was quickly distanced. The other dogs
regained their courage and led the way
to the lair of the wolf. The wolf was
gone. There was abundant evidence
that the wolf had lived on dog meat,
for there were canine bones here and
there near a hole above tide water, ana
inside there was the half-eaten carcass
of a French poodle that had been the
pride of one of the village tradesmen.
"The next night the hunt was re-
sumed with more men and more dogs.
Not long after the hunters had gone on
their way something cold touched my
hand and l heard low whine. There
was my old enemy Donald, his front
paw shattered. His eyes pleaded for
mercy, forgiveness and shelter. Not
far away came the hunters, the dogs
trailing out behind them. L grabbed
up the wounded dog and slammed the
door behind me. When my friends
came to the door they asked admit
tance, but l told them | had captured
the wolf and that they could not come
in.
"Then 1 told them that the wolf was
dog and friend of mine, and that
they could not kill him. My friends
went away grumbling, their dogs
barking with great courage. 1 fixed
up Donald's paw as well as l could and
then went to the village to make things
clear to my friends. They told of how
the supposed wolf had kept all but the
bull terrier at bay. The terrier had
closed in, trying for leg hold, but as
he was swapping for the grip the sup
posed wolf by swift movement had
caught him just back of the skull with
his long fangs, killing him instantly.
From a wild beast and canine can
nibal Donald, after careful nursing,
came to his senses. To make long
story short, yesterday he and L were
walking along together, when he gave
yelp of joy. There was his little mis-
tress and her mother walking toward
us. We three had pleasant stroll to-
gether before the next train was to
start for the city. They asked me about
Donald and said he looked thin. They
were distressed about the bandage
around his foot.
Donald hung his head and dropped
his bushy tail. 1 could not tell them
of his wild life, and said that he had
mussed among some live Holsters. One
of them had taught him what it means
to have a good pinch. Donald cheered
up. He went back to the city, and
they will never know that for time,
at least, that he was cannibal."-N.

NORWAY'S WINTER FUN.
skeesi Are Much Used In Sport and

1t is during the Norwegian winter
that the most characteristic sports in
that country hold sway. When the
fiords are frozen after the snow has
fallen, the water is covered with the
bright shining ice, and, Like the gulls
during the summer, the Norwegian
boys now glide about on their skates
where, in July and August they had
crossed in sailing boats. But when
the sAow covers mountain, valley and
ford mopy feet deep, snow-shoeing, or
ski-lobr.hg, as it is called in Norway,
becomes universal, not merely as a
sport, but also as a necessary way of
travelling, says G. L. Borchgrevink on

The skees are made of wood, gen

able wood for the purpose, but they
can also be made out of pine, of birch,
or of almost any wood in which the

too knotted. But woods like ash,
which is both hard and flexible, are ad-
mirably adapted for skee-making.

NANNY LoUIZA'S BABY.
How n Wee, New ''Bndy Baby" in the
south Game to he Christened
"Louise."

Nanny Louiza was a great woman;
and although her cheek was as dark
and withered as prune, and she was
old and fat, and often walked with
limp when she declared that the
weather as seen out of the nursery
window "looked like it was fiXin' to
to rain," and though she wore old
fashioned French calico frocks and a
plaid turban tied over her gray hair,
there were four golden-haired little
children who respectively pronounced
her "be-yu-tiful," "boochiful," boo
full" and "pwitty." This last, the wee
Louise, who called her "pwitty," was
mammy's pet; and although but three
years old, she was clever enough to
measure new word inside her little
mouth before daring to attempt it. On
the particular occasion when she had

He says:

ing to kill it with knock on the
head with the AK, and i was little
bit hasty, as l feared it would fly
away before l could get it. In my
hurry to reach the bird l did not
take the care 1 should, and as l
struck at it with the ak my foot
slipped on the mud, and l fell.
'By the time l kad recovered my
footing the bird got into the game in
earnest. 1 made another lunge al
it with the ak, and it made one at me
with it's beak, getting Inc in the leg;
l missed my stroke.
"The bird had a good nip on me
and it was close fighting, with the
birds huge wings going all the time
like thrashing machines.

and do it quickly if did not want
to be ripped into strips by the bird.

left hand and put strangle on it to
make the creature let go of my leg,
and in that / was successful only in
measure. The bird loosened its
hold with it's beak and took hold OF
my hand with it's claw. It's talons
went clear through my left hand
and by that time / was as mad as the
bird. took a good purchase on my
ak and aimed the next and last blow
with some care, and got the bird on
the head.
"He was out for keeps, but that
claw of his was gripped on my hand
as if it would never come loose.

bank, and then the boys forced ope1

did not rob us to any great extent we
had tolerated them. To our relief, one
by one they disappeared.
"And then it happened that the we'll
fed dogs of the village, allowed to
stray about at night, began to be miss

wolf, as he believed, pounce upon his
dog. He ran at the enemy with stout
club, but it left it's victim dead in the
road, the vertebrae close to the skull
having been crushed by the powerful
teeth of the wild animal. There was
consultation down in my shanty, and it
was agreed that we should hunt for
the strange creature prowling about,
lest it might possibly harm the village
children. l could not go, as there was
fish to be cleaned.

