He cut Harrison three very ugly CASH

CAMP FIRES.
A Feature OF Life In the Woods That IL DIS
Appearing from tho Adirondack.

appearing from tho Adirondack.
With the coming Of spring, those who like the
woods begin to think of camps and camping. II
any Of them were asked what they thought OF
first as regards camp life, the answer would
probably be, THE fire." That is because the
fire is at once the most conspicuous and the
most useful feature of a camp. Those who have
felt the warmth of a fire after a day Of drizzling,
bone-chilling rain, or have scented frying brook
trout or broiling venison at the end of a heavy
trail. call the fire the most interesting and i'm
portant feature of the woods life.
OF late years the guides have caused sheet-iron
stoves to be introduced into many camps. Tho
stoves have done away with the cooking out of
doors under shed bark roofs. and now there is
not 80 often an open fire as in tho old days.
After dark, though, city tourists usually have
the guides put up a heap of wood and set it
blazing just to SEQ the shadows chase each other
and watch the green leaves Of the trees over
head shiver, shrivel. and burn. Tho sheet iron
stove came with the log cottage. and the two
have about driven the old lean-to camp with the
blazing heap Of logs before it out of the Adj
flicker and crack of green birch. which used to
the chink and snap Of dry wood in a stove.
The innovations OF late years have not pleased

A BLIND PIG OF ABILITY.
Found Its Way Over Three Miles ar Crooked
Road TO Its Birthplace.

THE Sun told recently Of II little pigs finding
its why home after having been carried half a
mile in n covered basket. Samuel IIorncr, who
lives near Carmichaels. Pa, tells a moro re.
markablc story Of Il blind pig that found it's way
home after having been carried three miles or
more in n box.
The pig was OF a litter of four and was blind from
birth. Whom about three months old tho litter
was sold, TO n neishboring farmer, who took
them all home In a large box in HIS wagon. Tho
several cross roads and II passed through It vii
lage with several cross streets, the neiRhbor's
farm being about two miles beyond the village,
The pigs were turned out in IA small lot. On the
morning of the third day after the blind pig had
been taken away, Mr.. Horner found IL in his hog
had returned with it. There was no other way
for the pig to return home than by following the
road over Which II had been carried in the box.

A COYOTE HUNT IN SECTIONS.
Three ssts or Dogs Tired Out Before tho Game
Was Finally nun Down.

Big All Redwood, as he is called, is a ranch
man living in Mctcalf valley, Col. HI asked
some friends In the East recently to get him a
good pack of English foxhounds. Coyotes, no
said. were eating him out of lambs and chickens.
and he wanted to drive the beasts out of the
country. Guns, native dogs. poisons, and traps
had all failed to accomplish tho purpose. In
due time fifteen foxhounds arrived at the ranch,
and a week later. whom they were thoroughly
rested, Redwood started out to try them. lie
tells his experiences to a New York friend In a
letter as follows:
We jumped one and away went the dogs
lickety-sGoot. and yelPing to make the cacti
dance. They yelped all day, and next morning
found them lying down on the trail ofthe coyote,
less than half u mile from the ranch house
Their feet were sore, and ] carted them in on a
blackboard. " was a month before they got in
shape again. Then ! took three OF the dogs and
started 18th the same coyote, The three
going, about tvc hours. Then l went out with
four dogs and called off the three, and set the
four after tho beast. Away they went, and
about dark started four others. They ran TN
morning. and then ] started the last four. Tho
coyote saw the fresh dogs coming, for he had
stopped. but he didn't stop long. The four dogs
we're the biggest and ugliest In the lot-Reg,
Mart, Set, and Kineo. Thoy sailed after the
coyote, and II took q straightaway course, NOT
circlinE any more. Tho dogs overlook the
beast fourteen miles. away. on Henrys ranch.
