A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
Terrible Experience of Hunter
with nm Indian Bind.

One of the most remarkable instances
of the escape of n white man from the
Indians was that of John Golfer. a IA
nous hunter and trapper. On the day
in question he and his companion were
surrounded by 600 savage warriors.
The companion was instantly killed,
and Golfer was captured. His foes had
no intention Of saving his life, how
ever. They wanted the sport of put
ting him to the torture or ut least of
playing with him as a cat plays with n
mouse. The chief asked him if he
could run. He said, mot much"
He was released and told to save his
life if he could.
Golfer darted away at high speed,
and most of the 600 savages set off aft
er him. There was plain before him
six miles wide, bounded on the far side
by river fringed with trees. Golfer
had always been famous as n runner,
and his practice now stood him in good
stead. He made straight across the
plain for the stream, and the yells Of
his pursuers lent him wings. His foes
had removed every shred of clothing
from his body, and the plain was COW
cred with prickly pears, so that his I'M
protected feet were lacerated at every
stride.
Half way 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 a
hasty backward look showed him the
pursuing brave close upon him with
spear raised. Moved by a sudden i'm
pulse, Golfer 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 their comrade
but Golfer reached the trees, plunged

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 fine
him. Again and again they walked
over the driftwood. Luckily they die
not fire it, as he feared they would
At last they went away. Then Golfer

Seven days he went on. living OIL

The UDndv Bows.

The "bad" boys are often the best
boys in the neighborhood. All they
want is chance to do something.
Don't expect healthy, active boys to
want to be tied up in books and so
called improving occupations cOntinu-
ally. If boys are not given good IDEAS
to work upon, such as they always get
in kindergartens, manual training and
other up to date schools, they are sure
to be in harmful mischief, because
boys with vim and get there" in them
are bound to be busy. Give them tools
and materials to work with; encourage
them to make sleds, carts, boats and
various kinds of playthings. Don't
ever give bad" boy up. Give him
something TO do.
