Peter Steinholtz, OF Williamsport
Penn, nearly froze to death the other
day in tree, up which he had climbed
to escape from black bear. He was
ehopping wood on Dingman Run, in
the western part OF Potter County.
His lunch basket was about a stones

was working. He had left part of his
dinner untouched.
Toward evening his attention was
attracted by a growing. A good sized

An Army Incident

A pathetic story comes from a Pitts
burg hospital to which a number Of
soldiers wounded and i'll with fever
were taken after the war with Spain.
One soldier, having been told that he
could not live, begged bis nurse to see
that he was buried in his uniform.
She went to find it, and was told
that it was so ragged and stiff with
blood that it had been burned "What
am 1 to do?" she cried. 81 cannot
find a uniform anywhere"
Hearing this, a poor fellow from
West Virginia, who was just able to
hobble about, went to his room,
stripped off his uniform torn and
worn, but it was all he had, and
clothed himself as best he could in
some old rags.
Take him this" he said, coming
out. 1T doesn't matter for me what
clothes l wear"
The uniform was taken to the dying
man, who closed his eyes satisfied that
he should sleep in his grave clad in
the livery of his country.
1t Is pleasant to know that the story
reached some friends of the soldiers,
and that the generous-hearted West
Nirglnian went home also clad in the
uniform in which he had served his
country so well.--Youth's Compa lion.

The Port Townsend correspondent
of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says:
During the hurricane that prevailed
here on a recent night the steamer
Wildwood, lying at her dock, went to
the bottom of the bay. The cause of
the sinking is thought to have been
the result Of a drifting log striking
her, which, with the force of high
sea running, stove a hole in her.
At the time of sinking, one man
was aboard and asleep. The boats
cat, when the water nearly reached
the sleeper's bunk, scratched the man
in the face and was knocked into the
water in the cabin for her pains. The
cat again got on the bunk and again
scratched the man in the face, and at
the same time howled so vigorously
as to thoroughly awaken the sleeper,
who started to get up to put the cat
on the deck, when he discovered that
the boat was sinking. He made a
rush for the deck, just as the vessel
was going to the bottom, and sue
'ceeded in reaching the mast, on which
he climbed and saved himself from
drowning.
He yelled Justify and succeeded in
awakening Captain Fife, of the steamer
Angeles, who rescued him. His face
shows several severe scratches, in
ficted by the cat, and he says that if
it had not been for the cat he would
have been drowned in the cabin. He
regrets he did not have time to rescue
the feline which saved his life.

nerve-racking labor they succeeded in
hauling the chest to the sidewalk. To
do it they were compelled to cut away

The hosemen played water on the
chest until it had been cooled of. It
was then removed to place of safety.
