GREAT SPORT IN MAINE.

Hunters Secure Many Deer and
Moose-Mnsic'a Charm ON Game.
There were brought to Bangor. Me-,
from the game region recently 628
deer. a moose, 6 bears and q wildcat,
and In the month Of October the re-
ceipts were 1,942. deer. 81 moose and a
considerable number Of other animals
Of which no accurate account Is taken.
This is g. gain Of 443 deer over October,
1901, says the New York Tribune. The
total receipts for the season thus far
(Nov. g. nave been about $500 deer, or
about 500 more than at this date last
year, and 1t Is expected that all records
will be broken this season, the total re-
ceipts Of deer for 1902 being now esti-
mated at something over 5000. The
deer season. which began Oct. 1. will
end on Dec. Is. Moose are plentiful
this year, more than hundred having
thus far been brought to Bangor. The
moose season is from Oct. Is to Dec. l..
A story Is told by guides OF deer and
moose being charmed by music. The
guides say that this happened few
days ago on the west branch of the
Penobscot, where a Bangor musician
was camping not to shoot, but for rest
and study. At sunset one evening the
musician began to practice on violin
and had not played long when he
heard a rustling in the bushes and saw
q young doe come out into the clearing
and stand timidly at some little dis
lance. listening to che music. Soon
other deer came out while the ground
was alive with sma4.er animals, and
moose lowered near by. People laugh
at this story. but the guides declare
that 1T Is true. The musician himself
has nothing to say.

THANKSGIVING PIES.
Hints on Serving Them For the Fes-
tive Repast.

Hints on Serving Them For the Fes-
tive Repast.
When it comes to sweets, pie is Of
course the one thing needful. There
are persons who insist upon a plum
pudding at Thanksgiving, but they
have no true sense Of the fitness of
things. Pies of as many kinds as you
wish may be there. Apple pie, MARI
borough pie, cranberry pie or pies OF
any other sort may be served, but the
main items must be pumpkin and
mince pies, says Harper's Bazaar. To
vary the appearance Of these the
pumpkin pies may be baked in small
shells Of crust, while the mince pie
should be in large pie plate, the top
not closed in with solid crust, but
made beautiful with latticework of
strips cut with a jigging iron.
Such pie is far better than the
mince pie which is "kivered." With a
piece Of this and whole small pump
kin pie to oneself one may indeed feel
it possible to touch heaven with the
finger. Whether or not the heaven
touching experience Is likely to be a
real one before many hours depends
somewhat on the constitution Of the
eater. Cheese must be passed at this
stage Of the festive repast-
A Clever Cat.
A young lady once had cat that
amused itself by drawing all the
pins out of the cushion. When the
last was removed, it looked up into
its mistress face with an expression
that meant, 'sPlease stick them in
again." And as often as they were
put in just as often were they drawn
out. This cat had another favorite
amusement. If a vase of flowers
stood within reach, it used to pick
the flowers out one by one and eat
them.

SERUM FOR SCARLET FEVER
Important Progress In the Treat
ment of a Dread Disease.

Important Progress In the Treat
ment of a Dread Disease.
Steps Of the first Importance in the
treatment of scarlet fever have been
made possible by the studies Of DR..
6. A. Charlton, until recently in charge
OF the civic hospital and now Rockefel-
Ter fellow of pathology in the medical
faculty of McGill university at Mont
real, says the New York Tribune. DR..
Paul Moses Of Vienna has been work
ing on similar lines with such good
effect that the Austrian government
has decided to grant a considerable
sum for providing the hospitals with
his remedy, but Dr. Charlton has indie
pendently discovered the same meth
DDS, that promise to reduce the terrors
Of scarlet fever as completely as anti
toxin has done in the case of diph-
liberia.
There is" said DR.. Charlton in dis
cussing the matter, "a parasite in the
system Of patients suffering from Sc
we're forms of scarlet fever known as
the streptococcus. 1t is not the eXcit-
Ing cause Of the disease and is not
present in the light cases, but it seems
to lead to a secondary infection when
once the disease has been contracted
and to be largely responsible for the
high fever, the suppuration of the ear
and other dangerous symptoms asso-
ciated with the complaint.
'This organism is combated with
serum prepared under the direction of
DR.. Hubert Of Detroit Its success
may be judged of by the fact that in
fifteen cases, most Of which would I'M
der ordinary treatment have ended IA
tally or at least in which the patients
would have suffered from lingering
and troublesome complications, thir-
teen made prompt recoveries, almost
free from complications OF the two
patients that died one succumbed five
hours after admission to the hospital
and the other was carried off by an
attack Of diphtheria. The results pro-
duced by the serum were the rapid sub
sidence Of the fever, an improved
pulse, an absence and a marked ameli-
grafton Of the suppuration of the ear
and other troubles and a rapid con-
valescence. With such a remedy the
worst features Of the disease seem abb
solutely suppressed"

