A MOOSE STORY.
No Affidavlts Accompany 1t, However.

NO AIIludNItS HCCOfnpdHy IT, however.
From Kineo farm, on the shore Of
MOOsehead lake. comes one of the
strangest tales Of the woods that has
been heard this season-the story of a
bull moose that kissed a mans hand I'm
gratitude for kind and courageous act
T.. j. Ring owns the farm at Kineo and
on his five hundred acres there he has
three hundred head Of cattle. which
roam at will over the place. fenced in on
one side by the lake and on the other by
a long stretch of barbed wire
on a cold morning last November Mr.
Ring went out to salt his cattle, and OBJ
served that the animals were greatly ex-
cited and frightened at something 50
that while ordinarily tame and approach
able, they were so wild that he could not
get near them. He had not far to look
for the cause of the trouble for in his
walk around the lot he found "a big bull
moose entangled in the barbed fence.
The moose was making frantic struggles
to get free. but at every jump he only
made matters worse, the sharp barbs
piercing his hide. causing aim to below
with rage and pain
At first Mr.. Ring was frightened for
he knew that should the moose free him
self it would mean certain death for any
human being in sight. for wounded
moose finds his best satisfaction for in

be useless for anyone, certainly for an
aged man like Ring. to try to escape the
enraged monster in that field. However.
Ring is a man of great courage and cool
ness. and one who knows the nature Of
the moose. we'll as that of his mich
cows. Instead Of running away he
stepped gently forward and began to dis
entangle the forest monarch from the
barbed wire net.
Instantly the moose ceased his strug-
giles. gazed wonderingly upon the old
farmer and, hanging his head low to the
ground uttered a piteous moan. The
monster appeared to realize at once
that a friend had come to his aid. and re-
manned perfectly still while the wires
were being loosed. Finally the tange
was cleared sufficiently so that with a
slight eXertion the moose bounded free.
Farmer Ring Immediately stepped back
to the shelter of a tree, fearing that the
moose would charge upon him if he stood
in the way, when. to his astonishment
the animal slowly walked up to him. and
with long, rough tongue, licked his nand
just as a dog would do. Then, with a
mighty bound. the bull cleared the
wreck of the fence and disappeared in
the woods
That afternoon a snowstorm came on
and the cattle were tied up in the great
| barn. When Mr.. Ring went to close the
doors he was surprised to find waiting
in the shadow Of the barn the wounded
moose, its antlers towering well up to
the caves The animal seemed weak and
tired, and thinking it needed shelter Mr.
Ring opened a shed door, and there next
morning he was found dead He had
| been MORALLY wounded by the fence

back to seek protection from the man
who had been kind to him that day
