SAVAGE DOGS DRIVE
DEER TO THE CITV
Several deer yere sedn oa the
Main strets of Jututu Monday night,
Dec. 31, one of which, was captured
by J. P. L. Graves, of the Juneau
Music house, who took the ani
mal to his -wood shed and imme
diately reported the occurrence to
Game Warden Frank Aldrich, says
the Dlsoatch.
Mr. Graves stated last night that
he ivas on his way home when he
heard te loud barking of dogs and
aoon a cry that W»s nearly human
near Fifth and East streets. On
nearing the spot, he saw three vi
cious dogs of the mongrel type
fighting with a deer in a email gul
ly. He frightened off the dogs
and picked the deer up in his
arms,shortly afterward meeting Dr.
Dawes who gave Mm a hand with
the animal as fax as his home. The
deer was badly torn from the fangs
of the doss but after a little care
it is expected to be as well as ever.
Game Warden Aldrich. took the
matter up with Governor Strong,
both stating that the deer was the
property of Mr. Graves who could
dispose of it as he saw fit.
It so happened that J. J. Mc
Tague, a rancher of Wrangell, who
has been stopping at the Alaskan
•hotel, was looking for a live doe
and he will probbaly take the deer
to his ranch.

FHE PLATE ON THE MUMMY.
Curious Story of a Prophecy That Wil
Fulfilled.
Visitors at museums often comment
on the sadness of the present Btate of
the Egyptian mummies who were
buried with such great rare in hope
that their rest might uever he disturb
ed. lJut such thoughts uever enter I be
minds of natives who pillage their an
cestors' graves, nor do they disturb the
more civilized explorer. To a supersti
tious person, however, a story of a
mummy that It- Catou Woodville tells
lu "ltandoin Recollections" might have
a sinister meaning.
After the ill fated expedition to re
lieve Gordon, Walter Ingram brought
to l.oudou the mummy of mi Kgyptiau
high priest that lie had bought from au
Arab near Assuan. When he unrolled
the mummy he found on its chest a
gold plate, upon :i was inscribed:
•lie who disturbs sny rest and tal.es
uic to it distant hind shall die a violent
.death. His bones shall ne'er be found.
l'h?y shall be scattered to the four
points of the world."
Shortly afterward Ingram went to
Soinaliland on a big game expedition,
lie had a four bore rilic and when lu
the elephant region got two good tusk
ers. So he lent ills ri:!e to one of liU
companions, who had not so heavy a
weapon, to give him a better chance of
bagging an ebphant. He himself
mounted a pony and went oft with
three Somalls, armed with a .-150 ex
press. which shoots bullets of only 200
grains, to bag an antelope or perhaps a
panther.
As luck would have It. Ingram came
upon a tine old rogue elephant with a
magulf.ccut pair of tusks. It was too
(Treat a temptation to l>e resisted. Gal
loping up to the elephant, the hunter
tired both barrets at the beast's fore
head from nli"iit fifteen yards. The
bullets flattened upon the animal's
skull aud only made him very angry.
Ingram galloped out of reach and re
loaded, rode up :>.i.d tiled again. with a
similar result; again galloped away aud
reloaded, and so on until he had ex
pended all of the cartridges.
As he was galloping away after his
last shut, with the furious brute hi pur
suit. his pony suddenly stopped stock
|still, apparently for no reason what
ever. The elephant thundered up,
whisked the hunter out of the saddle,
dashed him to the ground and tram
pled him to death. The tragedy occur
red in the bed of a dry uullah and was
witnessed by the three Somalis, who
had climbed for safety to the tops of
trees. They were armed only with
spears, which, of course, were useless
weapons against the elephant After
the brute had gone they climbed down,
dug a ho!e with their spears, placed the
body of poor Ingram in it and returned
to camp with their sad story.
Some time afterward Mrs. Ingram,
i the hunter's mother, sent out an expe
dition to find and bring hack to Eng
land the remains of her sou. The spot
was found, but two rainy seasons had
passed, and the dry nullah had become
a roaring river that had washed away
the remains t.> the four points of the
earth. Thus was the prophecy fulfilled.
Don't Shut Yourself Up In an Office.
Tile man who shuts himself up In an
otlice makes a great mistake, thinks
Thomas E. Wilson, the Chicago packer.
Iu the American Magazine he says:
"The trouble with the executive who
Is too inaccessible is that he loses more
by the arrangement than anybody else.
In shutting i tht-rs out he shuts him
self In—away from the numerous ad
vantages of personal contact and points
of view. There's nothing like looking
a man in the eye and hearing his story
to get at the meat of a situation. Most
executives prefer to have everything
brought to their attention in writing.
That plan may bo a time saver, but my
own experience has been that it will
pay to get all information possible by
face to face interviews."
Lessons Learned by Divers.
Experiments made by the British ad
miralty and the United States navy
prove that deep sea diving Is feasible.
It has been found that the shorter the
time a diver takes In getting to the bot
tom the better, because his body ab
sorbs less nitrogen. Also, the diver
must have at least one and one-balf
cubic feet of air per minute at all
depths. Lactug the legs of the diver's
suit Increases his stability and permits
him to come to an erect position with
ease. It also lessens the danger of his
falling or being suddenly blown to the
surface.—Popular Science Monthly.
Just as Good.
"Doctor, my husband Is troubled
with a buzziug noise In his ears."
"Better have him go away for a
month."
"But he can't get away."
"Then you go."—Boston Transcript.

Hotel Cooking.
Far too many hotel proprietors over
the Union insist on trying to pattern
their hotels after the Manhattan island
mode and succeed in reproducing it in
nothing except the price tariffs. A na
tive cook who can do wonders with a
trying size pullet and a hot skillet
makes a woeful mess of the job when
he tries to render the poor fowl up in a
casserole with Frenchified trimmings.