HOW TO TELL The TIME.

i've jus learned how to tell the time,
My mother teached me to,
An eff you think you'd like to learn,
/ guess 1 might teach you;
At first, though, IT as hard as fun,
An makes you twist and turn,
An mother says that they is folks,
Big folks, what never learn.
You stand before the clock, jus so,
An start right at the top;
That's twelve o'clock, an when you reach
The little hand, you stop;
Now, that's the hour, but you've got
To watch what you're about,
Because the hardest part Is to come,
To find the minutes out.
You go right back again to where
You started from, an see
How far the minute-hand's away,
Like this-youre watchin' me?-
An when you've found the minute-hand
You multiply by five
An then you've got the time o day,
AS sure as you're alive.
They's folks, 1 know, what says that they
Don't have to count that way,
That they can tell by jus a glance
AT any time o. day;
But L don't b'lieve no fibs like that,
Because eff that was true,
My ma would know it, but she showed
Me like I'm shown you.

Story rold of MIR. Depev.

1t is told of Chauncey Depew that
he proved of considerable interest to
the small boy of family on whom
he once made a call. After dinner,
he and the head OF the house were
closeted together for two hours or
longer. When the senator had de-
parted, the boy inquired the identity
of the important looking visitor.
"That, my son, is Chauncey Depew,
the greatest story-teller in America" ;"
explained the father. The business
that had kept Mr.. Depew and the
father closeted together for so long
brought the former back in few
days. The boy was playing near the
house as Depew approached, and,
running up to the visitor exclaimed:
"I'll go tell pop you're coming.
know who you are-Mr. Depew, the
greatest liar in America!"

watched the lisps of her sisters and
brother while they wrestled with the
fascinating beautiful" word. with re-
suits so various, she suddenly switched
off, her merry eyes twinkling as she did
it, and said:
II fink my mammy's pwitty."
There was a little mischief in the
my" too, and for good reasons.
1t would never have occurred to you,
perhaps, seeing the golden curls lying
against mammy's dark neck, that the
wee maid Louise was her namesake,
but such she was in truth.
1t was on Christmas morning when
the third little daughter arrived at the
great house, during a snowstorm; and
when, rot long after, old nanny
trudged in, carrying one and leading
two toddlers to the bedside to welcome
the brand-new sister, the white NAM
ma raised her happy face from the pill
low and said:
This is to be your special little
'lady-baby,' nanny dear, and we are
going to let you name her under one
condition, and that is that you may
not call her for her own mamma"
The children's mothers name was
Katharine, name which was quite out
of fashion in those days, though it has
since come back with all sorts of varia-
tions and spellings.
Well, when the mother had begun to
speak, and nanny understood that
she was saying something special
about her claim to this fresh babyling
her tender old heart was so touched
that for minute she could not be sure
of her voice.
But after little while, when Joy and
surprise had settled into sweet pride
and content, what do you suppose
nanny said?
"Is you for sho' in earnest, missy?'
She always called the children's moth.

BATTLE WITH EAGLE.
Illinois Man Has n Night Adventure
in the Woods Which He Will
Not Soon Forget.

A hand to claw battle with an
eagle was fought by Harry T. Allen,
of Galesburg. Mr.. Allen now has the
bird in Chicago, where it is being
stuffed and mounted by taxi
dermist, and will soon go to orna-
ment his home.
Mr.. Allen. who is a cigar manufac-
turer, went on coon hunt with a
party of Galesburg friends in the
Elleston woods, near Roseville, Ill.
The party had fair bunch of dogs,
mostly coon dogs, and was expecting
to get results in short order. The
dogs were ranging the woods for
coon and were exceedingly busy for
about two hours. Along about mid
night the party heard the dogs bay
ing and barking at a furious rate in
the woods off toward the creek, q
quarter of mile away.
AS the party approached the spot
where the dogs were assembled they
came to the conclusion that the dogs
had simply gone crazy, as they were
not near a tree, but were, instead,
running up and down the bank of the
creek and barking at some big, dark
object on stump ten or fifteen feet
from the edge.
1t was a dark night and at first the
coon hunters could not distinguish
what the object was. Mr.. Allen said
it was bird of some sort, probably
an owl, but in any event he intended
to get a closer view.
Taking his AK, he waded in toward
the bird, while his companions held
their torches high on the bank to

about four inches broad, and taper up
in front in graceful curve. A very
slight groove about half an inch wide
runs all along the middle of the skee
from front to back, giving tendency
to keep it steady in one direction and
to prevent it, to some extent. from
sliding to one side. About an inch bacl,
of the middle of the skee, a loon is
made out of twisted willow or, in re-
cent years, frequently out of leather
covered bamboo, forming firm but
flexible support for the foot about
two inches back of the toe. Another
loop of leather-covered bamboo rims
from the base of the loop for the toes
and all arund the heel, while one strap
combines the two sides of this loon
under the foot. The skee-runner then
finishes the fastening by buckling a
strap over his instep.
This peculiar arrangement of loops
and straps allows the runner to move
his heel in vertical direction so far
that he could, although with effort.
put his knee down to the skee in front
of him, while his toes still remain in
loop; but in the horizontal direction
the foot is arrested; the skee must fol-
low every small movement of the foot
to the right or left.
