Battle with IA Buck.

A. G. Barker, who lives ia the AL
leghany Mountains, several miles
north of Cato, Penn, has had an ex-
perience in the shape OF o thrilling
hand-to-hand encounter with buck.
Mr.. Barker was travelling on an old
road through the forest of the Spruce
Run Game Preserve, when he was
startled by huge believing and cries
of help. fastening in the direction
from which the cries proceeded, he
was startled to see q monster buck
paving and prodding with its wide
spread antlers at q man lying prone
ON the ground.
Quickly securing club, Barker
rushed to the rescue, striking the ami
nal terrific blow in the hope of
driving it away. The buck lunged
sideways, and the man who was down,
and who proved to be one of the war.
dens on the preserve, sprang to his
feet, and though his clothing was torn
to shreds, he seemed but little in
iured, and at once ran for dear life,
leaving Barker to fight it out alone
with the enraged buck.
With a snort ofrage, the buck sprang
at Barker, and the latter succeeded
in grabbing hold of the deer's antlers.
Barker was swung up and down and
around in circle as if only feather
weight, and finally thrown fully
twenty feet, lodging against wall Of
rocks. Again the deer made for the
man, paving and trying to prod him
with his h9rns. BY keeping close to
the rock Parker evaded the horn
prods as much as possible. and, Sc
curing hi. pocket knife, began iabbing
the buck N the nose. In five min
utes the deer gave up the struggle,
and, bleeding and believing with
rage, ran away. Barkers clothes were
torn to shreds and his body badly
lacerated, but with no bones broken
he was able to make his way home.

Killed a Bear With a Stone.

Charles Leidig, the mail carrier be-
tween Jersey Dale and Yosemite VAL
ley, in California, had an unusual en-
counter with a half-grown cinnamon
bear.
The carrier was riding slowly on
the trail where it winds along the
Merced river, on one side the pre-.
cipitous bank of the river reaching
hundreds of feet down, on the other
the vertical wall of the mountain,
when suddenly his horse gave a ter.
rifle snort and attempted to wheel and
turn back. He realized his danger.
Gus predicament and jumped from the
horse in time to prevent the animal
from turning in so narrow space and
probably falling into the rocky abyss
below.
AS soon as he had backed the ami.
NAL to place where he could be tied,
the rider started mp the trail afoot
to ascertain what had frightened the
horse. He had not travelled far when
he was met by bear. To run or not
to run was the question. The bear
was only distant about twenty feet.
He reasoned that if he turned to run
the brute would certainly give chase,
and as there was nothing to climb, it
was certainty that he would be over
taken.
Having heard of hunters in like
predicament cowing savage beasts by
standing with bold front and eyeing
them, he resolved that in the present
case it was the only recourse, as he
was wholly unarmed. The mesmeric
attempt proved a failure. Bruin sat
upon his launches a moment and re-
turned the stare, then gave growl
and made toward the carrier, who in
this extremity reached for a stone
weighing four or five pounds, and as
the bear, at distance of o few feet,
was again coming to a sitting position,
he hurled the stone, striking the ami
nal fair on the upper part of the
head. To the terrified mail carriers
surprise and Joy the bear dropped to
the ground stunned. Without losing
any time he picked up the stone and
repeated the blow again and again.
After satisfying himself that the
bear was dead, he used his pocket
knife to skin him.

heads, and into the horses pulling the
coach. One arrow pierced the face of
Golden as he defended our rear. An
other feathered shaft stuck into
Adams's back. We did not notice it
until the race was over, and the united
strength of two men was necessary to
extract it, In addition Adams re-
ceived no fewer than ten other wounds
as he sat in his seat. In spite of the
jolting of the coach he managed to
knock several of the prrsuers from
their horses with his rifle. In the
storm of bullets and arrows I was not
hurt. One bullet passed through the
cap wore and struck the whip I was
handling, cutting 1t short off. At the
time I regarded this almost as much
of disaster as if the bullet had
pierced my brain, for I did not think
the horses would keep up the mad
fight unless urged. But the several
arrows sticking into the backs of some
of the animals kept them ON in their
mad fight, the uninjured horses be-
ing forced to keep up by the pitching
and jumping of the wounded brutes.
'The gang followed us until tie
post was almost In sight and then
drew off. OF the five passengers four
were dead and Golden was desperately
wounded, but recovered. Still, we
were fortunate, considering the cir
cumstances. Several of the arrows
were quivering in the bodies of the
men when the post was reached"

"Forcing" the Studies.

The abandonment of the Froebel sys-
tenn in the government schools in Paris
Is an interesting educa ational announce
ment. The Paris correspondent of the
New York Evening Post makes this
comment upon the change: expert
ence has proved the wisdom Of the old
saying, Work when you work, and
play when you play A game forced,
the teachers say, is no longer a game;
and while the children are amused at
first, they soon weary of Froebels in
structive mother play The authori-
ties here consider that prolonging dur
ing the ages of s and even 8, as the
Froebel kindergartens do, the associa-
ton of amusement and instruction,
makes the child lacking in application
and retards him, which is clearly
proved by the fact that the children
who leave the kindergartens at Z go
into the second and third grade of the
primary schools, knowing reading, writ
ing, addition, substraction, the geogra-
ply of France and the multiplication
table up to seven. So while there are
still occasional ardent devotees to this
method in Paris, the government has
pronounced against it, as failing to
amuse from the standpoint of play, and
hindering the fullest development in
the nature of work" The prolonging
of the kindergarten age is doubtless at
the root of the trouble. There is no
doubt that in this country, also, the
spirit of the Froebel teaching is by no
means always followed. But wher-
ever it is comprehended the results are
necessarily good, being founded upon
deep philosophical principle of life.
The fault is not in Froebers philosophy,
not in the motor power, but in the sort
of machinery used, so to speak, in the
ignorance of the teachers of its right
full and spiritual and educational appli-
cation.-Boston Transcript.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. e. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that l add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
Others to avail themselves of your val
uable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itool medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in
paper. l sent at once for bottle of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle 1 felt SO much better that 1
ctuu lOT bNo llOIts AllGT tlSlIR tIlTcG
bottles l felt as strong and well as any
one.
g 1 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pipkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

feeling in his pockets for a clean one,
