ot the 12rlggs Hotel. In all his hotel
work he achieved great success.
Hacked by sucb splendid experience, Mr.
Pay lor was Just the man for the Commercial,

change hands. He brought with him a most
thorough executive ability and a determination
to make a success where others had
failed.
On August 1st, this year, Mr. Paylor took
charge of the Commercial in this city. He
found it in the hands of a receiver, with Its
business badly run down and saw at once
tbat he had a Held open for him to display his
abilities as a hotel manager.
He set to work with a will and any one wbo
takes a meal or spends a day at the Commercial
now will be ready, willing and anxious to
pay him the highest tribute.
Mr. Paylor has had a great deal of work
done In repapering, repainting and general

Autflo-Saxon or American?Which T!
Editor Press and Banner, #
Dear sir: The majority of the speakers and
of the newspapers of this country Of.onrs
seems to be affected, more or less, with
chronic Anglo-Saxonmania; they Indeed
rarely miss the occasion to represent the
Americans as an Anglo-Saxon race.
I wish somebody wonld tell me by which
occult and subtile trick, the mere fact of
landing upon the soil of America, is sufficient
to make up the total or partial deficiency of
Anglo-Saxon blood that may exist In the
emigrants to this country and bring them to
the regular standard of the Anglo Saxon
race.
I The answer to this question may Interest.
many who came In America from the different
parts of the old world without a single
atom of Anglo Saxon blood in their veins and
who would, I am confident, learn curiousely
how they have become Anglo-Saxon blooded.
For me, when I examine the numerous and
various elements composing the American
nation, I come to the conclusion that these
elements have been sufficiently mixed up,
fused or compounded, for two centuries, to
form, at present so to speaK. an entirely new,
distloct and it Is to be hoped, superior product.
1 understand, therefore, that the orators and
the press of this country should cease their
Inconsiderate discrimination that consists In
noticing the Anglo Saxon race and In ignoring
the many other, no less valuable, races who
have contributed and continue to contribute
to the formation of the American nation, and
should. Instead, be proud to make boast of
The Amerloan Race.

