WAYS of the Moose.

Ambrose seemed to know great deal
about moose after all. He told the boys
how, back from the narrow valley and
the swift, winding stream, the country
was all a wilderness, hillsides clad
with birches, naples and evergreens,
and resting at their feet little lakes, so
numerous that no man knew how many
there were. Often, where these lakes
were shallow, the yellow pond lily
with its oval leaves crowded tho sur
face. AT other seasons the tender bark of
mountain ashes and moosewoods are the
favorite food of the moose, but now
there is nothing he likes so we'll as the
long tubular roots of the lily. In the very
early mornings, and in the evenings,
about tho time of the harvest moon
the full moon nearest Sept. 21-a hol-
low sound, not unlike the sound of dis
tant chopping. may be heard 1t is the
sound of moose calling to their mates
or the angry challenge Of fierce rivals.
1t is this sound which the hunter imi-
tates to attract the moose. But there
are only few places where the moose
will answer, shallow spots in certain
we'll known lakes, and it is said to be
nearly useless to call anywhere olse.-
