter, for, as
he said: "It's all luck with me. I first
went after deer three years ngo. On
tho morning after I reached the camp
in tlie mountains we drew lots for our
runways. I gut only a fairly decent
one- It was very cold tliut morning,
and I stood back to a tree trying to
keep warm by smoking- and shrinking
up in my big mackintosh. For an hour
I had heard the dogs barking up on tho
hill. They tlid not seem to get much
nearer until suddenly they were right
upon me. Vrom the woods down to the
water thero was a clearing for a dis
tance of one thousand yards. In an in
stant my lino fellow struck tho clear
ing, lie was making for tho water,
running magnificently, with his head
up and his horns tossing. I felt just
ono liereo thrill and then I tried for
him. I had him as soon as ho reached
the water. Tho next year I was in a
boat when I saw my buck. The hounds
had driven him to tho water, and ho
was swimming straight down-stream.
I started to row after him, and then
seeing that it was useless to try to get
nearer witli my heavy boat, I tried for
him at long range, lie turned when I
hit him and swam toward the bank. 1
fired again and waited for him. lie was
a tremendous fellow. Hi) eamo out
with his two feet on tho bank, and as
lie lifted his quarters heavily I got him.
This year I got a good runwav. and on
the second day saw my buck chased into
the water. It was a littlo long range,
but I had a fine chance and secured him
with three shots. So you see luck
counts for something."
Another man in tho party agreed
with tho speaker perfectly. "I have
gone out for deer," ho said, "every fall
for seven years. I suppose I have spent
several thousand dollars on my deer
hunting. And how many deer do you
think I have shot? Not one. Wo havo
a lino camp. Everyono elso lu our
party always gets a deer. Tho men
give mo the best runways and the best
hounds, and yet 1 have never shot a
deer, Do you think that is bad luck?
Well, I'll tell you something else. In all
those seven years spent iu camp, de
spite all the favors shown mo, I have
never had the good fortune cveu to see
a deer on my runways. And if after
the first story and mine you will not
agree with me that I am an unlucky
deer-hunter, I'll givo up." Everyone
agreed with him, and yet he says ho is
going out again next fall for tho deer
which ho never sees.

HEAD CONTEST.
THE OLDEST MAN ON EARTH.
Ite Lives In llogc-ta and Itls Age la Ou
Hundred and Eighty Years.
The oldest man in the world is a citi
zen of liogota, in the Republic of San
Salvador. This new Methuselah, says
the Chicago Tribune, declares that he is
one hundred and eighty yours old, and
it would seem ho flatters himself, for his
neighbors give the assurance that he u
older than he says he Is.
Ho is a half-breed named Michael
Rolls, whose existence was revealed t
Dr. Louis Hernandez by one of the old
est planters in the locality, who as s
child knew Solis as a centenarian. 1'hej,
have found in 17I'J his signature amonj
those of persons who contributed to thf
building of a Franciscan convent which
exists near San Sebastian. His skin is
like parchment, his long hair of tilt
whiteness of snow envelops his heat
like a turban, and his look is so keel
that it made a disagreeable impressiop
on the doctor.
Interrogated by the doctor, ho an
swered complaisantly that his great age
was due to his regular mode of living,
and to his never giving up to any ex
cess of any sort whatever.
"I never eat but once a day," said ho
"but 1 never use any but the strongest
and most nourishing foods. My meah
last a half hour, for I believe it is im
possible to eat more in that time thar
the body can digest in twenty-foui
hours. 1 fast tho first and fifteenth day
of each month, and on those days 1
drink as much water as I can bear. )
always let my food become cold befort
I touch it. It is to these things that )
attribute my great age."
A GAMBLER'S SUPERSTITIONS
He Smokes Good Cigars When Losing
and Poor Ones When Winning.
There is a well-known sport, whose
face is a standing portrait in the gallerj
of Chestnut street habitues, who it
particularly heralded among hif
brethren of chance by tho brands oi
cigars he smokes, says the l'hihv
delphia Inquirer. If ho wins heavily!
on the track all his friends know it
by the terrific smell of the vile tobacco i
In his smokers. If he is a loser thej
are aware of it by the delicate porfuuu :
of the curling smoke of the wreaths o- .
a fragrant Havana. What induces thf
follower of tho goddess of chance to
thus contrarily denote his financial con
dition never could be learned until 8
week ago, when the quality of hit
cigar was so execrable as to call forth t
protest from his comrades, and then h
said: i
"It's my only superstition, boys. If J
win and should smoke a good cigai
luck'd go back on me so hard tho next
day I'd be iu the poor-house in a week.
