An Historic Landmark Gone.

The old Paul Revere house in Water
town, Mass, was torn down recently
In the march OF building progress. This
old landmark has been the object Of In

antique. In the provincial congress,
which met in May, 1T75, Paul Revere
was authorized to prepare plates for
provincial notes to the amount of f100,-

In this building, and during the revolu-

of hand-hewed tlmbers, with large

WAR AS AN EDUCATOR.
What She Had Not Learned Was Mo-
Worth knowing.


She was winsome young wife, all
sweetness and pink shirt waist.
"Oh, Harold" she twittered over the
newspaper, ut is perfectly dreadful to
have a war and to read in the news
papers day after day of how the poor
soldiers are being killed, wounded and
missing but 1t Is an i'll wind that blows
no one any good, and, while there must
be all kinds of horrors, there Is in 1t
all an education for many who would
not otherwise be educated"
He had never heard her talk In such
a strain before, and he was greatly
surprised, not TO say alarmed.
why, DEAR" he replied, noting her
closely, what is itY'
II was thinking, Harold, what We
learn by hearing SO constantly about
the war, where it Is fought, and the
weapons with which 1t is fought. Why,

He stared at her quite helplessly.

she went ON, or would have gone had
he not stopped her.
Machine guns I guess you mean.

she did not wholly approve.
"Of course, l do, stupid" she re-
sponded with confidence. "A machete
Is machine, and of course, a machete
gun Is a machine gun, and what's the
difference, I'd like to know. 1t seems
to me that some people haven't learned
as much about the war rs they have

fore the smiling Harold and stepped
out upon the piazza, where she could
commune with herself undisturbed.

westerly incline of the mountainside,
and, looking backward down the slope,
1 saw two wolves break through the
underground of whortleberry bushes,
and had glimpses of others behind
them.
My next look was for tree that
could be climbed, and l was fortunate
in discovering one close at hand, low
in diameter at the base of the trunk,
which for ten feet up to the whorls Of
sturdy green boughs bristled with
stubs of dead limbs that made con-
venient steps.
My gun was of German make, rugged
with sling, which till now had al
ways thought useless appurtenance,
but in this emergency it proved quite
otherwise, when by singing the gun
over my back l got up, easily ard
quickly None too quickly, for in two
minutes the leaders of the pack were
beneath me, and glazing up at me with
cruel, hungry eyes, having evidently
seen my ascent, for they were not a;
fault a moment.
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
dog waiting for choice morsel, and
licking their slavering chops; some
gnawed at the trunk or made prodigi-
Gus leaps at the lower branches.
l climbed to secure and comfortable
seat on limb 20 feet from the ground,
and, after getting my breath, and my
nerves were little settled, tried the
effect of a charge of No. 6 on one of the
besiegers, as l got tolerable fair aim
at his uplifted muzzle through an open
ing. There was yelp of surprise and
pain, followed by general commo
ton among the crew, and when the
smoke had lifted above me 1 caught
glimpses of the stung brute clawing
his head with alternate forepaws.

Looking the ground over carefully.

Looking the ground over carefully
step by step, I had gone much further
than one who does not know how far a
mortally wounded grouse can fly would
think it of any use to search. when l

was wishing the poor fellow might
find my track and come up to me. when
the long-drawn, plaintive wall was re-
peated at point so distant from the
first that it was evident it could not
have been uttered by the same animal,
and presently it was taken up at an
other distant point.
Still cropping over the ground in
search of the dead bird, wondered at
SO many hounds having gone astray
that day, when, just as I found my bird
lying belly up, stone dead, also came
upon something that gave me start
ling enlightenment.
The fallen leaves and the soil were
torn and furrowed and stones and
patches of moss were overturned, in
evidence of desperate struggle, the
result of which was plainly shown by
the antlered skull and scattered bones
of a deer and mat of coarse gray hair
trodden into the mold.
Hiram's wolves were no harmless
creatures of the imagination, but saw
age realities, and chill ran down my
back as realized the probability that
the pack was now rallying on my trail.
I did not doubt that 1 had heard their
voices.
took my bearings and went forward
at my best pace with far less thought
of hunting than the fear of being hunt
ed. Thus 1 went on for half an hour,
hearing nothing but the swapping of
twigs and swish of branches made by
my own rapid progress, till clamor of
jays broke out 40 rods in my rear.
AS it drew near it was mingled with
the rustic and patter of many swift
feet I was near the crest of one of tn :

transferred the tobacco to pocket,
made cut of a small green limb firmly
on to the open cover for handle, and
had what promised to be serviceable
smelling ladle. Then, reaching out,
gathered some dry twigs and bits of
branches, and l soon had a small fire
burning in the center of the stub.
When it was well going held the i'm
provised ladle, with couple ounces of
shot in it, over the hottest place, and,
after some patient waiting, had the
satisfaction of seeing the separate pei
let's become little puddle of molten
lead. I managed to pour most of it
into the mold and got three good bull
let's at the first smelling, but lost one,
which fell to the ground.
Better luck attended three more sue
cessive trials, which gave me 10 bullets,
making Is in all, which thought might
answer my purpose, and whipped out
the fire with a green branch.
1t was now near shutdown, so there
was uo tlLue 10 ne lOSC IL was TO get
away by daylight.
The bullets were much too small for
the bore of my gun, therefore put two
in each barrel, with light charge of
shot, and descended to the lower
branch, where I seated myself upon the
one where l could get the clearest view
of the ground.
The wolves greeted my reappear-
ance with a chorus of savage yelps as
they gathered eagerly beneath me,
swapping and snariing, each struggling
for the nearest place that he might be
first at the expected feast. One grizzled
old fellow, the patriarch of the tribe,
who had curled himself up in the fallen
treetop, to bide my downfall, now had
his philosophical patience overcome
and limped forth from his lair, sneak

me. The largest and strongest of the

evident that instead of driving off my
assailants the sting of the small shot
made them the more savagely persist
ent. tried smuggling the shot in a cart
ridge made of bit of the lining of my
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 n
prospect less agreeable than that of
subsisting on raw partridge flesh.
Then it 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
began the ascent. But ten feet further
up the pine came to an end, for there
the whole top was broken off just above
a whorl of stout branches onto which
climbed, but could get no outlool,
through the tree tops.
I filled and lighted my pipe, and.
CHANGING to throw the unextinguished
match onto the stub, which was broken
about square across, and was at least
a foot in diameter, it ignited handful
of dry pine needles that alighted there.
The flame lasted but moment, yet
long enough to suggest the idea that
fire enough might be built here to roast
small bits of the partridge, and close
upon this followed another, which gave
me hope of deliverance.
There was the bullet mold in my
pocket, and if I could but manage to
turn my paltry shot into dozen good
solid balls I would soon rid myself of
the wolves. AS I was refilling my pipe
with a view of stimulating invention
my tobacco box gave me a clew to a
solution of the problem. 1t was an old
fashioned steel box with hinged cover
