Fred Levitre of this place had an ex-
citing experience with flock of geese on
the Red river several days ago. He saw
a flock of twenty wild geese light in the
river, and getting his gun, sneaked upon
them They were quietly swimming on
the opposite side of the narrow stream in
close range, and he let 'er go, knocking
down five of the big birds. Some of them
were only winged and very likely to get
away unless expedition were used. Mr.
Levitre Immediately stripped and went
into the stream. He secured two of the
geese without much difficulty, and third
after a good deal of running and swim
wing, and he got out on the muddy shore
and ran and hoped along at a good
place. Levitre put after him through the
mud and brush, and the goose gave him
merry chase. Just as he overlook him
and was about to hit him with the stick
he carried for the purpose, the goose
plunged back into the stream. Levitre
followed, and again, as he came upon him,
the goose dived, which foiled his pursuer.
Levitre was now nearly exhausted, but he
thought land so is the goose" and the
thought encouraged him to keep up the
chase, Soon he saw a bubble, and, CIV
ing one mighty effort, he made a plunge
and grabbed the goose as he came up.
Then he had a terrific wrestle and fight

four heavy geese, two of which weighed
twelve pounds each, and he was on the
opposite side of the river from hts home.
The water was deep in the center of the
stream, and he had to do some swimming
to- get across. The question was how to
do 1t with four geese. He hit upon the
idea of having the last goose caught,
which was still very lively, assist him in
getting across, and so he tied string to
his tail and let him go, holding on at the
other end, and the bird trying hard to get

Blind, Rheumatic and Dr0pSiCaI- Union Colonel
is Given Over to Die-HOW the Old Soldier
Gave AzraeI the Slip.
From the Neaos, Barboursvtile, Ry.

In the year 1868 while in command of
Union regiment ut Cumberland Gap, Colonel
Messer, now of Flat Licks, Kentucky, re-
,eived severe gunShot wound in his abdo-
men. In few months he was again in the
saddle, but soon was obliged to undergo fur
Their medical treatment, and his condition be-
came so serious that IN the winter of 1868 he
returned to his home, and was never again
fit for active service During the years that
have since passed, Colonel Messer has been n
confirmed invalid from the effect of his
wound, and has been under the constant care
of the local physicians, not improving, but
growing worse as the years rolled on. His
condition eventually became deplorable. Al
most blind, legs swollen, so that he was unable
to walk, the doctors who could do nothing to
arrest the progress of the diseDe diagnosed it
as dropsy, aud said recovery was impossible.
The old soldier did not half Believe his
physicians, but said that since they could
do nothing for him, he would, upon an old
friends strong recommendation, try DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The
first box was taken by Col. Messer according
to directions, and by the time that was gone,
he felt so much easier and more comfortable,
that several other boxes were procured, and
he continued to take them faithfully. Soon
the swelling in his legs disappeared, and
with it the fierce rheumatic pains with which
he had long suffered. StrangeSt of ALL his

useless, was restored.

A KEEPER NEARLY KILLED.
A Mighty Struggle at the Chicago
Geological Gardens.
From the ChIcago Record.

From the chicago Record.
A fierce battle was fought between
man and bear in the Chicago geological
gardens the other day, which came very
near proving fatal to the man. The bear
was a great Russian grizzly, weighing
nearly 800 pounds, and the man, who was
his keeper, used no weapons except his
fists.
The animals keeper, Cy de vry, had oc-
casion to poke the old bear, Billy, in order
to exhibit him to some visitors. To his
surprise Billy, who is usually very gentle,
snapped at him viciously. De Vry instant
ly caught up a whip and rushed into the
bear pit TO chastise the bear, meanwhile
shutting the gate behind him. The animal
proved to be thoroughly angry, and, in
stead of showing any fear, made at once
for his keeper The keeper cut the bear
in the face with the small whip several
times, but this only served to infuriate him
the more. In moment the two We're en-
gagged in a terrific struggle. The position
of the bear pit made IL impossible for those
on the outside to offer any assistance. A
crowd soon collected about the pit, at
tracted by the cries of the man and the
fierce growing of the bear. One of the
helpers managed to drop a rake down into
the pit, but the fight was going on at such
close quarters that the weapon was USE
less.
The bear began to fight by making sew
eral quick PUSHES TO secure a hold on .the
keepers legs. 1t succeeded in getting a
hold in few moments and buried Its teeth
in the mans leg. With this advantage

From the Chicago Times Herald
According to La Verne w Noyes of this
city, who has just returned from a mid
summer trip to Alaska, navigation in
those northern ATTITUDES possesses some
rather remarkable features.
II believe the inland steamer route to
Alaska is the finest pleasure trip in the
world, said Mr.. Noyes the other day.
1.-THE scenery is indescribably beautiful
and the water separated from the Pacific
by chain Of islands, is as smooth as any
harbor In the world. But at many points
along the route the channel is quite tor
tuous, and full Of rocks, and whenever a
fog is encountered every movement of the
ship is fraught with danger.
