hshed before with great SUCCESS and had hardly
placed my pole in order and commenced to bait
my hook when | heard a great commntion
in the woods near Ivy and saw an animal that
looked to me Ikea wolf or bear making straight
for me. l dropped my pole, seized my gun,
took good aim. and blazed away. The beast
turned aud. believing with pain, ran back to
the woods, | in pursuit.
The neXt minute heard a mans voice in great
anger yelling:
"Who hred tina shot I will be darned II
som darned fool did not shoot that calf =,
You ought TO have seen me run. l believe l
did not stop until l reached home. and the
worst Of it was l forgot pole and hShipg-tackle.
When l related to my wife and mother-ir-lRw
what happened to me. they both as with one
voice. exclaimed What q blind fool you are,

Two Good Canadian Stories.

10 The Editor !
Five years ago l was on q claim Of 100 acreF,

on coming out Of the shRnty, saw over the level
prairie four or five sand hill cranes. on the edge
OF n pond. distant about four hundred yards.
| turneDinto the shanty for nm old Schneider
rifle, put in q cartridge, sighted for 400 yards,
laid the rifle over the end Of q barrel and fired.
Thu, cranes all flew except one, which conld
see hoppirg around on the prairie. On getting
up to II l found thai the bullet had cut through
the back of its long, slender neck, about three
inches below the head.
When You take into !consideration tho fact
that their neck II fully eighteen inches long, 1t
was q wonderful chance shot.
The following Winter, while working in q
lumber camp in the Riding Mountains, seventy
miles north, l was chopping. branches of . tree

swinging the axe to the right, q bear which had

ing specimens Of natural history, saw q
Dyal ascend large tapang tree, five feet
in diameter at the base, straight as a
ships mast, and without the Bmallc.s
limb or knot for 800 feet up.
The man went up the tree to secure a
bees nest hanging from the under side of
the lowest limb. The nest was simply
large, naked, triangular piece of white
comb.
a Dyak 'laddcr' had been put MP the
previous year, and reached from the
ground TO the branches. 1t consisted of
seven twenty foot bamboo poles held al
most end to end alongside the trunk by
sharp pegs driven into the soft wood
about two feet apart
The pegs Were driven first on one side
Of the poles and then ON the other, and
60 them the bamboOs were dashed by rat
CANS, which held them firmly about eight
inches from the tree. These pegs served
as the rJmgs of the ladder.
The builder must have been bolq
man, with nerves of steel. lie was
obliged TO let the ends of the poles over
lap a few feet in order to build the LADDER
with safety to himself
The completion of the ladder was most
difficult. Clinging to the slight bamboo
pole, 100 feet from the ground. he haaied
up the last bamboo, twenty feet long,
drove in the peg, dashed the lower end 81
the pole to it, and then assembled that
hhaking bamboo to fasten il at the top.

G. F. COLLEGE.

We give up large portion of our
space this week to a "Write-up" of
Cumberland Female College, tOgeth-
er with a handsome picture of the
buildings and grounds as they now
appear. This needs no apology, as
it will prove of much interest to all
of our regular readers, as well as to
many Others into whose hands six
hundred extra copies we send out
will fall. We have no other institu-
ton in which the people Of McMinn-
vile feel more interest or pride than
they do in Cumberland Female Col
lege, and no other agency has done
so much to carry McMinnville's
name and fame abroad as has this
school. The equipment of the school,
both as to buildings and apparatus, is
surpassed by no other school in the
South, and the faculty for the COM
ing session is perhaps the strongest
and best the school has ever had.
The school and all ofits surroundings
are all that could be required by par
ents who want their daughters edu-
Gated for useful and accomplished
women. A more desirable or more
healthful town than McMinnville
cannot be found in the State, and G.
F. College possesses numerous advan-
tages and attractions not enjoyed by
any other school in the State. The
many hundreds of noble women who
have gone out from its portals educat-
ei,accomplished, and fitted for all the
duties of life furnish a living teStimo-
ny of the high order of the school.
All the surroundings of the school,
as well as the influences within its
walls,are conducive to the highest de.
velOpment of the minds and charac.
tiers of the pupils,and everything that
can aid in their proper training is a
hand. Every person interested in fe.
male education should carefully pc
ruse the article published today, and
correspond with the faculty before
placing their daughters or wards in
school.
The postoffice address of Prof. n.
j. Finney, President Of the College
during the months of July and Au
gust, will be Texarkana, Texas, and
if parties interested will write hin
there he will either call on or cores
pond with them.

THE DOUBLE TAXATION MATTER,

Following the lead of some of our
State exchanges, which we presumed
were properly informed upon the
matter, we fell into error some two
or three weeks ago and criticised our
last Legislature for enacting a reve-
nue. bill subjecting manufacturing es-
Establishments to double taxation. We
saw it stated that this act taxed all
manufacturing establishments upon
their plants as corporations, and then
also subjected the individual holders
of stock to taxation on the same.
Col. John H. Savage, who was
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee which drafted and sub
mitted this bill, has called our atten-
ton to the error. The revenue act of
1887 was open to the charge Of double
taxation, but that Of 1889 is not, in
proof of which we quote from the
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1889-07-13
