HIS FIRST DEER.
The Hunter‘ Was Seized with Panic and
Failed to Shoot. _
Buck fever is a hunter’s disease, the
symptoms of which are pretty well
known, but they have seldom been
more feelingly described than 'by a
Marquette citizen, whose first experi-
ence in deer-shooting is related in the
Mining Journal.
After spending a few hours tramping
through the woods, feeling tired, he sat
down on a. log to rest. Like most hun-
ters, he had taken his pipe and tobacco
along. Filling the pipe, he smoked
for a time without interruption, when,
happening to turn his head a little to
one side, he saw a. large buck coming
straight toward him. As luck would
have it, he had sat down to smoke near .
a deer trail.
The deer came nearer and nearer,
until he was nearly opposite the place
where th hunter sat concealed. While
the hunter was watching the approach
of the deer he forgot that he had a.
gun, and that the deer was his meat.”
He began to tremble and shake in
every limb and joint, and it was diffi-
cult for him to restrain a yell of
f11ght
He watched and trembled until the
deer passed his hiding place, and went
into the thicket beyond. Then feeling ,
for his pipe, he discoverd that it lay
on the ground near his feet. By the
time he had picked it 11p the deer was
out of range, and then he discovered
that in his excitement he had bitten
the mouthpiece of his pipe in two.
He was greatly relieved to see the
deer move on, as it seemed to him
that he was the game and the deer
was the hunter.

It seems that Daniel Webster went
fishing when he wanted to compose the
finest passages in an oration. One oi.’
his biographers was with him on a
fishing excursion to Mashpee Brook,
on Cape Cod. Webster, at times, was
so deeply absorbed with. his own
thoughts that he 'held his hook out or
water. Suddenly wheeling, he extend-
ed one hand to the overhanging trees
and uttered the memorable sentences
in the Bunker Hill oration, addressed
to the survivors of the revolutiomand
beginning: “Venerable men, 'you
have come down to us from a former
generation." 011 the strength of this
precedent, fishing for eloquence is to
be recommended—St. Louis Globe-
