GOLFERS WONDERFUL ESCAPE

| An Experience From Which Noted
 Hunter and Trapper Never Fully
 Recovered
 One of the most remarkable in-
 stances Of the escape of a white man
 from the Indians was that of John | Colter. a famous hunter and trapper. On the day in question he and his
 companion were surrounded by 600
 savage warriors. The companion was instantly killed and Colter was cap i tured His foes had no intention of
 saving his life. however; they wanted
 the sport of putting him to the torture
 or at least of playing with him as eat
 plays with a mouse. The chief asked
 if he could run. He said. Not much" !" 1 He was released and told to save his
 life if he could
 | Colter darted away at high speed
 and most of the 500 savages set off after | him. There was plain before him six
 miles wide. bounded on the far side by a river fringed with trees. Colter had always been famous al a runner and
 his practice now stood him in good stead. He made straight across the plain for the stream, and the wells of his pursuers lent him wings His foes had removed every shred of clothing from his body, and the plain was cov- cred with prickly pears, so that his unprotected feet were lacerated at every stride.
 Halfway across the plain he glanced back and saw that only a few Indians were following him. Again he ran on. and soon realized that one of his pur- suers was nearing him. He redoubled his efforts, and blood gushed from his nostrils and flowed down over his breast. The fringe of trees was near. but hasty backward look showed him the pursuing brave close upon him with spear raised. Moved by a sudden impulse Colter stopped, turned and faced the savage with outstretched arms. The Indian was so taken aback at this unexpected movement that he stumbled and fell. This was Golfers opportunity He ran back seized the spear, and pinning his antagonist to the ground, ran on.
 Other savages came on, fiercer than before at the death Of thelr Comrade; but Colter reached the trees plunged into their midst and then into the river and swam to a pile of driftwood that had lodged, He dived beneath it and stuck his head up between two logs covered with smaller timbers and brush. The Indians came up and searched for several hours, but failed to find him. Again and again they walked over the driftwood. Luckily they did not fire it, as he feared they would. At last they went away. Then Colter swam out and fled through the forest.
 Seven days he went on, living on roots and berries with no clothing, un- til at last he reached a trading post on the Big Horn river. He never fully re- covered from the effects of this terrible | experiences From the Youths Con- | panion.

WORTH OF SOME LONDON PROF.
 ERTY.

Land at G2,613,000 an acre does not frequently come into the market, even in London, but a few years ago, when the freehold of 54 Cheapside was sold, the sum it realized was at the above rate per acre; that is to say, a piece of ground, that could be covered by an ordinary penny postage stamp realized 6s 11l6 not at all a bad price for a paltry five of a square inch of real estate. Judging from the ground rent secured on 10 Cornhill, which five or six years ago realized G42,500, that is to say at the rate of practically e55 a square foot, or e2,452023 per acre
 there are many other delectable spots in the city worth their area in beaten gold, but it is wonderful how prices fall away when the site has not got a frontage on main piece of ground measuring twelve inches by twelve inches would doubtless be price that would tempt even an Irish landlord to part with his property.-Goo Words.

OF AMBULANCE DOGS.

UTILITY OF AMBULANCE DOGS
 An experiment made in the great ambulance maneuvers at Karlsruhe in Baden, by the general commanding the Fourteenth army corps ambulance was decisive of the great utility of the dogs in that service. In the first trial by daylight two dogs were used, cross bred shepherd dogs. The judge of the trials ordered the edge of a close forest to be searched by these animals for a distance of half a mile in length by a quarter of a mile In width; and after twenty minutes the dogs had dis covered eleven men representing the wounded. In the night trial the ground to be searched was a forest land With thick undergrowth of blackberry bush es The night was pitch dark and the three dogs which were sent out could be followed by their keepers only with the greatest difficulty. though every dog carried a bell on his neck to en- able the keepers to follow them more surely, Then casualties had been put out for the dogs to retrieve, and in half and hour every one of these ten had been discovered by the dogs and rescued by the keepers,-Animal Friends.
