THIS CRAFTY MOOSE MADE MANY TRACKS

Fruitless Chase
Fruitless Chase.
Bangor, Me, Cor. BOSTON Journal.

Bangor, Me-, Cor. Boston Journal.
AS most of the good hunting
stories,' said an old hunter, "seem to
have their plot laid in the Miramichi
country, I suppose this poor one, of
how sportsman from Boston and
myself lost the finest moose which I
have ever seen, had better be laid in
that section.
1T was in the middle of the fall
season, 1902, and I was guiding a Bos-
ton man. We were after moose and
up to the day I speak of had poor luck.
We had seen four different moose, all
small, however, and they all had been
on the dead run.
Tt was on the third day that we
were coming up a long valley, near
a stream that, standing on the brow
of hill about a mile away, we saw
the largest moose which have ever
seen. The animal was too far off for
a shot but we could easily see his big
antlers as he stopped to tear piece
of bark from a tree. There was a
slight fall of snow on the ground, but
the little river which flowed near by
was not frozen over.
The walking was good and the day
one Of the best for still hunting. The
wind was directly from the big animal
to us, and this, together with the noise
which the brook made as it flowed
along, going as it did nearly in a line
between us, all tended to make the
shooting Of that moose easy, compare
lively speaking. " f.
"We started walking toward the
place where Mr.. Moose was feeding,
keeping along by the bank of the
stream and well in cover. We worked
up to within a few hundred yards of
the place, where we found that the
stream diverged slightly, going around
the hill on which he stood.
Tin some way that moose, who
proved to be the foxiest animal ever
saw got an idea into his head that
something was after him. After an
hours hard, work we had got quite
near to the place where we first saw
him and were all ready for a, shot.
when we got about the right dis
tance we began to get somewhat ner.
vous and were working toward him az
noiselessly as possible. We walked OF
rather crept right up to the place
where he had been and there we found
his tracks where he had left and gone
down into patch of black growth or
the side of the hill and about twenty
yards from the stream.
Every quietly we worked toward
that piece of growth and by careful

maneuvering found that there were no
tracks leading out from the thicket,
which was perhaps 100 yards in cir
conference. One thing that helped us
was the noise Of little babbling brook
which flowed thru the grove, down
into the stream and the noise of which
could be plainly heard on the other
side. The brook was very shallow and 4
not over two feet wide at the most.

HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 5. Chapter I.

In the last chapter was told what
women had done in real estate, but all
was not told. On Thirty blank street
there are two nice houses. They are
the property of a wife of citizen who
is fairly well-to-do in life, but he didn't
give them to her, or build them for her.
They represent her savings. When he
married, he, like all sensible husbands
should, gave his wife a weekly allow
ance for the house and her personal
expenses, and of course all she could
save was hers for keeps" He isn't
one of those fellows who makes his
wife feel mean by having to beg for
every quarter she receives from him,
and who often goes for days without a
cent OF change because she is too proud
to ask Tor what should be hers with
out the asking. The last mentioned
facts are given parenthetically so to
better understand the subject. Doubt
less all this will be incomprehensible
to those fellows who are reasonably
just and liberal to everybody, except
their wives.
However, to resume the story: The
wife in question bought one lot and
paid part in cash and the balance in
monthly installnents. Then she
thought she would like to own the ad-
joining lot and she bought that the
same way. In due time she had the
lots paid for; it then occurred to her
that it was ridiculous, If not lunatic,
to pay taxes for the sake of owning
two vacant lots. So she plunged in
debt again and built two houses, and
then with her savings from her house
money and personal allowance, and the
rents coming in from tenants, it was
not a great while before the lots and
houses were free from debt. How is
that for wife who is still in the bloom
OF youth?
To work out this problem it is first
necessary to have a husband who is
lover and partner, but If she
did not draw that kind of
a husband in the matrimonial
lottery, then the wife will have
to try to change the "affiiction" and
make him something better than he is
by naturei Try to stop the money
that goes into all sorts of useless
things, including those incident to bad
habits, and get control Of some of
the husbands earnings. OF course
it is not proposed to give a recipe for
changing some bipeds in pants into
good husbands, but it is possible to
improve them and a smart woman
may manage so that in course of time
she will be able to buy lot on Thirty
ninth street, east, with money that is
now going TO waste like the water of a
mill race. II these lots don't please
you. get one on another street II,
good wife, you can't get that lot, do
try to get your husband to give you a
weekly allowance, to cover house and
personal expenses Your life and his
will be happier, and he and you will be
richer in the end II not in money at
least in the better things that make
up our lives.-ad.