Hut if I am a loser never very heavy,
understand, and light two or three
Conchas, d'ye see? I'll call the turn on
bad luck. When I'm playing in great
form then's when I draw on cigars
made from cabbages. It's my experi
ence that bad cigars and good luck are
friends and llavanus travel in the wak ,
of the losing sport." . .
A
A DRUNKEN BEAR.
Bruin Acquired an Appetite for ht
Flowing; BowL
4 Orliily That Got a Taste of Tipple ani
Liked It Delirium Tremens Put
a End to UU Dissipated
Career.
F 'Way back in the 50s I was tempora
rily handling the lines for tho Sacra
men to Overland State Company, and l ,
was over lota of land, I tell you, for mj
route ran through the roughest sectioi
of the Sierra Xevadas One night about
sunset I was swinging along the rocky :
trail at a pretty good paee, as I wanted ,
to reach Rabbit creek before dark, '
where we changed horses and got sup
per, says the Kansas City Star.
I had three passengers, all men, and
for freight carried a barrel of git
strapped on behind the stage. There
was gin for "lied Mike," who ran a fret !
and easy at the mining camp at Rabbit j
Creek. Suddonh my attention wat i
called by one of v!:e passengers to a
novel race which was going on down i
the side of the mountain between a
miner and a gnV.zly bear, with the man f
about one hundred feet ahee.d running
like a deer. Hut the bear was gaining
rapidly and it seemed that he had him
sure, when suddenly the miner turned
and darted off in another direction.
The grizzly was slow in stopping, but
when he did get straightened the way
he annihilated distance was a cautiorj
to catamounts.
Several times the miner played this
trick, and on each occasion gained con
siderable ground in one direction, but it
could be seen he was rapidly tiring, and
unless something happened the bear
was dead sure to get hiin. We were
wondering what we could do to help
the poor fellow when suddenly the
leaders smelled the grizzly. They
snorted and pranced and started off on
a dead run. I put on the brake, and it
was all I could do to stop them and
wouldn't have succeeded only the trail
was up grade.
Well, when the horses made their
jump the barrel of gin broke loose
frBm its fastenings and went tearing
down the mountain side toward the
man and bear, who were coming along
on a dead run. The man saw the bar
rel coming and avoided it but not so the
grizzly. He stood up on his hind legs
and, reachingout his fore paws, grabbed
it. The way that barrel rolled him
down the mountain would make a
coyote laugh.
The impromptu journey was brought
to a sudden ending by an immense
bowlder, against which the bear and
barrel rolled. The shock separated
them, and, strange to say, the barrel
stood right side up with the head
broken in and only a small portion of
the contents was spilled. To say the
bear was surprised would be putting it
light.
He thought he had his quarry and
when he discovered it was only a bar
rel his face took on an expression of in
tense disgust. However, as is natural
for a bear, he began to lick his shaggy
coat, which had been sprinkled with
some of the gin. The taste was ap
parently agreeable, as he kept on ab
sorbing the liquor with his rough
tongue until the flavor disappeared.
Then he went over and smelled of the
barrel. The inspection was undoubted
ly highly satisfactory, as he inserted hia
snout and took a sup, then he took a
good long draught, and in less than half
an hour that bear was as drunk as a
lord. i
We watched the proceedings with in
terest, and after we were satisfied the
bear had a jag on, we went down, tied
him up with ropes, dragged him up the
hill and threw him inside the stage.
We drove on to Rabbit Creek and sold
the drunken grizzly to "Red Mike" for
1100, and he chained him up in the cor
ner of his saloon and kept him as a curi
osity to draw trade.
Well, he did draw trade. "Mike"
gave him a quart of whisky a day, and
after awhile he became so docile that
hiB chain was removed. After that for
may years he would sleep around the
barroom and when one of the boys
would come and ask the house to drink
the grizzly would walk up to the bar,
stand on his hind le"s, and wait to be
served with a tineupful of whisky. He
was a source of great income, but, un
fortunately, being attacked with de
lirium tremens one day, he killed the
bartender and a miner with ono blow
of his powerful p;uv, j'-!il it. required
twenty Winchesters and about one hun
dred pounds of ler.d to cur - him of his
uncontrollable pit.v-,km for inuxicants.
