A party of prominent railroad
officials, of st. Paul, Mimi, while hunt
ing in the woods surrounding Cass
Lake, a country abounding with deer,
suddenly came upon Il splendid specis
men of the moose, near the fringe of
the wood. The moose emerged from
a tamarack swamp, and as soon as he
caught sight OF the hunters, four in
number, he charged them. They
dropped their guns and ran pell-mell
for shelter.
The only refuge was the braches
above them, and up into Il tree each
climbed. II. Parkhurst, Of the Mime
apolis office of the Great Northern, did
not hide himself and the moose charged
the tree, butting it furiously. In fright
Parkhurst dropped onto the back Of
the moose, clinging tightly. The moose
at once started off. Parkhursts clothes
were torn and his flesh bruised by the
wild ride to the lake. He attempted
to dismount, but was unable to do
so. The moose dashed over the frozen
edge Of the pond and plunged into the
water, which was icy cold. Parkhurst
floated Off the animals back and with
difficulty swan to the shore, where
his friends took him in charge.-Chi-

The pines are black on Sierra's slope,
And white are the drifted SHOWS;
The flowers are gone, the bucllthorn bare,
And chilly the north wind blows,
The pine-boughs creak,
And the pine-trees speak
A language the north wind knows.
There's never track leads in or out
Of the cave of the big brown bear;
The squirrels have hid in their deepest
holes,
And fastened the doors with care.
The red fox prowls,
And the lean wolf howls
As he hunts far down from the lair.
The eagle hangs on the wing all day,
On the chance of a single kill;
The little gray hawk hunts far and wide
Before he can get his fill.
The snow-wreaths sift,
And the blown SHOWS drift
To the canyons deep and still.
Mary Austin, in st. Nicholas.

In 1918 Lord William Pitt LennoX
sailed for Canada in the frigate Iphi-
genia. Just before o'clock one even
ing, under a freshening breeze, there
came the cry, Man overboardw "Clear
away the cutterr' cried Lieutenant
He then threw over a life
buoy, ordered the first lieutenant to
take care of the ship, and in another
instant went overheard himself after
the drowning man.
The frigate was going rapidly and
the wind was high. In few mo-
ments the heads of the struggling men
were out of sight. The cutter dropped
astern, shipped sea, and disappeared
in the darkness. For not ,nly was
night coming OH, but a dismal cloud,
which had been all day approaching,
obscured what twilight was left. The
glass was falling, and it was evident
from all signs that a dirty night was
coming on.
The two men had not appeared. Ev-
cry man on board was straining his
gaze to windward. An hour passed.
an hour that seemed like an age, when
suddenly there CAME voice from un-
der the lee, "Stand fast! Heave us a
roper
There was the cutter with the half
drowned sailor, the lieutenant, the
crew, life-buoy and all. They were
soon on deck, and there the lieutenant
told his story.
1.-The sea broke over US, and do what
we would we couldn't reach the life
buoy. Simcoe was too much disabled
to swim, for he had struck his head
in falling, and besides that the ship
had gone clear over him. He never
attempted to touch me, and when he
got TOO weak even TO struggle, he
blessed me. and said, TRY to save
yourself

are sitting in the light.
When little Marie and her brother
Tom came up from Boston last week
Aunt Celeste made q great ado about
them. She was always fond of chill
dren, never admitting that she had q
favorite, but winning them all with
the pretty old stories of her girlhood
and fairy tales SO unbelievable that
the little ones laughed until them cried
over her preposterous giants and ogres
Perhaps it was because she fancied
in little Marie the reincarnation of
her own childhood, perhaps because
of the girls singular gentleness and

