A WILD RIDE FOR LIFE AND A MAR
ROW ESCAPE

There are no more to be dreaded than
timber wolves, especially when pressed
by hunger. Then they became veritable
demons, and woe upon the living thing
whose trail they happen to cross.
They at once begin a merciless chase
and continue it untiring, rivaling in
speed and endurance the most sinewy
horse. Nothing daunts them. Shoot
one down and he is instantly devOured
by the rest of the pack, who thereupon
rush forward with unchecked courage
and appetites but whetted by their un-
natural feast. Fire alone can hold them
at bay.
With these ugly brutes it was my luck
to have an adventure the second spring
after we settled on Major Creek, Col,
SAYS a writer in Golden Days. | was then
lad of 10, small of my age, but wiry,
and as capable of enduring fatigue as
any man, while no one in the valley could
excel me in riding after cattle, throwing
lasso or sticking to bucking bronco.
Late one afternoon | was returning
from trip up the mountain side on my
plucky little pony Selim. As l drew
rein to let the pony regain his breath,
noted with start of surprise that 1t had
grown very late. -,
"Come, ,Selim, we must get out of this, !"
| said to the pony, with a shake OF the
rein, but before he could take step for
ward, from a piniOn shrouded gulch to
my left, arose deep, long drawn howl.
The moment after another rang out clear
and ominous from the opposite side OF
Hayden Pass.
Then a third and fourth sounded from
| a cottonwood thicket that nestled in a
gulch at my rear.
''Its the wolves, and they have us al.
most surrounded. Go it, SelimV l cried
as gave him the rein.
Half wild with fear, he rushed of
down the mountain side.
That was a mad ride for life. Now we
dashed under the low hanging boughs of
a stunted cedar, next we leaped fallen
tree top. scattering dry branches right
and left, and then we jumped deep
gully or went headlong off ledge OF
rock, not seen in the dim light until too
late to avoid them.
Somehow we reached the bottom OF
the pass in safety, and flew down the
narrow trail to the mouth of the canyon.
"Down grade and clear trail. Go it,
| Seliml We'll beat them YETI l cried.
And the little horse lay low upon the
| ground, while the echo OF his hoot beats
rang a rhythmical echo of triumph upon
the hard packed soil,
But glancing over my shoulder thro'
the twilight saw pack of flying shad'
ows horribly close at our heels. The
howling had ceased long since, as the
wolves were now saving their breath to
chase their prey.
"Faster-faster, Selimln shouted.
And the pony sprang forward with in
creased speed, only to stumble and fall

A SINGERS ROYAL GUEST.

Victoria at an Informal Tea

Row Madam Albani EntertaIns QuRen
Victoria at an Informal Tea.
Once every summer Queen Victoria
drives over from her Balmoral Castle to
the Scottish Highlands, home of Madam
Albani-Gye, the famous prima-donna,
where the latter entertains her at an in
formal tea. For years the Queen has
made practice of this, a compliment
which Her Majesty bestows upon no 9th
er woman in the kingdom. 1t return
for Madam Albani's appearance each
year at Court to sing before the Queen,
and to the prima-dOnna it affords an ex
ceptional glimpse of England'S royal
sovereign.
''No outsiders are ever present." says
Madame Albani, land see Victoria as
woman; never as a queen
''HOw do you entertain your royal
guest?n was asked of the prima-dOnna
by friend.
And for more than an hour the great
singer held the uninterrupted interest of
a private dinner party with a story of
how she served tea for the Queen.
So full of interest was the narrative
that Madame Albani was induced to
write out the account, and it will shortly
appear III The Ladies Home Journal, Of
Philadelphia, under the title of Vic
toria at My Tea-Table." OF its fresh
ness of interest the caption of the article
is the best indication.
A copy of the last portrait taken of
Queen Victoria, and printed only for Her
Majesty and the royal family, will ac-
company the article. 'It will be my last
portrait wrote the queen on this present
alton copy. which is the only copy pos
sessed outside of the royal household.

CORRESPONDENCE.
From our California Correspondent.


ORANGE, Cal, Dec. 8, 1890.
To the Editor Of the Bdnner:-DEAR
S1R:-I wonder if your readers would
like to hear what we in California are
doing this winter day. Well, the first
thing that saw as looked out of my
window this morning, was bed of rip
ening and growing tomatoes and sweet
potatoes. went out into the garden
and saw the figs growing on the trees,
and the water melons on the vines.
Then when l went around to the other
side Of the house, the young man at the
next place was busy at work cutting
down his field of alfalfa clover with a
moving machine.
1t is perfect June day for Vermont.
The oranges are growing red on the
trees; they are very sour yet but beauti-
full. The nuts, almonds, English wal
nuts and peanuts, in great quantities and
the apples and pears have nearly all been
harvested and are being shipped away.
The peaches, apricots, prunes and raisins
have been dried and shipped. But now
the grass begins to grow and the grain
is being sowed for the spring harvests.
This is our most active part of the sea.

summer is the most busy time, as the
orchards must be irrigated and cultivated
continually.
We had family day at Ontario recent.
ly, of which some of your readers will
be interested to hear. My mother, Mrs
Hiram Harwood, celebrated her 90tl
birthday. Her three sons and youngest
daughter were, with others, permitted tC
attend. 1t was happy day. Father
nearly 92 years of age still in perfec
health, though infirm, was able to enjo!
the occasion. AS sat there conversinl
with these aged parents, it seemed to mt
that never saw my mother more intel
ligent and sprightly in mind or more
perfectly possessed Of all attractiveness
and never more enjoyed a visit witt
her. But the day wat tinged with sad
ness. Alfred, the youngest of her sons
had just lost, by An accident, his oldes
son Alfred James, promising younl
man in his 18th year and just fitted fo
college. And Kate the youngest daugh
ter, had little while before buried hel
eldest daughter, bright little nine yea
old girl who was the victim of what wa
really an accident also. But in boil
cases the great sorrow is lightened by
greater hope, for both were bright intel
ligent Christians, trained to Christian
life in its brightest and most attractiv
surroundings. j. II. HARDWOOD.

