MOOSE AND BEAR.

Timid Animal Fought Brave1y in De-
fense of Her Young One.
The COW moose is regarded as a timid
animal, but like most timid creatures
she is brave in the defense of her
young. A story is told by Mr.. Jones in
his Habits, Haunts and Anecdotes of
the Moose" illustrating this trait in the
moose mother.
While padding on Chesuncook Lake
one day, our guide saw a COW moose
and her calf come down the bank and
enter the water. He watched them un-
til they had waded some distance from
shore, when his attention wa arrested
by another animal coming out of the
woods near them.
1t was a black bear and had not been
discovered by the moose. Bruin slipped
easily into the water, and waded to-
ward the COW and calf Presently he
got beyond his depth, his legs being
much shorter than even calf moOse's,
and he had therefore to swim. He swan
directly for the calf. and was rapidly
IL W llcu lHC COM saw
The ungainly beast turned with re-
markable quickness toward the bear,
whom she attacked with her forefeet.
Rising on her hind legs, she struck
with her sharp hoofs on the bears
back. He tried to escape. but turn
which ever way he would the COW
struck him. There was a tremendous
splashing of the water, ana the moose
and her calf finally swan off, leaving
the bear hors de combat.
Watching bruin for time, and not
ing that he made no effort to swim
away. the guide ventured to approach
him, and found that his back had been
broken by the powerful blows Of the
cows forefeet. The guide mercifuily
dispatched the bear, and to-d'y shows
the skin when he tells the story.

LOST IN A CRATER.
Explorer Has an Interesting but Peril
ous Experience in ArizoDa

L
ous Experience in Arizona.
Joseph Burkam, a Minnesota lumber
dealer, had, if a Western newspaper is
TO be believed, an experience in an ex-
tinct crater in Arizona which nearly
cost him his life, and has all but de-
stroyed his health. Mr.. Burkam is an
enthusiastic explorer. One day he came
upon the crater of an extinct volcano.
and climbed about it for an hour with
out mishap. Then he discovered a
hole about as large as barrel, and
started to crawl in. Suddenly he
slipped, and slid long distance, strik-
ing his head against ledge of lava.
When he came to he was in total dark
ness and absolute silence.
He had nine matches. These he
struck one after the other, holding each
one until it burnt his fingers. He
groped along the passage, thinking he
must soon see daylight. Suddenly it
came on him that he was not finding
the entrance as soon as he ought to.
Then fear seized him. He sprang
forward like crazy man up the pass
age, struck projection and fell. When
he recovered he moved on again, cut
ting his hands and bruising his head
and shoulders against the lava.
Sometimes he lost consciousness for
hours Then finding strength again,
he struggled ON.
once luminous spot led him on over
Joyed. He struck with awful force
against a phosphorescent wall, which
had deceived him. BY rubbing it. he
was able to mark better progress for
the next few rods.
Without warning he pitched headlong
into pit of thick fluid. 1t was sui
phurous and choked him. He struggled
out and lay down to rest.
When he looked around again he saw
several pairs of cleaning eyes. Shrill
squeaks told him that they belonged to
rats. The rats made dash at him. but
were kept off, fortunately, by the sui
phur, which was too strong for item.
Otherwise he might have died a horri-
BILE death.
He turned a corner in the passage,
followed by the rats. A growl sent
them scampering, and two larger eyes
glistened at him.
Then he saw a streak of daylight, and
pushing toward it, fell senseless into
the open air.
When he recovered his senses and
Strengthened up, a wildcat was, sitting
near him with an army of rats behind
her. She was keeping them off, intend
ing evidently to have the prey to her
SELF
Mr.. Burkam and the wildcat stared
at each other, the latter apparently
wondering whether the man was weak
enough to conquer. Summoning all his
strength, he threw up his hands and
rushed at the cat, which fed. Then
Mr.. Burkam scrambled up the lava
bank to the surface of the earth once
more.

Stunted Trees.

Hitherto the stunted trees and shrubs
of the Japanese have been the wonder
and envy of gardeners the world over.
But German chemist now comes along
and does something which even the
japanese could hardly be expected to
do. He has prepared a fluid that has

lzing the plant. AS result of this
injection the plant does not die, but
stops growing, maintaining It's fresh,
green appearance, though its vitality is
apparently suspended. Changes in tenn
nerature seem in nowise to affect the
foliage, for the plant blooms in the
omen as well as in the most carefully
constructed hothouse. AS might be ex-
nected. the composition of the fluid is
shrouded in the greatest mystery.

Mrs, Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West SSrd St., Minneapolis,
Mimi, as follows:
al suffered for years with a pain In
the small of my back and right side.
1t interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and never supposed
that ! would be cured, as the doctors s
medicine did not seem to help me any.
'Fortunately member of our Or
der advised me 10 try Peruna and gave
II such high praise that decided to try
1t. Although | started in with little
faith, | felt so much better in a week
that felt encouraged.
al took ii faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that ] am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect
health once more is the best thing I
could wish for, and thanks to Peruna
] enjoy that now. Minnie E. Meal
lister.
The great popularity of Peruna as q
catarrh remedy has tempted many peo-
pie to initiate Peruna. A great many
so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
tonics are to be found in many drug
stores. These remedies can be pro-
cured by the druggist much cheaper
than Peruna. Pcrlna can only be OBJ
tanned at a uniform prize, and no drug
gist can get it cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of
Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done every
day without a doubt.

In January, 1899, saying her daughter
had suffered for two years with irreg-

the time, and pain in her side, feet
swelled, and was generally miserable.
She received an answer promptly with

her daughter of all pains and irregu-

NEW SUMNER SHOES.

There is a tendency toward slightly
more pointed shoes, but otherwise little
change in the models for summer. The
fat last will continue TO be the smart
sole for all shoes, whether they are of
patent leather, calf or tan. and should
be OF the extension kind and fairly
thick.
The Colonial shoe is the very newest
for summer wear and comes in both
the high and low models. and also in
slippers. The low Colonial will be the
most popular, as it has the Spanish heel
and makes a very comfortable walking
shoe.
The slipper of this style is very styl.
