KILLED CAslB0U WITH KNIFE.
Unprecedented Feat Of John Moody Of Ash.
LAND. in Staying Big Game.

John Moody, who resides in Ashland in
Aroostook county, has a claim on the
title of champion hunter of Maine He is
known all over Maine and is regarded as
extremely truthful. and of course there
is no reason to doubt his latest hunting
yarn.
Five miles from Moodys home there is
an ideal place for hunting. An old llim-
berman's road leads to it. and the easiest
way TO get there is to go on horseback
Moody visited the place. the other day,
ard met with the greatest success that
any single hunter has had in that section
this year. He did not take his rifle. but
thinking that he might have occasion to
use his hunting knife. it was included in
his outfit He went along leisurely for
some distance, when he saw a large carl
bou browsing beside the road and appar-
emily unmindful of his approach.
Never had he wished for a rifle more
but wishes We're useless. To go home for
one was out of the question, for the carl
bou would not be expected to remain in
that locality for any length of time.
Moody stopped his horse and looked at
the animal, and once or twice he moved
his head. but never offered to run into
the woods. The horse approached to
within few rods of the caribou, which
exhibited no signs of fear.
Moody was nonpluSSed. He never knew
a caribou to act in such way. He asked
himself II there was anything the matter
with him. anyway. If he was dreaming
he made up his mind to see the finish.
He got hold of the long hunting knife,
dropped his body down on the horses
side opposite from that toward the carl
bou. The horse walked slowly along, and
at last came alongside the caribou.
Moody then slid to the ground. reached
under the horse, grabbed the caribou by
the fore leg and sent his hunting knife
into the animals throat. The caribou
dropped almost instantly.
Moody took his game home and for
several days he did not dare to tell his
friends how he killed it. He learned that
three years ago a crew of woodsmen
caught young caribou and kept him for
some time around their camp. He grew
very tame and would follow the log chop
pers around in the day time always turn
ing up at the howell at night. This led
Moody to believe that the caribou had re-
turned to its old haunts and he had
killed it.
Moody is doubtless the first man in
Maine who ever hunted caribou on
horseback and killed him with hunting
knife.-Boston Globe.

He Kissed the Bride.

There was ludierous and fairly start
ling incident at recent Bddeford
church wedding.
There are people who delight in follow
ing up weddings in which they have nc
particular interest the same as there are
those who never allow themselves to miss
public funeral but they usually man.
age to restrain themselves until the SER
vices are over. though it was not so in
this case.
The officiating clergyman had got pretty
well along in the marriage ceremony but
had not yet reached the finale by pro-
nouncing the couple man and wife when
the unlocked for incident occurred.
The clergyman was within the altar
rail and the bridal couple Just without.
when suddenly Il man sprang from his
seat in the front of the church. with a
bound reached the Unsuspecting bride.
seized Ter IL ON behind ana bent her back
ward until her head rested upon his
breast and pressed a kiss upon her
startled face with a resounding smack
and quickly returned to his seat.
/ The bride hat was Knocked askew
she was fairly overcome with surprise,
the groom and the clergyman were dumb
founded and the other witnesses of the
wedding did not know what to think
The clergyman was the first to recover
from the surprise and he proceeded to
tell the man who had interrupted the
ceremony what he thought of him and his
conduct. and he did not express himself
very mildly. either. He told the man
that he had good mind to have him ar
rested and that he would if he ever in
truded in the church again.
Then the nuptial knot was completed.
The man whose impotence to kiss the
bride led him to interrupt the ceremony
is married and there was no particular
reason why he should have shown such
an extreme affection.
1t is mistrusted that a wager was at
the bottom of the episode. and those who
so believe think that he earned 1t, what
ever it was.-Biddeford Record
