A NORTH CREEK TALE.
Being the Truthfu1 Narrative of a Wonderful Hunting Experience
 by a Truthful Man.

l
 The following nara tive was written by the veracious North Creek corre- spondent of the Troy Press:
 George Little has lived all his life in the Adirondacks and the fish and game stories he tells are worth travelling many miles to hear. Some years ago when he had charge of camp for the late Speaker Husted and Dr. Hayes he was out hunting and fishing on Ra- quette lake. He discovered a flock of wild. geese flying in the shape of a V He was in the act of loading his gun which was of the ,muzzle-1oading pattern, and not having time to with draw the ramrod, fired, and then wad- ed across Alder brook to bag them. On going through the water brass button on his pantaloons flew off and as he reached shore he found 70pounds of trout in his pants, which was the cause of the button disappearing, and about four rods away lay fine deer dead. He then went to secure his geese, and on his ramrod sticking in a tree hung IT of the birds pierced through the neck. He then brought his game safely to camp, and when he dressed the deer he found the brass button imbedded in his heart. If any one doubts this story he has the brass button to show.

STORY OF A MODERN RUTH.
Remarkable Feats Performed by PennsyIvania Girl Working as
 a Farm Hand.

The Ruth of biblical fame and com mendatiop has most admira ble coun- terpart in eastern Pennsylvania, her home being at Myerstown This mod ern daughter ofNaomi is named Mary Swanger and she can perform not only all the duties of the house, but she has an unconquerable delight in working in the harvest field and performing other labors which belong properly to farm hands, reports an eastern ex- change.
 Miss Swanger is visiting at the home of Samuel Phillips, the proprietor of a large stock farm near Lebanon. It is frequent sight to see her assist ing in the harvest field and doing other manual labor about the place. Miss Swanger declares that she does the work, not from necessity, but from choice. She believes that all women should do outdoor work of this charac- ter for their own physical develop ment, and that if they did, the Amer ican women would bestronger and hap pier.
 , Suiting her belief to action, Miss Swanger has performed two feats which the neighbors. consider marvel ous. One of these was. to shovel 1,5oo bushels of corn into 8 sheller with on interval of but 15 minutes for rest The other was to. unload 15 wago, loads of grain in the sheaf and pitcs it into the loft of Mir. Phillips barn Miss Swanger is a highly educated young woman, and her feats are the talk of the neighborhood.

PRIMEvAL NORTH AMERICA.
Population Spread Northward as the Ice Belt Receded, aus Indicated
 by Signs of Progress.

The primeval people of both North and South America originated from a i civilization of high degree which oc. cupied the subequatorial belt some 1O,eO0 years ago while the glacial sheet fwas still on, says Harper's Magazine. Population spread northward as the ice receded. Routes of exodus diverg- ing from the central point of departure are plainly marked by ruins and rec ords. The subsequent settlements in Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, Colo rado, Utah and California indicate the successive stages of advance, as well as the persistent struggle to maintain the ancient civilization against re version and eatastrophes of nature. The varying architecture of the valleys. cliffs and mesas is an inte1Igible ex. pression of the exigencies which stim- ulated the builders. The gradual dis tribution of population over the high CT attitudes in after years was supple mented by accretions from Europe and northern Asia centuries before the coming of Columbus. Wars and re- prisals were the natural and inevitable results of mixed and degenerating population with different dialects. The mounds which cover the mid-conti- mental areas, isolated and in groups tell the story thereof. The Corean i'm migration of the year 544, historically cited, which led to the founding of the Mexican empire in 1925, was but an incidental contribution to the growing population of North America. So. also. were the very much earlier migrations. from Central America across the Gulf of Mexico.

WORLD APPEALED TO.
Boer Generals Ask Help For
 Their People.
BRITISH AID IS INSUFFICIENT.
Whe Small Amount Given by Great Britain if Multiplied TenfoId
 Would Not Cover War TUuaos

! AMSTERDAM, Sept. 24.-The Boer generals Botha, De Wet and Delarey have issued a manifesto in the shape of an appeal to the civilized world. This document recalls how after the terrible struggle in South Africa and the Boers were compelled to accept the British terms of peace the generals were commissioned to proceed to Eng land and appeal to the new government to allay the distress which is devas- tating the colonies and in the event of the failure of the mission to appeal to the civilized world for charitable con fributions.
 Continuing, the generals say that, having failed to induce Great Britain to grant further assistance, it only re- mains for them to address themselves to the people of Europe and America.
 After setting forth how sweet it had been during the critical days they had passed through to receive constant marks of sympathy the generals take this opportunity to express on behalf of the people of the late republic fer vent thanks to all those who had as- sisted charitably the women and chill dren in the concentration camps, pris- oners, etc., ''The small Boer nation" goes on the manifesto, tcan never for get the help it received in it's dark hours of suffering. Our people are completely ruined It has been impos- sible to make a complete inventory, but we are convinced that at least 30, 900 houses on Boer farms and many villages were burned or destroyed by the British during the war. Every thing was destroyed, and the country was completely laid waste. The war demanded many victims, the land was bathed in tears, and our orphans and widows were abandoned. We are ap- pealing to the world for contributions to assist the destitute and help in the education Of children"
 The generals repudiate all desire to inflame the minds of the people and declare, 'aThe sword is now sheathed, and all differences are silent in the presence of such misery"
 They say the small amount given by Great Britain even if multiplied ten fold would not suffice to cover the war losses alone.
 ssWe solicit the hearty cooperation of all existing committees in the various countries which we are on the point of visiting with the object of establishing satisfactory organization"
 The manifesto is signed by General Botha, General De Wet and General Delarey

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. 24.-If the lawless outbreaks in the Wyoming region continue, Sheriff Jacobs will un- doubtedly follow the example of Sher- if Schadt of Lackawanna county and call upon Governor Stone for troops. Several squads of deputy sheriffs have been kept busy suppressing disorders. Last evening five carpenters employed at the Conyham mine of the Delaware and Hudson company while on their way home were held up by crowd of men and boys.

X stray bullet from one of the deputy s guns lodged in the shoulder of bos named James Ro- land, who was at work in the yard of the Sheldon Axle works, some distance away. A deputy named Joseph Kess- Ter was arrested. charged with the shooting, and was committed to jail for hearing.
 Unknown parties placed several sticks of dynamite under the house of Joseph Harrison, at Plymouth, but a timely discovery prevented the explo- sion.
 Two nonunion workmen at Plym- outh were held up and beaten. Twen- ty-fve deputy sheriffs went to Warrior Run to quell a disturbance there in which nonunion men were attacked.
 At Hughestown, near Pittston, 17 a number of nonunion workers to washery.. The engine and two cars left the track, and two men sustained slight injuries. A number of coal and iron police dispersed the crowd.
