A story illustrating the courage OF
moose and their devotion to their
young Is related by a Maine guide. says
the Sun. He was with y party Of
sportsmen from New York and Bos-
ton. hunting big game in the Bangor
and AroOstook region. One morning
after a light fall OF snow they came
upon the tracks OF thres moose, ap-
parently a bun, a COW and a calf. which
they followed. Some distance further
on side Hill they found signs Of a
struggle. evidently between the moose
and some other ANIMAL mountain
lion or wildcat. The snow vas covered
with blood spots. showing that the
fight had been fierce. The sportsmen
and guide continued TO follow the
tracks and &C intervals found evidence
Of further encounters Finally the
party heard sounds OF battle ahead.
As they mounted the crest OF a hill
a peculiar sight met their gaze. Re-
treating as rapidly as possible under
the circumstances was a gOOd-siZed
COW moose perehed upon whose back
was a calf that had apparently been
injured, while a little in front OF the
COW q large bull moose was engaged in
a desperate fight with an enormous
Wild cat, the largest cat the guide had
ever seen. The party watched the fight
for some minutes. until finally with a
sweep Of his antlers the moose dealt a
blow that seemed TO disable the cat.
The hunters might easily have killed
the bull then and there, but their ad-
miration for the pluck and resourceful-
ness Of the moose family saved the big
fellow. When the wildcat tried to get
away he was quickly shot The three
moose moved rapidly out OF sight,
without, to all appearance. having no
uced the presence OF the hunters. The
calf had been in some manner so in
jured that he could not walk, and his
intelligent parents had arranged to
carry him, pappoOse. style. upon the
broad back Of the mother. While trav-
cling in this fashion. evidently, the
family had been attacked by the wild
cat, a beast that at times will tackle
from a dog TO a locomotive.

A few months ago Capt A. F. Lucas
was q STRANGER in Texas. Folks
laughed at his efforts to ind Oh IN
the soil OF the Lone Star state and
regarded him with contempt and pity.
Today he Is q big man in the state
and may be one OF the next candi-
dates for governor. Success has
caused the change in sentiment. Lucas
has struck It rich. His gusher at
Beaumont, about which much has ap-
peared in print, has a fiow Of 10000
barrels a day, which Is over four times
that Of the largest one known in the
United States up 70 the present time.
Before the well was closed, the oil
flowed into a temporary reservoir
which had been formed about the well
by throwing up a temporary embank-
ment. This reservoir covered 81 acres
Of ground 10 inches deep. The bank
gave way in one place and about 200
900 barrels Of oil escaped. Il is es-
timated that fully half a million bar
rels are still in the lake. 1t is not
certain that this can be utilized, be-
cause It is so mixed with dirt that
its usefulness Is doubtful. The well
Is now closed and to handle the out
put the most expensive plant in the
world Is being built A half million
dollars will be invested In tanks alone.
So strong is the pressure Of the well
It Is estimated a vessel Of from 1000
to 5000 tons capacity can be loaded
in less than "a hours.
Lucas went to Texas from Washing
ton two years ago. The locality in
which the well is situated has long
been regarded as rich in oil, but nu-
merous attempts to strike 1t, prior 10
Lucas arrival, had failed. When
Lucas appeared people ridiculed his
efforts, but he was persistent and on
the morning Of January 10 oil was
struck. From a poor man Lucas has

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
The Wife and Mothsr-In-LaW OF Mr..
Charles Keys

CLARISSA. MINI, April IS. (Spe-
cial.)-No family in this vicinity is
better known or more universally re-
spected, than Mr.. Charles Keys, the
local School Teacher, and his estima-
bic wife, and mother-in-law. For a
long time, Mrs. Keys has been in I'll
health. Recently, however. she has
found a cure for her ailments in Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
Il cannot speak too highly OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills, or Of what they
have done for me-" said Mrs. Keys.
Ny life was miserable, my back
always ached, also my head. I was
troubled with Neuralgia in the head
and face and suffered extreme pain,
but thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills. all
those aches and pains have vanished
like the morning dew, and 1t now
seems that life is worth living. I con-
slider Dodd's Kidney Pills a GOd-send
to suffering humanity. They may
rightly be named the Elixir Of Youth.
While speaking OF my own case

ceived, I might also add, that my
mother. who is now an old lady Of
"a years and who lives with me, has
been troubled more or less. with aches
and pains. as is natural with one OF
her advanced age. When she saw
what Dodd's Kidney Pills had done for
me, she commenced to use them her
self, and she says that they have uone
her more good than any other medi-
cine she has ever tried.
This testimony is given IN the
hope that others who may be az
hicted as We were. may see and read
1t, and be benefited by it."
What Mrs. Keys states in her letter
can be verified by reference to any Of
her many friends in this neighbor-
hood. Dodd's Kidney Pills have al
ready a wonderful reputation in Todd
County.
Nothing has ever cured Bright's
Disease. Diabetes or Dropsy but Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

1T would kill me in a year" This is
what Theodore Roosevelt wrote twelve
months ago to friend in Washington.
He was protesting against the consid-
Grafton Of himself for vice president.
He wished TO convey a strong impress
sion OF how irksome the performance
Of the duties would be II he should be
nominated and elected. Well. writes a
Washington correspondent, Vice Presi-
dent Roosevelt has had his first turn at
the gavel. Just after adjournment OF
the extra session some one asked him
how he liked It." Immensely, like
it immensely" replied the vice presi-
dent His face lighted up and thefe
was no mistaking the genuineness. Mr..
Roosevelt is most agreeably surprised
by his first experience as presiding
ofhceT Of the United States senate. He
thought that sitting there hour after
hour would be unbearable for the lover
OF strenuous life. How does he interest
himself while the talk goes on hour
after hour? Whyi He ignores the
thread Of argument when It grows tire
some. He studies the senators. He
compares them individually to historic
characters. In this senator he finds the
counterpart Of some Grecian statesman
and his Imagination transforms the
American capitol into the Acropolis.
Then another is recognized and the
vice president. toying with the gavel,
sees a tOga take the place Of the Prince
Albert and the galleries fade away
while the outlines OF the forum come
dimly in view. For a dozen American
senators Mr.. Roosevelt has found thu
prototypes in ancient politics. He viii

ular session opens in December.

The liquor was at once forthcoming,
but instead Of gulping It down. as the

that he would do. he poured a little
into the palms Of his hands, rubbed
them together, and buried his nose
in his hands. He gave long-drawn
Eniffs Of inhalation until the liquor
had evaporated, and then poured more
from the glass into his hands. This
operation he repeated until the glass
was empty. Then he paid for his drink
