THE MOOSE HUNTER.
How the dangerous sport Of the
Maine Woods Tries "a Mans
MettIe.

There is no better test Of what
there is of a nan than to strip him OF
the conventionalities and accessories
of civilization and leave him to his
own u In the heart of a Wild
erness like that of Maine. Some of
those whom the world esteems great
and wise would starve forthwith,
while many of those who live and die
unknown to fame would wax and
grow fat" There Is one denizen Of
the Maine woods, says Forest and
Stream, that stands preeminent to
all others which claim the attention
of sportsmen-preeminent in size,
prominent in the uncouth grandeur
OF his gigantic bulk, preeminent in
the time, labor and skill involved In
his capture, and preeminent in power
to thrill the steadiest nerves and
cause the blood to flow In quick
throbbing beats like quicksilver In
the veins.
The sportsman who has not con
fronted o bull moose in his native
wilds has missed an experience which
Is well worth the best year Of his
life. I speak advisedly, for I have
been there. Imagine, If you can, a
huge bundle of muscular power,
reared on great, stiftlike legs to a
height OF seven feet, with bristling
name, and eyes which CLEAN vicious
ly from beneath broad, massive ant
lers which sway with the huge head
eight to ten feet above the ground.
Imagine yourself standing, If you
have strength to stand, in front of
this frightful apparition, and only a
few yards distant, with the knowl-
edge that If you don't kill him he will
very likely kill you, your heart throb-
bling so painfully that your ears fair
ly ache with its pulsations, the blood
through your veins like molten
lead, the sweat starting from every
pore in your skin, while your brain
in vain to regain control of the
tumult which possesses you.
imagine all this, if you can, and then
multiply the sensations which ii calls
up two or three million times, more
less, and you will have a result
which approaches the reality in mag
litude. The man who sends every
bullet straight to the mark under
iuch conditions as these should be
excused if he brags a little about it
Ifterward. He should also be excused
{ he does some very foolish things

: The ship subsidy bill will have
bitter opposition IN both the house
and senate. The object Of the bill ia
to secure an increase in American
ships engaged in the foreign carrying
trade. At present less than 10 per
of the foreign commerce IT the United
States is carried by American ships,
Vast sums OF money are paid yearly
to foreign vessel owners for carrying
American goods. The subsidy bill
provides for paying certain bonuses
to American built or owned ships.
and the total amount to be expended
yearly cam Ut exceed $4,000, 900.
There is no doubt but the subsidy
would Increase the number of vessels
under the American flag Some
means should be devised to build up
the American merchant marine, but
there Is IL wide difference of opinion
as to the wisdom of the present sub
sidy bill.

court will soon decide whether
or not the CONSTITUTION follows