The l on e of Habit.
' In the county court at Toronto may
be seen a venerable tar who has found
a haven In these legal precincts as a sub
ordinate oilieer after having been tossed
on tlie ocean for many a year in "her
majesty's" service. Not long ago, when
the hour for adjourning a sitting of the
court had arrived the crier was absent
and the judge, turning to the quondam
mariner, said: "Captain, adjourn the
court." Trained to prompt obedience,
"the captain" shouted in stentorian
tones: "Oh yes! oh yes! oh yes!" But
of the mystic formula no more came tc
his command. Not to be foiled in the
discharge of duty, lie proceeded in his
own fashion: "Ladies and gentlemen,
you may consider this court adjourned.
Clew up your sails and heave the an
chor. You must be here at ten o'clock
in tho morning. We will then weigh
anchor and make sail. God save thf
queen!" Astonished silence held al)
present for a moment, and then gave
way to a poul of laughter, in which
even "the court" was compelled to join.

"I wonder if I ever bore my friends as
lhat friend bores me?" sighed a gentle
man as ho bowed out a visitor from his
office.
Certainly, every body is at times a
bore, for this question of bores has two
sides, writes Hartley Barker in the New
York Weekly. There is no such thing
as boring with an auger into a granite
block. There is no such thing as boring
with your linger into a pine log. A so
cial bore must meet a social sensitive.
Some men are never bored by anybody;
they are of such unfailing good nature,
such philosophio patience and helpful
ness toward all, they read men so clear
ly and judge them so charitably, that the
most persistent, bothersome fellow
does not exasperate nor weary them.
They say some skillful word, they listen,
?et go on with their own affairs, they
are masters of tact, and they are wise
nough to foresee that the time may
oome when themselves will want a favor.
But there are others to whom even a
lovely child is a bore. Their best
friends bore them more than half the
time. Theso people are in a chronic
condition of selfishness, and every one
bores them who fails to contribute
something to their majesties' comfort or
happiness. More than half the bores
are not bores at all. In fact we our
selves are boreahle we are hypersensi
tive. Vie want our friendships to be all
receipts and no outgoes; and if a friend
insists on our doing a little something
for him by way of amusement in return
we are bored. I say we; yet not all of
us, kind reader, at all times. We mean
to give and take generally. But we
have our times and seasons of being
over-sensitive, when even our dear old
mother herself would seem to bore us.
"I bore you," said a shabby gentle
man to a young financier in the back
room of a bank some years ago. "To
confess the truth, you do," replied the
young man, smartly. The old man got
quietly out of his chair, folded up his
patent, which he had been exhibiting,
and politely took his grip-sack and him
self off. That patent has now become
worth its millions, and the smart young
financier is now at work as a clerk in
the office of the great company of which
the old inventor is prosident. Had this
financier been less nervous or sensitive
he might not have so missed hisfortune.
It is hardly safe to tell any decent
man that ho bores you. The result ia
stinging, aud is rarely forgotten. In
fact, I think patience to endure being
bored, and not show your fret, is one of
tho happiest qualities of mind for Suc
cessfully dealing with men.
Who is a bore? The man with a hobby.
The tedious, uninteresting talker. The
borrower. Tho fellow who boasts and
tells about himself all the while. The
friend who can't keep a good situation
six months, and always comes round for
new letters of Introduction. The in
veterate funny fellow, who can nevei
talk sober sense. The homely woman
who gets too near you when conversing
on her long yarns. The dudish youth
who makes a long, long call and sits in
dumb silence expecting you to do all
the entertaining. The man or woman
who calls too often. The person
who persecutes you with genuinely kind
invitations to come and visit him, and
will never take no for an answer. The
fellow who is always on the eontrarj
side, and fires up with: "Let us argue
the point." The good soul who is always
preaching to you "that smoking is kill
ing you." The curious person who picks
and peeps, that he or she may find ou
a secret that you do not wish to tell.
