How He Saved Himself.
same.

A prominent clergyman used to tell
Of one Of his parishiOners who had
been very sick: A physician had given
him some medicine and told him he
could go out. but under ITO circum-
stances was he to get wet. The man
went out Oh the farm and Il shower OF
rain came up suddenly. There was no
shelter near, and to save himself he
crawled into a hollow log. The action
of the rain caused the log 10 shrink so
rs to endanger his life.
He could not move, and being
brought face to face with death the
whole Of his past life came before him
as in a panorama. He remembered the
days Of his childhood, his entrance
upon life, his successes and his sins,
then he remembered. last of ALL that
when he left home that morning he re-
fused his wife, when she ASKED him for
fifty cents for the church. and the
thought made him feel so small that he
had no difficulty in getting out of the
lOg.-Grace Church Bells.

Tho Tallest Corn.

The number of farmers in Missouri,

raised the tallest corn is equalled only
by the total number of farmers who
planted that corn and the talIest stalks
have not been able to equal the ordi-
narily tall stories told about them.

give to John Martin, of Platte County,
Missouri, the honor of raising the tall

MOOSE A,sp accosor,vra !.

The spunky ana stubburn bull moose
has again been defyjng the locomotive
In Maine, with the usual disastrous
results-to the moose. This time a
whole moose family was wiped out
In about ten seconds. making n great
waste Of big game and lot of work
for the section men.
It was on Tuesday last that the
engineer Of a freight train on the
Bangor and Aroostook. road. as !, his
locomotive rounded sharp curve on
down grade, saw on the track q
few rods ahead. three moose-a big
bull, COW and calf. He sounded
the whistle expecting to see the whole
family make break for the woods,
but they stood their ground. and the
bull, with q snort of defiance, braced
himself for the combat. swinging his
great antlered head as though he ex-
pected to toss the locomotive sky
high.
The shrek Of the whistle sent men
scurrying over the tops OF the cars,
setting brakes, while the engineer had
the brakes on locomotive and tender
clamped up SO tightly that the wheels
were sliding and smoking over the
rails. The speed Of the train and its
to be overcome in the short distance,
and down swept the fast freight upon
the heroic moose family. There was
a crash and crunching under the
wheels, while blood spattered over
the boiler head, and fragments Of
moose went whirling through the air.
When, q few rods further on, the
train was brought to stop, 1t was
found that all three of the moose had
been killed, the carcasses of the COW
and the calf being thrown some dis
tance from the track, while the car
cass of the bull had been ground
under the wheels. At the next station
the section boss was informed, and
crew was sent back to bury the
moose family. The men said that the
bull was monster-one Of the largest
ever seen along the line Of the Aroo-
stock road.
A few days ago train on the Inter-
colonial railway ran race with a
big moose which was promenading
the track near Dalhousie junction.
The moose ran for half mile or more
at surprising speed. and then. finding
that the footing was bad on the ties,
left the track and ran along in the
ditch. Here the animal tried to jump
high wire fence. but stuck half way
over and hung there while the train
came TIP. One Of the passengers says
that the moose looked puzzled and
ashamed when the train passed him.

creased. There appears to be little doubt that
the contests will be held on the courts OF the
Crescent Athletic Club. at Bay Ridge. Two
other organizations have been referred to-the
St. Georges CrickAt Club, at Hoboken, and the
Orange Lawn Tennis Club, at Mountain Station.
From the information that has come from the

Brooklyn organization will have the honor of
holding the competitions. 1t is hoped that the
English players will be able to compete in con-
tests outside of the international matches and
the Newport tournament, particularly in the big
tourney on the Longwood courts, near Boston
