probably killed more pantbers on oue single
hunt than any other hunter that ever lived.
He killed seven in less than one hour. H.
was hunting one day n The spring of 1918
aud when in the nrighborhO ID Of Long pond
discovered pantbpr's den. Il had two kilt
tens 10 il, the old paulhprs being away 90

young ones aud started home with them
placing them inside his bunting shirt. H.
hadn't gone far before BIZ heard the mother
yelling behind him. He knew be was IN
fer a fight, aud placed himself in position
to do bis best. Pretty sO0O the psGtbe'
came tearing along through the woods
When she caught sight Of Dodge, she bound
I'd to within thirty feet Of m. aud crouehrd
for a spring. He shot her. but did not kill
her. Her cries were terrible. aud Dodge
knew that in a short time any other panthers
there might be in the vicinity would sOou
hasten to the scene She was disabled, aud
another shot put an end to her. Then Dodg'
made for the pond, which was halt mile OF
so away. Cries from all sides told him tha
he was not yet through with bis work. By
the time be reached the pond, be could heal
psuthers eaping through the branches Of lh'
trees. A panther will not enter water
Dodge wadsd out as far as be- could aud pre-
pared for Business. Within gunshot Of him
be- discovered five Large pnuthrrs in the trees
He killed one at the first FIRE. Tbs lOur
mpwi0g Of the kittens under bis shirt cOull
evidently be heard by the old pauthers, TO
none of them left the spot at the sound Of sh'
guu. They BOUNDED frautically 10 tb
branches, and two OF them rushed to til
waters edge aud lssbed their tails 10 fury
Dodge shot both of these, and killed tb
other two, aud two more that reinforced them
without leaving his tracks 10 the pond. Tb
skin Of the largest Of these psnthprs is Ell
preserved by the family. Dodge took th
kittens home. but as they grew. they be
cams so savage that they had to be killed.

Fifteen MInu,es to SPARE"
by HALLE c. YOUNG.

o, youth, in life's bright rosy morn,
Whist sunbeams gild thy way
And thoughts intense within the burn,
BE mindful OF to-day!
The present thou mayst claim for thine
The futures dream most fair
Think twice ere thou dost squander, the
Thy " fifteen minutes to spare"
And should comrade say to thee:
We'll shun the narrow way.
And eat, and drink. aud merry be,
For to morrow wei away :"
Turn thou at once the tempter scorn
Who spreads for thee snare;
Touch not, nor taste, but be man
In thy" fifteen minutes to spare"
There are treasures scattered on the plain
That await searching hand,
And coral wreaths in the billOwy main
And grains of gold in the sand;
There are gems OF lrarning snugy hid
Aud bright thoughts, here and there
That may be thine to revel amid
In thy fifteen minutes to spare"
The transient raindrops Of a day
Help make the sparkling rill,
And it, in turn, doth haste away
To help old ocean fill.
If thou wouldst wear a starry crown
Mid angel bands up there,
Then earn the jewels, one by one,
In thy = fifteen minutes to spare"