The very, very smart man who always
wants to teach you something. The vis
itor on whoso face you see constantly
written, "What shall we do next to
amuse ourselves?" notwithstanding you
have just jumped from one thing to an
other ever since he or she has been a
guest in the house. The writer of
lengthy letters full of platitudes, which
keep you continually in his debt. The
man with nothing to do, who drops in on
you when you havo every thing to do.
The list is capable of addition. Some
persons would boro you who would not
bore me. I am vexed by some whom you
call "perfectly delightful." Taste has
much to do with the matter, the hidden
law of likes and dislikes. Hence 1
never allow myself to take anothet
person's word for it; I'll wait and see it
I am bored. Some men begin by boring
you; but they end by endowing and
blessing you. I know a certain college
professor who is the most tedious per
son in the world for the first half day
that you are in his company. But aftoi
that ho seems to wake up; he lets yov
into his very soul. His company is thr
finest delight.
My experience is that they who talk
most about bores are themselves even
less careful about trying other people's
patlonce than ordinary mortals who do
not have so much to say on the subject.
Goodnature, sound health, a manly or
womanly hoarjt, full of sympathy for the
rest of mankind, is not very often bored.
We mortals are all here togother on the
footstool. Take us as we run, we are
not so very different oue from another.
The earth is filling up and elbows are
touching; square miles are being popu
lated. We must help and be helped.
We must learn to laugh at each other's
foibles and find the jewel in every
heart, for there certainly is one. It is
going to be a worse world for the over
sensitive soul who is only seeking his
own comfort and wants nothing from
the rest of us except what he can make
contribute to his own happiness.
Even the most incorrigible bore can
oe advised. Try it. Tell him kindly
that he is tiresome on certain lines.
You aro his friend. Get him right, and
frankly set him right. You will be sur
prised to discover how often the bore 1b
in perleet ignorance of his offense. H
be is a genuine good fellow, you will
see him blush with the shame of the
information; it will be unspeakably
painful to him; he can hardly bolleve
you at flrst. Hut later on he will thank
you fervently, and he will improve hit
manners, greatly to your own and hii
own social comfort and welfare. Therf
are few of us, however, who are inno
cent enough oui-sel.-.'s to attempt this
unless we say: "Tell me, as I toll you.
Sleeping on a Full Htomach.
Man is the only animal that does not
sleep well after hearty eating. Feed e
dog or a cat or any other animal at
much as it can cut. and it immediately
goes to sleep and i.lt-cps tumidly until
its meal is digested. Feed a man all he
can eat, and, if he oes t f 'eep at all,
he rolls and tosses and groans and yells
and wakes up in t,He in iruintf feeling as
though he had been passed through a
threshing maehiue. Vet this state ol
things is the result of habit. A baby
feds and goes to sleep; so do young
children, and only in manhood is tilt
habit of sleeping en an empty stomack
firmly fixed.

OLD LONDON CHURCHES.
The Pestilential Airs with Which They
Are Filled.
The church of St. Mary Woolnoth,.
which stands out conspicuously at the
KinR William street corner of Lombard
street, London, says the News of that
city, was closed ten months ago, and it
is clear from the statement of the rector
that the step was not premature. It
has been his unhappy lot to be often
startled in the course of his services by
a loud, yet muffled sound, evidently is
suing from the vaults under the church.
As these vaults are now "hermetically
sealed" the phenomenon may well have
excited the imaginations of timid mem
bers of the congregation. Mr. Brooke,
however, recognized the noises only too
well. They were caused by the falling
of leaden coffins, sometimes from a
height of ten or twelve feet, in conse
quence of the molderinp; away of the
coffins of oak and elm on which they
had been piled. It would be well il
the evils of this relic of our barbarous
system of intramural interment had
ended here. Unfortunately the process
of "hermetically sealiup;," according to
Mr. Brooke's evidence before the con
sistory court of St. Taul's cathedral
iias oeen anything: but "hermetical."
; Mr. Brooke declares that for years near
ly every official had died from the ef
fects, direct or indirect, of the unendur
able smell.
Arthur Stratham. thn rnncol .,
Renting the parish, stated that one
thousand six hundred and eighty-one
adults and four hundred and twenty
two children had been deposited in this
horrible receptable between 1700 and
18:!3. In the latter year, according to
Mr. Stratham, the vault was closed for
burials; but these burials in St Mary
Woolnoth, if burials they can be called
were continued for at least twelve
years after the latter date.
