James Davis is probably the first
person who ever went deer hunting
on a bicycle. He was visiting Idanha
last week and, as the country there is
comparatively smooth and free from
underbrush, he borrowed a rifle from
a gentleman and went ont for a ride.
The inflated tire on his wheel allowed
of his travelling swiftly and noiselessly over the ground, strewn with pine
needles, and before he pedaled many
miles he came upon an unsuspecting
deer quietly browsing just ahead of
him. The result was that he killed the
deer and returned to the hotel with it
slung over his shoulders.—Salem (Ore.)

which some time ago showed signs of
losing their brilliancy. They were
what the experts call "111," and, as the
only cure, the pearls will have to be
again submerged in their original dement, and remain tn tbe sea for several years. Foe' this purpose divers
have built a sort of cage of rocks In
the Adriatic Sea, opposite the chateau
of Miramar, in which receptacle the
pearls will be put for their long bath.

An   Indian    Legend   of  m   Shower of   Meteoric M.uies.
The Sioux Indians have a legend that
is of interest now, telling aa it does
how an opposing army was put to
flight by a shower of meteorites. The
legend also explains a layer of stones
found oa the shores of the Canaon
Ball River. This river is one of tte
many streams of tte Northwest that
join to make the Big Muddy, a_-J
flows near the Standing Rock Agency.
' Along this stream, at a distance of four
or five miles from its mouth, may be
found hundreds and thousands of
stones, of all sizes. Tbere is nothing
extraordinary In this, tte reader may
think, but tbe extraordinary part ia
aot in tbe presence of tbe stones, but
iu their shape and weight Their sizes
range from a marble to that of globes
three feet in diameter. This is,
legend that accounts for the pre
of the stones: .
Many years ago, which ia Indiai
may mean fifty or a thousand yei
the Sioux Indians ranged supreme
along the Great Waters from ita hi
to its month. A mighty nation,
Crows, inhabited the land to the
of tte Sioux possessions, and betwei
the two there was constant warfai
The Crows were tte most powerful
point of numbers, but tte superior geri>
eralship of the Sioux more than over
balanced this, and heretofore the war
hud been a drawn affair. As time
passed, however, tte Crows became
m>re and more aggressive, and not a
week passed without great slaughter
on both sides. Bach day saw tte
numbers of the Sioux decreasing, until at last tte old chieftains realized
that their nation was dwindUng away.
and would eventuaUy become a part
of the victorious Crows. One day the
Crows gathered in force, and the Sioux
tribe felt this was to be the last of
their race. Then appeared Red Dog,
the Medicine Man. A wave of his
long bony arm stifled tbe crowd, and
he spoke:
"Brethren, the Crows have reinforced
their already powerful army. Some of
our most trusted warriors are among
them. They have provea themselves
traitors to the blood that binds tbem
to the Sioux. They have betrayed us
and doomed us to die. The Crows wfll
swoop down upon us and destroy
everything ia reach. Death and destruction wfll murk their path Our
only hope now is in tbe intervention
of tte Manltou, aad I will give libations that he may help ns to the hour
of .need. Our only safety now ia ia
flight to the river. When tte battle
comes on, tf tte good Manltou does
not save us, then tt is best to km ourselves, and when the time comes I
will give tte signal. Red Dog baa
spoken.   Mind his words."
Red Dog's prophetic words filled tte
warriors with gloom, and they began
to prepare for their flight to the river.
Once on the bank, further flight was
impossible, and preparations for battle were made. Singing loudly tbeir
war songs, the Crows dashed forward,
and arrows and spears fell thick and
fast among the Sioux. There was no
hope and Red Dog was just about to
give the signal for the members of tte
band to kill themselves, when tiiere appeared an ominous gathering in the
sky. The heavens assumed.a greenish
hue, a few drops of rain fell, and then
there came something harder. Pebbles
began dashing down on tte lighting
Indians, and the pebbles turned to
larger stones until they assumed a size
that meant death to all that were
struck. Down poured the cannon balls
of heaven upon the Crows, but, wonderful to relate, not one of the Sioux
was hit by the missiles from tte sky.
From that day the Sioux were unmolested by the otter tribes, and tte
round stones that are found ha such
abundance along the Cannon Ball
River are the relics of the day when
the Manitou answered the prayers of
Red Dog. This is the legend.—Chicago

Governor Flower on Good Roads.
In his speech to the farmers at tte
Orleans County Fair grounds, Governor Flower confined his remarks mainly to a discussion of public highways.
The farmer, the Governor thought, was
the chief beneficiary of good roads,
and yet It was a fact that he was easily scared when the question of taxing
him for road purposes waa broached.
New York State spends $3,000,000 a
year in money and labor for road improvement, and yet results are very
unsatisfactory. This is an average of
$50,000 for each county. That amount
of money scientifically expended each
year would build over seven miles of
good macadam road. Or, If tte county preferred to build roads faster, that
amount—less than that amount expended in interest oa bonds—would
provide money to build 140 miles of
macadam.
"Breiy farmer knows," said tte Governor, "that bad roads sometimes keep
him from town jvhen prices et grain
are high. Every farmer knows how
much larger a load his team would
pull if the roads were hard and
smooth Every farmer knows what
a considerable item la his annual expenses is the repair of wagons and
harness. Every farmer knows how
much more tt costs to keep three er
four horses instead of one or two, as
he might with equal service with •
system of good roads. Every farmer
knows that his farm would Increase in
value If by good highways It could be
brought into speedy communication
-with village or ehy. AU these things
our farmers know, and they know that
the sum of these pecuniary advantages
in favor of good roads would vastly
outweigh the cost of procuring them."
The Governor predicted that the time
would" come when automatic vehicles
would be used for transporting produce. Then good roads would be absolutely essential. Why not issue
| bonds now and let tte coming gener-
' ations, who wfll enjoy the good roads.