AN A It KANSAS DICER HUNT.
It was in Arkansas and not very
long ago. A party of northern men
were there prospecting for timber
land, and beiug keen sportsmen decided
to avail themselves of the chance
of a lifetime to enjoy a deer hunt on
horseback.
They were in" a wild, sparsely settled
part of the state where deer abounded,
and as every lanky, ague-stricken
native possessed not less than one
gaunt, hungry-looking hound for
every tow-headed child that called
him "rlndilv ? those wllO kUOW IlOW
large a proportion of the population of
the state is composed of tow-headed
children will readily understand that
our sportsmen anticipated no trouble
in securing a large and variegated
pack of hounds.
It was therefore without a misgiving
that they reined in their hordes beside
the rough rail fence surrounding a
rude log cabin. Within aud scattered
about the inclosure were several towheads,
who scuttled shyly away at the
approach of the strangers. Seated in
the open door of the cabin was a dirty
faced, sorrowful-looking woman, who
listlessly eyed our party through the
half closed lids of her watery blue
eyes.
"(Jood morning, madam,ventured
the spokesman. ''Isyour husband at
home ?"
The woman rose languidly to her
feet, removed the snuff stick from her
mouth and discharged a volume of
liquid extract of tobacco. A gaunt
sow of the razor back variety, training
at her heels a numerous progeny,
pushed from under the cabin, gavean
inquiring grunt at the northerners and
began rooting industriously in the
ground at the woman's feet.
11 rn i? "looo mo noma flint
IliC lusi ?xij y.
madam," the woman replied; drawlingly,
"an' in th' secou' place, my
husbau' ain^t 'ome. Ef yer th' she'iff
com' ter 're-<t 'im, yer'li be 'bleeged
ter ride further."
She was assured that the .party had
no designs upon her husband's liberty,
but to secure thb loan of a pack of
hounds was their.mission.
"We ain't ?ot no houn's an'
never had none," she replied, still
suspicious, as she walked to the fence.
"Say, tbar, mister," she exclaimed
excitedly, pointing to the hand of one
of the party, ain't that thing er
diraont ?"
"It i9" the owner of the diamond replied.
"Would you like to look at it?"
he asked, drawing from his finger a
ring in which a small diamond waai
set.
"An' ken I take it in my own j
ban' ?" she asked eagerly. . i
"Certainly," was the reply. "Put ft;
on your finger and see how it looks
there."
With the light of other days shining
in her faded eyes, she tremblingly
pushed the ring on her bony, knotted
forefinger. Slowly she turned her
hand about,' watching with a pleased
childlike expression the scintillations
of the stone. Theu, with a sigh, the
ring was withdrawn and returned to
the owner.
"Whut wus it you saia erooui
wantin'ter borry some houns'?" she
asked, after a moment's silence.
"We simply wish to borrow the
dogs for to-morrow, when we intend
having a deerhunt." ,
"Wall," she replied, heeitatinely,
"I reck in I kin get yersome." Then
walking briskly to the cabin door, she
took down a long cowhorn that hung
on a nail, and, placing it to her lips,
blew three loud blasts. A moment
later we heard musical note's of an
answering blast come from somewhere
in the dense woods back of the cabin.
It was not a great while before a
man, who carried in his hand a long
barreled rifle, appeared on the further
I side of the clearing and cautiously
approached the party.
. "Hit's all right, Jake," the woman
shouted, "they ain't after you."
' Mornin' strangers. 'Light an'
come in. Th' ol' woman'll have er
snack ready in er minute," the man
called cheerily. "Houn's? Yes sir
ree bob. You shooly have struck the
right place fer houn's. I've got fifteen,
big an' little, an' Brer Bill, who lives
acrost Chicken Thief creek, he's got
er dozen er mo'. An' then ol' man
Qoiight, over on Pigeon lloost, has
got nigh onter twenty.
He was informed that fifteen would
be sufficient, provided tbey would run
a deer.
"Humph," hegrunted contemptuously,
"they'll run anything fur a rabbit
to eryelerphant."
The sun had just risen tbe next
morning.when the party again drew
rein at the cabin.
"'toornin' gentlemen. 'Light an'
have ersnack. Wall, ef yer won't yer
won't, I reckon. I'd go with yer, but
I'v got some business to tend ter over
yan," the Arkansan added apologetically,
pointing to the woods back
of the cabin. "Better take thish yeah
hawn, er th' dawgs won't foller."
In his younger days one of the party
bad learned the art of extracting from
a cow's horn the few notes of wbich it
is capable, and after a number of
ludicrous failures he succeeded finally
in awakening the Interest of the dogs,
'and with tbe pack trailing behind,
the party rode away. Soon tbey
reached the end of the river bottom
an^l tbe hunt began. Striking off
from the road into the jungle of bushes
and cane, lofty treeB and Innumer
aoie interlacing vine, mey careruny
picked their way along a cow path,
the hounds far in^ advance. The sun
was well on towards the meridian
before a sound was heard from the
dog9. Then the musical, half-mournful
cry of a hound was hefu*d. Soon
another joined "in, then another aud
another, until the entire pack was in
full cry. -i.
Heedless of the stinging blows of
cane and bushes, thebuuters whipped
up their horses stumbl ing aud flou ndering
through the switch cane and vines,
and they were pretty well spent when
a stretch of open woods was reached.
Far in advance the hindmost dogs,
tails high in the air and noses close to
the ground, were seen tearing along
in the wake of their leaders.
"There goes the deer," shouted the
foremost one of the hunters. "It's a
buck with magnificent antlers."
"Whoop!" And with wild yells the
men lashed their horses along, but
the place soon told on the tired animals
and their speed slackened. The m^isic
of the hounds dr?*w gradually away
until it was almost lost in the distance,
and the hunters were beginning to
despair or even getting a shot at the
deer. Then it was noticed that thenrv
of tbe dogs was becoming louder.
Nearer they came. Louder swelled the
music. The air became full of it, and
the echoes in the hills awoke.
' The deer is doubling back," cried
r>ne of the party. "Let us get ready for
him."
Excitedly the men dismounted arid
tethered their horses, then, with guns
held nervously :it ready, they waited
the approach of the chase. On came
I he hounds, their voices becoming
clear aud distinct. Nearer?nearer?
md the men, with every nerve ptruug
to its utmost tension, poiuted the
wavering muzzles of their guns
towards the dense growth of switeh
:'ane through which the deer must
- *
come. A crashing and floundering in (
the cane was followed immediately by
the deafeniug report of both barrels of
the shotgun. A dense cloud of blue
smoke hung in the motionless air,
enshrouding the men and blotting out
the canebrake. Then the smoke was
scattered by a gentle breeze, and the
one who had tired was seen leaning on
his gun, pale and trembling.
"A clear miss! Why didn't you
wait until you had a better sight ofi
the deer?"
"I-er I didu'tsee it all," I managed
to reply, that sinking feeling in my
stomach having become by that time
somewhat bearable.
"Well, why did you fire?"
" ! ! ! !" chorused the
others.
When the hounds reached the place
where the crashing had been heard
they turned abruptly toward the hills
and we followed them. The sun was
hanging low in the west, and the frosty
chill of a November night was stealing
over us as we struck higher ground
and open woods. The dogs, still in
fury, were not far ahead of us and We
whipped our horses into a swinging
gallop. Soon we saw in front of us a
clearing and in its center a log cabin,
surrounded by the usual rail fence.
As we reached the edge of the clearing
we saw a gaunt, long-legged animal, its
tail carried well aloft, nimbly leaped
the fence and come to a stand, panting
and breathless' beside, the cabin.
"Whut in blazes d'you fellers wanter
be er chasing my cow fer ?" a- voice
asked irately, and we ,saw emerging
from the house a man who carried a
long-barreled rifle. "Thought she
wuz er deah ? Uv all the blankety
blank fools I ever seen ! Can't tell er
cow fum er deah !" . ? '. -
We settled the damages and in silent
discrust tamed our hoiBfes towards the'
cabin of the owner of the dogs..' ^ ;1 "
Whatrbeconue of those fine antlers ?V
I asked with ill-timed sarcasm.
"Guess she mast have shed them'
when 'you shot at the deer," was the
tart reply, and I relapsed into a silence
tbat became painful.
