An Adventure That Befcll q Man From
the City.


4 Summer before last ! went into the
wilds Of Pennsylvania with a friend who
had a cabin in the woods. One day. after
we had been at the cabin about two
week.. my Companion had to go to a town
y NV miles distant on business errand,
ana was left alorc. l decided to go a.
nshing. So I i.ug the bait, put the rod
over my shoulder, and started on my way
Tor the brook where we usually fished
Il was good three-mile walk from the
cabin, on a path that lay mostly through
the woods. The great beauty of fishing in
THIS stream lay in the fact that the pick
erel were so abundant that very little
skill was required to insure success. In
1act was so successful that 1 took little
or no note of time, and before 1 was
aware of it the sun was dropping out of
slgnt. So with my pole and string of fish
started homeward, this time avoiding
tne wood path and taking a short cut
After l had walked perhaps mile
mad to cross large field. When half
way across it I was startled upon being
confronted by bull, with picturesque
notified hide like that of a circus horse,
and an eye whose ominous glare filled my
soul with dire forebodings. There was

But what does it mean? Why
should anybody gnaw a file?'
Il havn't time to go into the matter
this morning. said the self-import-
ant man, who wasn't really sure Of his
position.
But I want to know right away"
persisted the old man, as he proceeded
to uEwrap the object in the paper.
Now. here is a file. All of you look at
it. Think CT gnawing a file"
He turned about and drew it across
the door handle with a sound which
brought the shivers to every spinal
column, and then, turning back, re-
sumed:
He shall gnaw a flle.' What had
he done? Who was he9 How lona

bull continued to roar there was a new
straw for me to grasp at; his roars might
be heard by the farmer who owned him,
and might cause him to think that the
bull was sick and required attention. But
when l realized that it was eight o'clock
and that the farmer had been sound
asleep for an hour, l soon abandoned all
hope of seeing him appear upon the
scene, and of my safe deliverance at his
hands.
l felt certain that the bulls attentions
were not of kindly character, because
he remained upon his feet and never
thought of stretching himself. Once he
waded into the water, and l thought he
was bent upon capturing me; but after
L had grasped the paddle, determined to
make the chase as lively as possible,
discovered that he only wanted a drink
When he had slaked his thirst, it seemed
to me that he had done so only to moisten
his throat for fresh effort after the
manner of a lecturer for he began bel
lowing again more furously than before,
and left no doubt in my mind relative to
his general attitude towards me. Still l

cape the horns.
And so the dreary, dismal hours Jagged
on heavy leaden wings, and the damp
misty air made me think of malaria, and
the suller attitude of the bull upset my
nerves and filled me with a prescience of
irnumerable awful things. l yearned and
yearned for the daylight. l don't know
how long l sat bent over in the boat, with
my coat collar drawn over my ears. But
do know that l finally fell asleep-into
sort of dead, dreamless sleep-from
sheer exhaustion.
Hi there was the shout I heard
when l first opened my eyes and looked
about, wondering how in the world
could have fallen to sleep in such situa-
ton. Been a-bobbin cells all night out

bank.

DEwEy.s FLEET.

The proposition of Commodore
Dewey, in command of the Ash
attic fleet. is interesting.
Driven from English and Chi
nese ports in Asia, and with no
American port to go to, he must
needs secure a base OF supplies
from the Spanish, the belligerents.
The Philippine Islands offer
his only hope for coal, which he
will shortly need, although he has
provisions sufficient to last him for
six months. The only way he
can get coal is to capture it from
the Spanish store at the Philip
pines.
Sherman stalking through the
heart of the Confederacy was not
much more picturesque than
Dewey seizing upon a Spanish
possession, not alone for conquest,
but for his very existence afloat.
1t is a pity that the United
States do not possess the Ha-
waiian islands at this time. The
islands are about one-third the
way across the Pacific, between
the western coast and the Philip
pine Islands and would offer an
unexcelled base OF supplies.
There is no reason, perhaps, to
fear that Dewey will be unable to
make a foothold on the enemy's
country, but should he fail to
maintain it his government will
have a tremendous problem be-
fore it to get relief and stores to
him.