Charlton spent some months at the

MORGAN AND THE NEWSBOY
Great Magnate's Deal With Small
Newspaper Merchant.


Newspaper Merchant
While j. 2. Morgan was driving
down Nassau street to his office in q
hired closed cab the other day, says
the New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press, he was recognized
by little newsboy as the cab passed
Liberty street. He darted toward the
cab and, running alongside it, shouted
at the top of his voice: eli, Mr.. Nor
gan! Coal strike extra " at the same
time fourishing a newspaper in front
Of the cab window.
Either something in the paper at
tracted Mr.. Morgan's attention or he
was pleased at the lads familiarity.
He reached for the paper and threw
the boy half dollar The little fellow
picked up the money and, without hes
1tat1ng, ran after the cab again and
jumped ON behind.
Before the cab pulled I'D at Mr.. Nor
gan's office the newsboy was already
on the sidewalk waiting for it to stop.
AS Mr.. Morgan stepped out the urchin
approached him and, holding the
change from the fifty cent piece in h.,
outstretched hand, said:
eyer change, Mr.. Morgan"
"Why, my little man." said Mr.. Nor
gan in some astonishment, "what is
this for?"
Eyer give me so cents fer the paper
yer jist bought, an this is yer change,
SIR" replied the boy.
"Oh, never mind that Keep the
money, keep it-and take this. There's
a peach cart over there" Here Mr..
Morgan d1ved into pocket and fished
out another fifty cent piece, which he
gave to the urchin, and, clapping him
on the back, turned and walked briskly
into his Office.

RUSSELL SAGE'S ANXIETY
Couldn't Wait Until After Church
For Wall Street News.

For Wall Street News.
AS an illustration of Russell Sage's
eager desire to keep in close touch
with what is going on in the financial
world a Wall street broker tells this:
An important meeting was scheduled
for a day on which Mr.. Sage was IN
usually busy, and when he arrived at
the designated place the deliberations
were over and all the participants had
dispersed. Use the telephone as he
would, Mr.. Sage could not get in COM
munication with any of them. Know
ing that one Of those who had attend
ed the gathering passed the plate at a
midweek service in a church near his
home, Mr.. Sage went there. He did
not wait for the close of the service.
but, taking a seat on the aisle through
which his acquaintance passed, he
waited until he came along with the
plate and as he put dollar bill on it
remarked:

down there today? did not get around
In time"
The gentleman spoken to smiled and

WEALTH IN CORNCOBS.
4 Mysterious Mill In Indiana Makes
f,3s ax Much Money 50 ~

~ Much Money 50 .ra-
Greentown's corncob mill is doing
rushing business now, says an Indian
apolis dispatch, and this fact has re-
newed interest in the puzzling ques-
ton Of what this big industry really
Is. It has become the corncob center
Of the Hoosier State, but little more is
known Of what becomes of the product
from the cobs than when the business
started up three years ago.
It Is said the corncobs are ground
into meal. This explanation is by no
means sure, for the greatest secrecy is
maintained about the factory, and up
to date none but employees has
gained access to the buildings, and all
they know is that they grind up the
corncobs, draw their pay and ask no
questions.
That the company has found some
thing rich in corncobs is certain, for the
mills are kept running to their full
capacity. The rumor is that the corn
cobs are ground up into three grades
of meal. The finest is said to go into
some kind Of shredded biscuit, the sec.
ond or red grade to the eastern brew
cries for the coloring of beer, and the
third or mixed grade into a mixture
of ground feed composed of corn and
oats.
Much secrecy attends the shipment
Of corona" as the townspeople have
come to call it. The ground corncobs
are sacked up and carried aboard
waiting cars with as great precaution
as marks the carrying of currency
from the treasury at Washington.