WHITE CREEK, N. Y, Dec. 13, 1890.
This being my seventy first birthday,
I will give few of my thoughts Of the
changes that have taken place in my ma
tive town Bennington. There are but
few il any more houses in Bennington
Centre than there were at that time, but
the place has changed some in many
ways. The postOffice, printing office,
stage houses, academy, court house, Jail,
several stores, and the only church in the
town, were then on the Hill. Now the
Battle Monument marks the site Of most
of what was once considered as Benning-
ton. There are not probably ten persons
that were born in Bennington Centre,
previous to 1920, living in that place, and
there cannot be thirty found in the
whole town. What was then known as
EAST Village" contained butfew houses
and is now much larger than the whole
town at that time. We find there court
house, Jail, churches, stores, factories,
mills, markets, lumber yards, two print
ing offices, foundrys, tin shops, pottery,
and all that is needed to make a place
prosperous. Cars now take the place oil
the old stages.
About sixty years ago l carried the
Vermont Gazette to the east part of Pow
nal and the old furnace grounds. 1t tool
seventy-five papers to supply my route
and there were three other routes. An
thony j. Haswell carried to East Ruperi
and intermediate places. For fifty years
it took about 900 papers to supply al
subscribers and it was more work to ge
them off than ten thousand copies woult
be at this time.

Old Nursery FavOrites.

There was Tom, the Son of the Piper,
Jack Sprat, and Merry King Cole,
And the three Wise Men of Gotham,
Who went TO sea in bowl;
The woman who rode on a broomstick,
And swept the cobwebed sky,
And the boy who sat in the corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
These were some Of the old Favorites,
but they have been supplanted by the
"Pansy'' and "ChatterbOx'A stories,
Little Lord Fauntleroy,p and Five
Little Peppers" The Old fashioned
pills and physics have been superseded,
and wisely, too, by Pierce's Purgative
Pellets, mild, harmless and effective
cathartic. They are pleasant TO take-so
gentle in their action that the delicate
child can take them, yet so effective that
they win cure the most obstinate cases Of
constipation, stomach, liver and bowel
trouble. They should be in every nur-
sery. As gentle laxative, only one for
a dose.

terror, and knew that the savage brutes
had Overtaken him at last.
Out of breath and still trembling from
the effects of my fall, | sat down at the
foot of tree TO rest; but now the howls
of the wolves again rang in my ears.
Having finished my faithful pony they
were coming back for me.

And then bethought me that | at

Drawing them forth struck one, and
with trembling fingers held it to a tuft
of dry grass.
Instantly tiny flame shot up. This

tie twigs, until had bright blaze burn

baffied wolves were circulating around
and around the space illumined by the
freight, while some of the bolder ones
even entered foT moment its outer
boundary.
At first fed the fire freely, but as the
night wore on, and the savage brutes
showed no signs of leaving, | began to
ecOnOmize on fuel. The ground beneath
the pine tree was Uttered with the fallen
needles, cones and dry branches of years,
but they burned very fast, and already
had made great inrOads upon them.
1t must have been about nine o'clock
when second pack of wolves joined
those already guarding me. The new
corners were evidently regarded as in
truders, for they were greeted with an
CRY snarls, and finally both packs in
dulged in rough and tumble fight.
As they struggled together, now and then
group were forced within the circle of
freight, and shuddered as | saw their
pitiless white fangs and glaring eyes.
But the savage animals soon tired of
rending each other, and returned to their
old occupation of ceaselessly tramping
around my firelit space
Thus the hours dragged wearily past,
until from the position of the stars
knew that it lacked but few hours of
daybreak, and now the fire began to
burn low. Every cone and twig from
beneath the tree had been heaped on the

watched the flames sink lower and lower
while the circling wolves came closer

And now there was but bed of glow

band had crept up nearer and still near

upon the ruddy Goals, he crouched to

A pitch soaked root had blazed up in
the nick of time and now burned merrily.
Presently the whole resin covered trunk
of the tree caught fire and became YER

that my hour of peril was indeed past.
The wolves hung around until morn

Mercantile agencies will hereafter be
more careful in making reports of busi-
ness credits in Ontario. Canada. The
Supreme Court of that province has just
affirmed a judgment of $4,000 against
such an agency in behalf of small mer
chant whose financial credit and reputa-
ton were temporarily ruined by one of
their reports to a subscriber. The court
absolutely rejected the privileged com
munication" plea of the mercantile
agency and declared that it was under
the same obligation not to slander peo-
pie as every citizen is under. There is
something of the spirit of fair play in
this decision which will generally COM
mend itself. especially as the victim in
such case is stricken down without
having an opportunity even to defend
himself.