L. AlllSOn, OF the UnlteQ
States Navy, who was on his way
home from Manila.
Speaking of the massacre OF the
members of the Ninth Infantry in Sa-
mar, he said the natives had grown
to like the negro troops, and when the
Ninth arrived, it was thought the
same friendly feeling would be shown
to them, and the guard was not as
strictly kept as it otherwise would
have been.
The night before the massacre the
village president went to Captain Con-
nell and before the padre declared that
it would take 100 more bombres ma
tive laborers) to do certain pioneer
work, and he had not sufficient.
Captain Connell said: do the best
you can. Get any native who will
work, but clear away the underbrush." :"
Just after daybreak," continued the
Lieutenant, natives with bolos to cut
underbrush began coming into camp.
Then the massacre began. The last
underbrush man killed the sentry; the
breakfast below the floor that held
their arms. The insurgents divided,
half going upstairs and shooting down
and the other half going into the mess
room and numbering the unarmed SOL
diers.
Not one Of the survivors turned his
back upon the scene until all was lost,
their officers fallen, their comrades
slaughtered and q terrible vengeance
executed upon the enemy. Then they
saved themselves and their wounded
mates.
Captain Connell apparently was
awakened in his quarters by the at
tackers pouring in. He jumped from
the window, but his guards had all
been slaughtered. He was struck down
by many bolOs almost as soon as he
reached the ground. The assassins
hacked his body into bits severing the
head, upon which they piled paper and
wood, setting them on fire to render
the face unrecognizable. The body
however, was identified by Lieutenant
Drouillards detachment, which came
down from Basey.
"The bodies of Lieutenant Bumpus
and the doctor We're found upon a
bridge leading up to the quarters over

bolo cut horizontally across the fore

Adrift Two Days on Cnpsized Boat.


w. j. Harper, a pioneer resident Of
Cockburn Island, now residing at Thes.
salon, had terrible experience last
week. tsi'#Sl
He was crossing from Thessalon to
Little Coburn in his sailboat, when
squall capsized the boat. He sue
ceeded in getting upon the bottom of
the boat and for two days and two
nights drlfted helplessly, the water at
times washing over him, and once he
fell asleep and fell overheard, losing
his hat After more than fifty hours
the boat touched Grants Island and
Mr.. Harper crawled ashore. He lived
on wintergreen berries, strawberry
leaves, birch buds, ETC., for several
days, when party of Indians coming
from Johns Island camped on Grants
Island, and found Mr.. Harper almost
exhausted. They carefully nursed him,
poulticed his feet, which were blue
and numb, and after twenty-four
hours brought him to Thessalon on
the 7th, just one week from the day
Of his departure Meantime the peo-
pie Of Thessalon, fearing some disas-
ter, had sent out two tugs and bands
of men to scour the islands in the vi.
cinity.
Mr.. Harper carried the mail between
Cockburn and Thessalon for some
years, a most perilous undertaking,
and on two former occasions nearly
lost his life. He has come through
this terrible experience very wel, ana
will soon be around as usual.-Toronto

Hitched schoolhouse to a Tree.

A special from Harrison, Neb. says
an extraordinary incident OF the White
River floods developed there when Miss
Lizzie Cottman saved thirteen children
from drowning. incidentally it may
be mentioned that the daring woman
also saved Schoolhouse 10 for the
Sioux County taxpayers.
The building, q small wooden affair.
occupied small glade 100 yards from
the banks of the White River. The
stream had reached the proportions of
torrent because Of the melting snow
and rain. Gradually the water backed
into the ravine and when Miss Cott-
man arrived the school children were
making merry in the building, which
was nearly surrounded by q thin sheet
Of water.
An hour later Miss Cottman was
frightened by hearing the water pass
ing under the house with a roaring
sound, which gradually increased. The
land was twenty feet away, and the
water there was deep. The girl at
first concluded to wait for some pass
ing farmer. None came, and in an
hour she felt the building shaking. The
supports were giving away.
Then she sprang into the water after
making the children promise to wait
inside. The little ones pressed their
faces against the window and
screamed as they saw their teacher
battling with the flood. II
Miss Cottman found the water near
ly over her head but she got through
to dry land. Then she grabbed
horse which one Of the children had
ridden to school. From q stable she
took rope and leading the horse
back plunged again into the torrent.
The rope she fastened around the
horses neck and the other end she
made fast to the doorjamb Of the
building. S-Egi
By this time the building was float
ing and ready to drift off into the
flood. 1t required desperate work to
swim the horse back to the shore and
Miss Cott1nan was forced to holds it's
head above water to keep it from
drowning. The animal dragged the
building close to shore and it was tied
to a tree and the children sent home.