Life.

The poets exclamation: 20 Life! /
feel thee bounding in my veins" is a
joyous one. Persons that can rarely or
never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortu-
nate. They do not live, but exist; for
to live implies more than TO be. To live
is TO be well and strong-to arise feel
ing equal 70 the ordinary duties of the
day, and to retire not overcome by
them-to feel life bounding in the
veins. A medicine that has made
thousands of people, men and women,
well and strong. has accomplished a
great work, bestowing the richest
blessings. and that medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. The weak, rundown, or
debilitated, from any cause, should not
fail to take it. 1t builds up the whole
system, changes existence into life and
makes life more Astounding. We are
glad to say these words in its favor

Final Meeting Held Last Night to
Consider Programme.
Final arrangements for Pythian Me-
mortal Day exercises were reviewed
last night at a meeting of the Com
mittee on Arrangements. of which Mr..
w. j. Miscally, Jr., is chairman.
At the meeting, which was attended

cussed No material change was made.
1t was stated by Chairman Miscal-
ly that the monument was already up

morrow afternoon from Pythian Cas-
tie, and the exercises will begin at
Laurel Grove Cemetery, at about 6
O'Clock. The monument will be unveil-
ed by three young ladies during the
address of Judge Cam.

The new railway TO the dump on the

The new dump for the city's garbage

Gated in the large fields where the
garbage will be utilized.
The County Commissioners have
pushed their part of the work of pro-
vlding a place for the garbage away
from any point where 1t would be Of
fensive to the public. The non-sign-
Ing of the contract referred to in the

effect the matter in any way whatever;
the referring of that paper to the coun-
ty attorney being only a necessary
precaution incident to all legal proceed
ings.

TO INCREASE SALARIES
OF CHATHAM JUDGES.
Bill Asking Salary of $4,000 to Come
Before Legislature.

before LEGISLATURE
A bill asking that the salary of the
judge of the Superior Court and the
City Court of Chatham county be in
creased to $4,000 a year will be intro
duced in the next Legislature.
The formal petition to the Legisla-
ture has been drawn up and in addi-
ton petition indorsing the project is
being circulated among the members
of the bar The movement is being
enthusiastically received and the petit
ton signed readily by all to whom it
has been presented.
At present the judge of the Superior
Court receives $4,000 a year. and the
judge of the City Court, $4,000. The
additional money to make up the $5,-
900 salary is to be taken from the
treasury of Chatham county. AS this
means that the increase will mean no
additional burden to the state, there
is every probability that the petition
will be granted The unanimity of the
Chatham bar in favor of the increase
will be bound to have great weight
with the legislators.
All the Superior Court judges in
Georgia receive the same salary. 1t
is probable that the action of Chatham
county will induce other counties to
increase salaries as 1t is generally ad-
mitted that the present salaries are
too small They were fixed in recon-
struction days when the treasury of
the state was practically depleted of
all funds.
1t is designed to make the law be-
come operative on Jan. 1, the begin
ming of the new term of the present
judges.

pawnbroker.

HEAVY FALL OF RAIN
DURING TWO SHOWERS.
Lightning Cut OF Two Circuits OF
GameweIl System.

In two showers yesterday Savannah
experienced the heaviest rainfall that
has occurred in months.
The showers were accompanied by
vivid flashes of lightning and heavy
thunder, and at times the rain appear
ed to be falling in sheets.
The rain began shortly after o'clock,
continuing for more than an hour, when
the skies cleared. At o'clock it began
again, this shower lasting until nearly
o'clock. The total rainfall in the
two showers was /. 80 inches.
The lightning cut off two circuits of
the police Gamewell system and injur-
ed the electric wires for the lighting
of many private homes. The telephone
wires were also out of working order
for time in some sections Of the city.
The damage done was light, however.
In temperature the day exactly equal
ed the normal day. The highest point
reached by mercury was SO degrees, the
record at noon. The lowest point was
81 degrees, recorded at o'clock, just
before the rain began falling. This
made the average temperature for the
day rs degrees.
