bark Rosina In October. 1888. swept
every man aboard but one into the
sea; he escaped only because he was
an invalid below. A hundred per-
sons lost their lives from the wave
encountered by the steamer San Fran

The height OF these waves can

Strineville Penn. has now brass
pand. 1t played its first piece the
other day. The band considerably
went half mile out OF town to try
its first tune. That delicate consider
alton undoubtedly saved the life Of
Jimmy Strong. n Strineville small
boy, but it killed Farmer Fred Stauf-
fers valuable young bull.
At the time the band went out TO
play the bull was placidly cropping
the grass in his pasture. which was
near the spot chosen by the band for
Its maiden effort. While the band
was getting its collective lip ready TO
compel tune from its horns. Jimmy
Strong was taking u short cut through
the pasture to get to the spot whore
the band was. The bull had repu-
tation for temperament that was en-
tirely incompatible with the presence
OF small boy in his pasture. and he
no sooner had taken note that there
was one even one trespassing on his
domain than he started in to hasten
the small boys trip across the lot
The small boy FASTENED amazingly,
but the bull was gaining on him. The
band was so much absorbed with 1t.
self that 1t did not notice the process
sion moving across the meadow. al
though the bull was mounting his dis
pleasure Justify as he bounded along.
and the small boy was lifting up his
voice in far-reaching tones.
The bull got within few jumps OF
the flying boy just as the band was
ready to play. The band played. At
the first burst and blare OF sound that
the band projected on the circumam-
bent air the bull stopped short threw
up his head, and shifted and snorted.
The horns let fly again. The bull
turned and rushed wildly toward the
stone wall He reached the wall

in his eyes. The band blew another

WILD RUN FOR LIFE.
Fourteen Year-Old Boys Adventure With
Wolves.

''-N--
Wolves.
A fourteen year old boy. of Hurl-
bert a numbering town. forty miles
west OF Sault Ste. Marie. had an ex-
citing adventure one day last winter
in which he narrowly escaped being
devoured by a couple OF big gray
wolves.
Near the town is lake OF consid-
cradle extent G. w. Dryer, father
OF the boy. is in charge Of Hurlburt's
operations there. At the request OF
his son he caused q half-mile track to
be cleared on the lake by n snow
pillow. SO his boy and others could
enjoy skating. One afternoon Tommy
was out alone at the end OF the track
furthest from the camp AS 1t began
to grow dark the boy was about to
start for home when he was startled
by the howl OF wolf mot far off fol-
lowed instantly by another. At the
same time two large and ferocious
timber wolves made their appearance
short distance away.
The boy. aware that his life was in
danger. at once sought safety in flight
The ugly brutes, half famished dur
ing the winter and intent on having a
feast, Immediately started in pursuit
Fear lent speed to the flying feet OF
the fugitive. and he raced along with
all the strength he could command.
For q time he distanced his pursuers,
but he soon began to lose his strength,
mud the hungry animals were soon
close behind. with their eyes CLEAN
ing like Goals OF fire and their red
tongues hanging out between cruel
glistening teeth.
The lad continued his exertions.
however calling loudly for help. AT
last feeling tho hot breath OF the
painting brutes he was about to give
up in despair when George Colvin
and Alex. Stewart two brawny wood
men who were working near. heard
the frightened cries OF the boy and
the fierce howls OF the wolves and
started to the rescue. They arrived
lust in time Another minute would
have been too late. The men attacked
the brutes with their axes and drove
them away after struggle.

some one coming toward him whose

proach did not make a clearly defined

minute l was awake to the fact that
there was queer light in his face and
that he returned my bow very stiffiy.
1T was not until l had gone a
couple OF squares down the avenue
that it flashed into my mind that the
man was one OF my oldest and most
intimate friends whom had not seen
in several years. and that when he
had started to greet me cordially l
had worse than cut him by giving
him cold bow. then. as a man
will do turned to hurry back after
him. but OF course he was gone"
Here Is another extreme case which
seems improbable but for the truth
OF which the writer can vouch. A
New Yorker who made trip to Cal

by man. who rushed up to him and
wrung bis hand heartily.

stranger with delight II heard you

The New Yorker looked at the
other man in blank establishment

is some mistake. l do not seem to
know you"

laugh, you are cool fellow to joke
in that way. But how long are you

walk away in disgust but the New
