sturdy green boughs bristled with
stubs of dead limbs that made con-
venient steps.
My gun was of German make, rigged
with a sling, which till now l had al
ways thought useless appurtenance,
but in this emergency it proved quite
otherwise, when by singing the gun

quickly. None too quickly, for in two
minutes the leaders of the pack were
beneath me, and glaring up at me with
cruel, hungry eyes, having evidently
seen my ascent. for they were not al

Others came till there were seven in
all. some circling about the tree. some
sitting on their launches and treading
impatiently with their forefeet, like u

and, after getting my breath, and my
nerves were a little settled, / tried the
effect of a charge of No on one of the
besiegers, as ! got tolerable fair aim
at his uplifted muzzle through an open

pain, followed by general commo-
ton among the crew, and when the
smoke had lifted above me | caught
glimpses of the stung brute clawing
his head with alternate forepaws.

coat, but it amounted to nothing. Be
wailing the incredulity which had made
me refuse the buckshot, | was at my
wits end how to raise the siege.
Perhaps my supply of provisions
would last till the enemy was starved
out, if the weather did not turn cold
and freeze me on my roost, which was a
prospect less agreeable than that of
subsistng on raw partridge flesh.
Then ii occurred to me to climb to
the top and see if there was any chance
of making alarm shots heard down in
the settlements. Singing my gun /

up the pine came to an end, for there

lying belly up, stone dead, ! also came
upon something that gave me a start

The fallen leaves and the soil were
torn and furrowed and stones aui
patches of moss were overturned, il
evidence of a desperate struggle, the
result of which was plainly shown by
the antlered slalll and scattered bones
of deer and a mat of coarse gray halr

Diantha Gridley's tailor shop, where,

formances, and will come to Rome on January 4 to act at the Teatro Valle, while awaiting for the conclusion of the arrangements for a Theatre of the Muses, on the romantic and picturesque shores of the little Lake of Albano. The idea of this theater is the conception and will be under the management of the we'll known Italian poet and novel, ist, Gabrielle d'Annunzio, who has at last succeeded in entering parliament. and has taken his seat among the strongest conservatives-as he himself says, ito defend the arts"
 Whenever one looks at Signora Duse one cannot help realizing that her fig ure, expression and gestures reveal the artist born. Her father and grandfath- CT were, in fact, comedians. The later especially was great in his profession and made a whole generation laugh He left such a name that even to-day a lane in the picturesque little town of Chioggia, his nature place, is called Cal le Duse. Eleanora's mother, although her name was Capuleti, a great histori- cal name, was simple peasant Her daughter was born in 1859, during a journey the mother was taking with her husband to Venice. To convey the in fant to church for baptism she was put in a crystal casket, and the procession started headed by the priest. The Aus trian soldiers, then occupying Venetia, thinking it was procession with the relics of some saint, presented arms, whereupon her father exclaimed What, an armed force rendering hom- age to a child! She will have glori- ous future" The beginning, however, was not promising. She passed her childhood amid painful surroundings, her father often unable to provide even food for his family, and her mother di- viding her life between the bired room where they lived and the hospital.
 At four years of age Eleanora, like Adelaide Ristori, was on the stage, but at fourteen, when her mother died. sine had not sufficient money to buy black dress, and was obliged to be satisfied with a crape band on her sleeve. Her life at this period resembles that of many another artist not less unfortu- nate, such as Desclee who sang in the streets; Zaccone, who recited in the en- virons of Milan, living in a hut, and painting his posters himself; and Mo- velli perhaps the best known young Italian actor, who lived for long by making wigs for his companions. Sig nora Duse herself says that when still a young girl she recited Romeo and Juliet" with Pilotto, and she remembers they wept more because of the onions they had taken than from emotion. At twenty she has climbed the ladder of fame, and now rivals, if she does not surpass, the great Bernhardt-Rome correspondence of the Pail Mall Ga zette.

 It is thus that in all the walks Of life and ;ti all occupations, times change and knowl- edge and efficiency increase. Tn this re- spect medical science has kept pace with the advance in other lines. Physicians and chemists have grown rapidly more skillfrl. There are medicinal preparations now-a- days that cure diseases that were a few years ago considered absolutely incurable. The fnal triumph in this respect is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It was first given to the world thirty years ago, and has stood the test ever since that time. It cures o8 per cent of all cases of consumption, bronchial, throat and kindred affections Thousands who were Hopeless sufferers, and had been given up by the doctors, have testified to its marvellous merits. It is the great blood maker and flesh builder. It makes the appetite hearty, the digestion and assimilation perfect the liver active the blood pure and rich with the life giving elements of the food, and the nerves strong and steady. It acts directly on the lungs and air-passages driving out all impurities and disease germs.

 HE SET THE COURT RIGHT.
Henry Everett Was Dissatisfied With
 the Verdict, and Corrected it.

Henry Everett Was Dissatisfied With
 the Verdict, and Corrected it.
 Henry Everett of Constitution, Ohio, once figured in an attorneys squabble, and result was a revival of industry at the hospital at Marietta MT. Ever ett had bought shanty boat from some voyager of the Muskingum river and had fixed it up preparatory to a pleas ant trip down the Ohio, when an utter stranger came along with writ of re- plevin and took possession of the Julia Ann, claiming her as his own. The case came up in a justices court, and Henry attended, :, accompanied by a young attorney named Reese. The claimant had also engaged rather inn mature lawyer, and the result was that as soon as witness for whichever side went upon the stand a bitter battle rose between the rival counsel.
 "I object to that question, Your Honor, on the ground that it is irrele- want, immaterial, not proper cross-eX- animation, calling for a conclusion and leading" one of the attorneys would shriek, whereupon the other would re- cite about three hundred words of highly legal sound, which, when diag- nosed and cleared of fractions, simply meant that his antagonist was full of prunes.
 It occurred that Everett's attorney was less gifted in the matter of jawing bak than was the claimants advocate, and he finally quite gave over attempt ing to compete in billingsgate and con- fined himself to proving that the boat really belonged to his client. The case went to the jury of six, and to the sur prise of al who had sensibly followed the proceedings the finding was against Everett. When the verdict was read Everett rose from his seat and said:
 Judge, want to ast these juries somethin'."
 You must be in order MT Everett, p the court observed. "The jury has con- clu''-
 "In order!' cried Everett, angrily. "Yes, sir. That's just what I intend to prove am. I'm in first-rate order and fit for an Al fight right here. I'm goin' to ast them juries some questions, whether or mo-"
 The court saw he meant business and being uncertain of his own authority. he made no further objection as Everett faced the jury and asked on what
