r\ TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. TBo fc ory Tc!d of Two Canadian Trappers. A Narrow Escape. Once or twice lie showed a curious ro hictance about allowing a man to approach him sudtleuly from behind. Altogether his actions were so odd that I felt some curiosity to learn his history. It turned out that ho had been through a rat her un canny experience the winter before. lie and another man had gone into a remote basin, or inclosed valley, in the heart of the mountains, where gatno was very plentiful, indeed, it was so abundant that they decided to pass the winter there. Accordingly they put up a log cabin, work ing hard, and merely killing enough meat for their immediate use. Just as it was finished winter set in with tremendous snow storms. Going out to hunt, in the first lull, they found, to their consterna tion, that every head of game had left the valley. Not an animal was to bo found therein; they had abandoned it for their winter haunts. The-outlook for the two adventurers was appalling. They were afraid of trying to break out through the deep snow drifts, and starvation stared them in the face if they staid. The man that I met had his dog with him. They put themselves on very short commons, so as to use up their Hour as slowly as possible, and hunted unweariedly, but saw nothing. Soon a violent quarrel broke out be tween them. The other man, a fierce, sullen fellow, insisted that the dog should be killed, but the owner was exceedingly attached to it, and refused. For a couple Df weeks they spoke no words to each other, though cooped in the little narrow pen of logs. Then one night the owner of tho dog was wakened by the animal crying out; tho other man had tried to kill it with his knife, but failed. Tho provisions wero now almost exhausted, and the two men wero glaring at each other with the rage of maddened, raven ing hunger. Neither dared to sleep, for fear that the other would kill him. Then the ono who owned tho dog at last spoke, and proposed that, to give each a chance for his life, they should separate. lie would take half of the handful of flour that was left and start off to try to get home; the other should stay where ho was, and if lie tried to follow the first ho was warned that lie would be shot with out mercy. A like fate was to bo tho portion of th wanderer if driven to re turn to the hut. The arrangement was agreed to and tho two men separated, neither daring, to turn his back while they were within rifle shot of each other. For two days the one who wont off toiled on with weary weakness through tho snow drifts. Late on tho second afternoon, as ho looked back from a high ridge, ho saw in the far distance a black speck against tho snow, coming along on liis trail. Ilis companion was dogging his footsteps. Immediately he followed liis own trail back a little and laid in am bush. At dusk hi3 companion came stealthily up, rifle in hand, peering cau tiously ahead, his drawn face showing the starved, eager ferocity of the wiia beast, and the man lie was hunting shot him down exactly as if he had been ono. Leaving tho body where it foil, the wan derer continued his journey, the dog stag gering painfully behind him. The next evening lie baked his last cako and divided it with the dog. In the morning, with liis belt drawn still tighter round his skel eton body, he once moro set out, with ap parently only a few hours of dull misery between him and death. At noon ho crossed the track of a huge timber wolf; instantly the dog gave tongue, and, rally ing its strength, ran along tho trail. The man struggled after At last liis strength gave out and lie sat down to die, but while sitting still, slowly stiffening with tho cold, ho heard tho dog baying in tho woods. Shaking off his mortal numbness, he crawled towards the sound, and found tho wolf over the body of a deer ho had just killed, and keeping the dog from it. At the approach of the new assailant the wolf sullenly drew off, and the man and dog tore tho raw deer flesh with hideous eagerness. It made them very sick for tho next twenty four hours; but, lying by the carcass for two or three days, they recovered strength.— Theodore Roosevelt in The Century. Dudes Among tho Crows. In personal appearance the Crow Indian men are fine looking—tall and well formed. The women are small ahd in ferior in appearance, and are not as vir tuous as other plains Indians. Their vocal language is coarse and harsh, and does not seem to have a rich vocabulary. They are poor in tradition. The men cut the hair squarely off round the forehead, leaving this bang from four to six inches in length, which, when in full dress, is made to stand upright by dressing it with clay, which is sometimes made more ad hesive by admixture with a sticky sub stance obtained by boiling gummy weeds and bushes. The side hair is at times braided and tho hair on the back of the head separated into several ‘strips,” which are held in place by glue placed at regular intervals. To give them the ap pearance of very long hair, of which they are extremely proud, that which has been cut off in mourning, or that taken from their ponies’ tails and manes, is glued on to lengthen it out, They do not pull out eyebrows or lashes. In dress the men wear the hooded coat made of blanket. At the shoulder, wrist of the coat and down tho leggings a coarse fringe is fastened. Tho women wear short skirts made of raw material, and care little for colored ribbons or trinkets.—Fort Keogh (M. TANARUS.) Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer. Ho Was Perfectly Satisfied. The officer at the Third Street depot found two men jawing, and after sending one away said to the other: “You are very foolish to get up a wrangle here.” “But ho threatened to hit me on th> snout!” protested the stranger. “Yes, but what do you care?” ‘I don’t care about his threat, but it was his language. I protest -against tho term ‘snout!’ ” “Ho meant nose, I presume.” “I presumo so, but why didn t he say *o? That's what I was asking him, and that’s what I want to know. lie could have just as well told me in a quiet, genteel way that he would hit me in the nose, and ho might even have hit mo.” “Well, you’d better let him alono.” Re didn’t, though. He slipped away and renewed the controversy, and ten minutes later he came back with his nose kuoekod into the middle of last week and one eye closing. “1 told you,” said the officer. "Are you satisfied now?” “I am, sir. It’s snout, and a mighty bad onel” —Detroit Free Press. At tho Paces. There had been several falsa starts in the great race of tho day. Mr. O’Brien was much aggravated. “Oi don’t see,” he said, "why, afther they’ve shtarted, they don’t let ’em ehtart, whether they fihtart or not.”—Harper’s Bazar.
