into deep water, however, It had sue
cccded, by q series Of jerks, in shaking
the rope over one of its ears, ana the
next moment was free, its new and
short, stumpy horns being insufficient
to retain the line.
"Its first act upon finding that there
was no longer any strain upon it was
to turn round to see If 1t was really
free. Finding the rope no longer sus-
pended from it's neck, IL shook it's head
gayly and trotted off into the woods.
AS st disappeared among the trees We
noticed that IL had about thirty feet OF
rope dangling from one Of its front
legs. We put the steamer about again
and lcapcd ashore to follow the cs-
capped prisoner but without success. n
little later 1t came out of the woods
200 yards below and again took to the
water. It did not swim far enough
| from land to enable us TO get between
! it and the shore. but had evidently
| come down for a bath to escape from
! the myriads OF flies that chung to its
! eyes, nose and the dreadful sores upon
! it's neck where it had been Chafed by
! the rope. Its tongue was hanging out
! and it gaZed curiously at the steamer
! until 1t had disappeared from view
around n neighburing point on its way
home to it's dock. There is no doubt" ,"
said Joe, that If we had kept the
brute in the water when we first had it
there, we should have succeeded in
keeping 1t q prisoner"
o
The whole adventure was so remark
able in character that all the men who
participated in it agree that they would
| not have believed it had they not seen
1t. Joe Dechene undoubtedly owes his
life to the fact that he followed his
brother-in-law's advice when engaged
in chasing the moose in his canoe
They gained rapidly on the animal, and
Colonel Blair declares that he seldom
saw a prettier sight than the manner
in which the two French-Canadian
guides made the birch bark leap and
dart over the surface of the water as
if it We're itself a thing of life and ac-
ton. AS they approached the moose
Joe wanted to catch it by the tail and
thus compel it to tow them ashore
Loni Muir objected, saying that he was
not yet ready to be killed, and Joe saw
quite enough of the brute's strength
and strange antics later to make him
thankful that he is alive and well to
day, and that Loni interposed an OBJ
lection to his original plan Of captur
ing live moose.

would choke to death, and I called to
the engineer to go ashore, so that we
might secure 1t in some other manner.

to running ashore with the animal,

tir Newest Acquisition.


t Newest Acquisition.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Now that
the producers. manufacturers and mer-
chants OF the United states VIII, on Eco
ruarfl, for the frs, time, have equal
access with other par;e OF the world
to the markets Of Porto Rico. come facts
as to the requirements OF the people OF
that Island Will be interesting. Under
Spanish rule and the tariffs framed
b. Spanish Ingenuity, very large pro-
portion OF the imports Into the Island
almost necessarily came from Spain,
the duties on goods from that country
being but a, small fraction OF those on
goods from other parts OF the world.
The new tariff which goes Into effect
on February l., places all countries Of
precisely the same footing with refer
ence to their goods imported into Porto
Rico, and thus for the first time the
people OF that Island Will have an op-
portunltv of exercising their judgment
and wishes free from control as TO
where thev shall purchase and what
they Shall purchase.
Their imports for the past few years
have ranged from twelve millions TO
fifteen millions OF dollars annually,
sometimes reaching as much as seven
teen millions or eighteen millions OF
dollars. though they have been some
what difficult of accurate measurement
by reason of the ilGctuat!On OF their cur
rency. il! s safe 10 say In gens"al terms
that Porto Rico offers an annual market
for fifteen million dollars worth OF goods
and that this will be very materially In
creased as the conditions of the PEG .
pie Improve and the market is jullc!ous-
ly cultivated by American energy and
Intelligence. The producing, manueac-
turing and business centres Of the
United States are. OF course. much near
c" to Porto Rico than those OF any other
part OF the world. and the people Of
that Island, by reason of their new re-
lntonship, are more than ever disposed
TO cultivate this market In their pur-
chases as well us In their sales.
