on Wednesday, John Quick. of Green, Pa,
went out TO shoot woodehuck. He shot the
animal ss it sat summing itself at the mouth Of
its burrow, and it fell over. Quick walked
mp to pick up his game. He took hold OF one
Of the wOodehuek's fore legs, when the ami
nal let him know that II was not vet dead by
closing It's jaws on the hunters wrist. Its
teeth almost met in the hunters arm, and the
hold was not relaxed and the woodchuck died
with its teeth buried in the flesh. Quick was
unable TO get the jaws loose, and. having no
knife to cut them loose. he was obliged 70
walk mile home with the dead animal last
TO his wrist. By the time he reached home
his wrist and arm were badly swollen. Inc
jaws Of the woodchnck were cut loose and re-
moved. 1t is feared that Quick VIII lose his
arm.
Boston now has so many clubs that II Is
no wonder that persons are sometimes con-
fused as to the special purposes to which they
are respectively devoted. Where the names
Of clubs are similar, amusing mistakes some
times occur. Thus, person OF artistic tastes
sought admission TO the entertainment OF the
Paint ard OIL Club Saturday afternoon under
the impression that il was the Paint and Clay
Club, which had its first meeting of the season
last Wednesday evening. He was relieved on
being informed Of his mistake at the hotel
where the dinner was going on, and learned
that while the last named ASSOCIATION was OF
an aesthetic, the former was OF purely ousi-
ness character, "Paint and Oil'' standing for
the actual commodity dealt in. A similar
mistake was made some years ago by person
IN New York, who, reading an account OF the
proceedings Of the Papyrus Club, supposed IL
was an association Of learned Psychologists.

ONE Of the most startling and romantic fea-
lures Of border life occurred recently on the
Wild Horse prairie, thirty miles north of Los
Angeles. when a band Of wild horses, under
the lead Of a noble sorrel stallion, came gal
Looping over the plain to reconnoitre CON-
pany Of surveyors engaged in making sur
vey Of the tract. The band dashed toward
| Capt. Keller and his party to within about 800
| feet. when the leader halted In grandly
| proud and defiant manner, with neck curved,
| nOstrils dlstended, erect, and tan on dress
parade. and all the band ranged themselves
/ on each side OF him like a squad OF cavalry IN
| a battle charge. After surveying the scene
| for a moment the leader galloped proudly
away, followed by the band in the most grace
| full and digniied manner. The scene was
most romantic, and the picture OF the lordly
| leader with his most obedient subjects In
their feet and graceful motions, was worthy
/ Of an artists pencil. There was another band
| leadership Of a dark mahogany bay stallion,
/ with black name, tail and knees. In TINS
| band there are two white horses, while the
rest are bay and sOrrel mainly.
