REBEL IN THE WOODS.

When the ablebodied citizens of the village formed a company and marched away to the war, Major Tom BOldin as stunned in a manner the burden of the village cares. Everybody ran to him when they felt obliged to discuss their affairs. The sorrows of the town were dragged before him. His little bench at the sunny side of Migglesville tavern became sort of an open court where people came to speak resentfully of their grievances. He accepted his position and struggled manfully under the load. It behOOved him as 8 man who had seen the sky red over the quaint low cities of Mexico and the compact northern bayO- nets gleaming on the narrow roads.
 One warm summer day the major sat asleep on his little bench. There was a Hull in the tempest of discussion which usually enveloped him. His cane. by use of which he could make the most tremendous and impressive gestures, re- posed beside him. His hat lay upon the bench, and his old bald head had swung forward until his nose actually touched the first button of his waistcOat
 The sparrows wrangled desperately in the road, defying perspiration. Once a team went jangling and creaking past, raising yellow blur of dust before the soft tones of the field and sky. Ill the long grass of the meadow across the road the insects chirred and clacked eternally.
 Suddenly a frowzy headed boy ap- peared ill the roadway, his bare feet pattering rapidly He was extremely excited. He gave a shrill whOop as he discovered the sleeping major and rush. ed toward him. He created a terrific panic among some chickens that had been scratching intently near the majors feet They clamored in an insanity of fear and rushed hither and thither seek ing way of escape, whereas in reality all ways lay open to them.
 This tumult caused the major to arouse with a sudden little jump of amazement and apprehension. He rub bed his eyes and gazed about him. Meanwhile some clever chicken had dis covered a passage to safety and led the flock into the garden, where they squawked in sustained alarm. Painting from his run and choked with terror, the little boy stood before the major, struggling with tale that was ever upon the tip of his tongue, "MajOr-nOw-mnjOr"-
 The old man, reused from a delicious slumber, glared impatiently at the lit tie boy
 "Come, comel Whats tn matter with yeh?'' he demanded Whats th' matter? Don't stand there shaking Speak upI'
 Lots is tn matter" the little boy shouted valiantly, with a courage Eorll of the importance of his tale. My L.a's chickens us all stole. an now--he's over ill the woOdsI''
 "Who isP Who is over ill the woods! Go aheadP'
 "Now-th' rebel isl''

HUNTING PERUVIAN GAME.
An Gnglishman's Account of His Fine
 Sport In the Highlands.

An Gnglishman's Account of His Fine
 Sport In the Highlands.
 Hunting in the highlands of Peru is very enjoyable if little known sport, ac- cording to an Englishman "who spGlt some days hunting from 5000 to 18,- 900 feet above the sea on grassy plains or in valleys surrounded by high noun tains" There is considerable small game-snipe, ducks, culi culi Ga kind of grouse) and quivio Ca kind of guinea fowl)-but the game a sportsman out for day or two seeks is vicuna and al paca. The vicuna is the wild llama and is a shy animal with great vitality, re quiring rtck or shoulder shots to kill. The alpaca is the mountain vicuna, liv- ing on the coarse and scanty forage of it's homo region. Its wool is foot long, but so curly and fine that it fits to it's body like darky's hair. Both are relat- ed closely 10 the guanaco of the Pata- gonia deserts, which sometimes wanders into the uplands of Peru.
 The Englishman carried a 44-4O American rife and 16 gauge shotgun for snail game.
 Entering large pampa," he writes, Eve sighted herd of vienna. We tried to ride around them. but they made off, passing AshmOre at about 900 yards. Lying down. he opened fire, and fine specimen rolled over. We cleaned it, loaded it on to pack mule and rode on, soon striking another herd of seven, which at once made off, but my second shot at 40 yards dropped one dead. This we took, and soon after bagged two braco of culi-cui."
 That night the hunters rolled up in their blankets on the mud floor of hut. Hammocks strung from post to post would have been better, Next day, after restful night, they ''began to shoot the valley adjacent to Caraguiri. Some of the writer's bullets hit two vicuna at 13O yards, and some of the others hit the valley. The dead animals were loaded on the pack mules, and after going over the summit of an IS, 900 foot mountain the hunters had the rare good fortune for that region of jumping seven guana- co, which ran too fast for the mules the men rode and struck gait across the pampa discouraging to the hunters.
 "But leaping from my mule," says the writer, "and sighting my rifle at 400 yards. dropped a bullet ahead of them, and the bunch of dust scared them to standstill. then plumped 1 the remaining nine bullets into the herd, and two fell dead"
 l A 39-55 rife would have been better for such long range work, and 40-82 still better, but no matter, the guanacos were killed. One was 45 inches high at the shoulder and weighed 40 pounds dressed The other was 36 inches high and weighed 75 pounds dressed.
 The total bag was two guanacos, sev- en vicuna, seven brace of ouli-culi, one brace of quivio, five ducks, three snipes l and no end of fun. Tho end of tho hunt was to the tunes of a banjo and piano. New York Sun.

A Log Driver Drowned.

Geo. BAIL, member of the firm
of BAIL Bros, OF Overton, who are
engaged in stocking logs for the
Emery Lumber company, of William
sport, was drowned early Friday
morning in the Little Loyalsock.
This sad and appalling occurrence is
quite a parallel with that of one
year ago, when one, by the name of
John Powers, met with a similar
fate at about the same place, six or
seven miles above Forksville, on the
Little Loyalsock. Mr.. Bahl at the
time of the accident, was engaged
in breaking q landing that extended
nearly to the centre of the stream.
George, with another brother of the
firm, were both out at the extreme
end, rolling the logs off into the
rapid current, when suddenly the
whole body of logs was lifted by the
water, and with crash, was carried
off in the boiling current. George
was on the lower side of the mass
of logs, while his brother happened
to be at the upper side, and was
fortunate enough to reach shore by
his own exertion in securing a hold
on a portion of one skid yet remain-
ing. The unfortunate was instantly
precipitated; he, however, succeeded
in making fast to log and was
still clinging to it when last seen by
his friends, who were on more solid-
footing at the time. They shouted
to him, to leave the log and swim
ashore, as he was considered an ex-
pert swimmer, but as he did not
avail himself Of this opportunity, i.
was conceded that he must have
been overcome with cramps. All
efforts to rescue proved futile, and
when given up as lost, the services
Of the Dittman Bros, expert divers,
of Williamsport, was Immediately
secured, in hopes of recovering the
body. Their search on Saturday and
Sunday proved of no avail and with
another attempt on Monday. gave
up the effort. lie has not yet been
found.
Deceased was model young man
and enjoyed the friendship Of all
who knew him. The BAIL Bros
have been engaged for the past three
years in stocking this stream with
logs and floating the same to a GERS
tain point along the Big Loyalsock,
near Forksvillc. His untimely death
was sad news TO his relatives and
friends.
