HOW VICTORY WAS SNATCHED
FROM DEFEAT by "a KNOCK
4 DOWN ARGUMENT.

A man now old in the public service
tells this among his earlier expert
ences: "I inherited a taste for politics.
and began fighting the battle OF my
party before was old enough to hold
Office. / had no sooner reached my
majority than / was given nomina-
tion TO the Legislature as the result of
good management on the part OF my
friends.
'It was a close district and feeling
ran high. There was a loyal and power
full fellow attached to our family by so
much per month, who had taught me
how to ride, how to handle a gun, how
to fish, how to SWIM, how to handle
boat and how to do many other things
that are a source of pleasure as we'll as
health to a boy Had anyone inti-
mated to him that there had been
Daniel Webster or a Henry Clay who
was smarter than myself there would
have been more trouble than any one
man would care to encounter single
handed.
'T had canvassed all OF my district
except a mining section, where the op-
position was almost solid. There l
heard some smart old campaigners
were to be present for the purpose OF
tangllng me and destroying the effect
of my eloquence. / cOnfded my fears
to Jake. who was as faithful to me as
a dog wherever I went. He had moth
ing to say, but he was evidently think
/ ing with all his ability.
''When I had completed my speech
to the miners I followed an invariable
custom by offering to answer any ques-
! tions that might be asked. Promptly
well-dressed man, whom knew to
rbe one Of the shrewdest and most for
midable stumpers in the state, started
for the platform. At the top step he
was met by Jake, who looked as sol
emn as an owl, as he knocked the po-
litical manipulation half way across the
hall. Addressing a public audience for
the first time, Jake said: rs there any
| other gent as would like TO ask few
| questions?' No one did. The miners
shouted their delight and had an easy
victory, for which Jake was entitled ia
chief credit. ."-Detroit Free Press.

REINDEER FOR THE KLoNDIKE.


Moss, as we understand it, is rather
an uncommon vegetable. 1t would be
difficult. for instance, to find enough
moss by an English roadside, to feed
one reindeer per diem, not to speak Of
hundreds. But once beyond a certain
line on the Arctic fringe moss is the
one common form of vegetable lite
Lichen is the more appropriate name,
for it is a thick, whitish growth, spring
ing up naturally, and often burned by
the Lapps over large tracts, just as
Scotch shepherds burn the heather TO
produce a thicker crop for the deer. 1t
is the natural vegetable covering OF the
earth where earth and not rock Is on
the surface And the I<lOndike climate
is particularly favorable to this moss,
which lies over the whole SOIL an in
visible vegetable lining, between the
earth and the covering snow. 1t is so
| thick that even in Summer, when the
snow melts, this nonconducting layer OF
moss prevents the ground from thaw-
ing.
Before the snow melts, as on the pro-
| iected journey OF the deer, they will be
travelling over one vast carpet Of snow
covered food; and as each reindeer
male or female, has a third projecting
| palmated antler, or Snow scraper,
with few side-long sweeps of which
it can brush away the snow, the herds
have no trouble in reaching their food
A good reindeer will travel 100 miles q
day over frozen snow. When drawing
burdens it will take "a weight of 300
pounds, though the Lappa prefer tC
limit it to 240 pounds-Spectator.

WILD BEASTS VERY BOLD.

The severity of the weather recently
and the depth of snow on the noun
tains have driven game of all kinds
into the valleys, and likewise their nat
ural enemies, the wildcats and foxes,
In various parts of this county (Hunt-
ingdon) deer have been seen feeding
in the fields; wild turkeys have asso-
ciated with the farmers dometsic fowls,
and wildcats and foxes have boldly in
vaded hen roosts under the very eyes
of the owners. The scarcity of food
on the mountains has so emboldened the
Wildcats that their raids on the far
mers' poultry are Of almost nightly oc-
curence. On Thursday night Peter
Posten, an aged army veteran of Hill
Valley, after a a1severe encounter, killed
a wildcat that had been attracted 70
his premises by the remnants OF re-
cent butchering. Posten Is a noted
hunter and has pack of fine fox
hounds. Soon after retiring on Thurs
day evening Mr.. Posten heard COM
motion among his dogs near the barn.
He hastily dressed himself and went to
the barn, carrying a double-barrelled
gun heavily charged with buckshot.
On the way he found his favorite
hound lying dead in the road. A few
steps further he came across another
dog mortally hurt. He found his three
remaining dogs in a fierce combat with
a large wildcat, which, on the farmers
approach, sprang upon an Overhang-
ing beam extending from the side OF
the barn. The wildcat had scarcely
landed on its perch when it made a
second spring, landed on Mr.. POsten's
shoulders, scratching and clawing him
severely. Mr.. Posten stopped down
and his dogs again attacked the wild
cat and drove It of. Then Mr.. Posten
shot the beast. It measured 4 feet and
inches from tip TO tip.-New
