the time when l attempted to shoot the old
moose. with disastrous results to myself.
Doing the best I could, I made FIRE
out OF pine needles. feeding It with the
dry branches near by until morning, and
then weakly crawled back to my camp,
ten miles away. where I was nursed back
to strength and health by a companion.
But surgery was primitive in those days,
and to this day I have a crooked arm as
result OF my hunt after that moose.
III Luck of Hunters.
"Other hunters who lived in the valley of
the Grasshopper heard OF my experience
with the king moose, we called him
them and all tried to hunt him down and
kill him. But I'll luck befell all these hunt
ers. One man found him and being I'm a
thicket Of brush in such close quarters that
he could not retreat. after one shot the old
bull turned upon him and stamped him to
death with his sharp hoofs, his body not
being found until weeks sfterward An
other man fell on a ledge OF rock and
broke a leg. lying out in the timber until
he nearly died Of hunger and thirst before
he was found Still another man was lost
IN the timber at the head Of the river,
and there he wandered until his mind gave
way and when he was found he was almost
dead. and from that day until the day he
died he babbled lncessantly about a devil
moose which continually haunted his foot
steps through the forest.
AFTER the lapse OF two or three years
Rannack became practically deserted and
there was no more need TO hunt, as In the
early days, and the story OF the king
moose became an almost forgotten one.
Later. however, fully twenty years from
the time these tragedies befeIl the hunters.
the old moose again stepped into the lime
light. He was known by a peculiar spot
OF white on one OF his shoulders. which
had ever been In evidence from the time
first saw him.
Hunter after hunter who went into the
mountains reported seeing his track and
occasionally someone would get a shot at
him as he numbered through the marshes.
But these shots were generally heeting
ones and no one could tell for a certainty
whether or not the. had taken effect. once

Southern Gold Fields.

Southwark no! for gold. Anum-
Der of companies have recently
been formed in Buenos Ayres al,

ital with the object of dredging
for gold in various rivers of the
Argentine republic, Bolivia, Bra.

though dredging operations in the

the results of trial behring's made

TURKEYS POOR FORESTRY

ture of all this eastern district is
the entire absence of wood, not
from any natuhal condition, as
trees would evidently grow in
most parts, according to species

square acres of clearing near

LAUDs COMBINATION STEW
Its Praises Sung by an Oyster Lover
How This Dish Is Built
Its Many Virtues.

"Have you ever eaten" said thu

getting one.
You want to take deep water
oysters, preferable for their dis

that of oysters fattened in shall

want those oysters freshly
opened. When you have got them
in the stewpan, YOU drop in with
them two CLAIMS, and

"NOW, when YOU have cot those
freshly opened oysters into the
stewpan you put in with them

The Difference.

Most people are afraid to be diff.
ferent. Some people are different
for the express purpose of show

then there are a few who are big

ones that win out, but nine times
out Of ten they do things in the

HIS "HOME, SWEET HOME"
House Where John Howard Payne
Wooed and Won His Wife
Stands in Athens, Ga.

In a modest street in Athens
Ga, stands the "Home, Swee
Home" Of John Howard Payne
sOng-the house where he me
and wOoed his sweetheart an,
promised wife, Mary Harden
writes \. Josephine Brangwin, il
the Pilgrim.
At that time Payne was max
ing a theatrical trip through the
south, and stopped at Athens
Here he met Mary, and it was d
case of love at first sight witt
both. He returned to New York
but loves spell was strong, and he
soon came back. With each re.
turn his stay was prolonged, and
finally he engaged board with
Mary's mother, and here, for a
number Of years, he made his
home.
The house is a well-preserved
wooden structure, painted white,
and stands with its side facing
the street. 1t is built in no par
ticular style. Its plain lines and
long slanting roof in the rear re-
semble the Long Island farm
house; the green blinds, wide, com.
Portable porch across the front
C'the gallery" it is called by the
people of the south, the pleasant
airy ball, give it a typical south
ern appearance.
There is a small grassy lawn
shaded by sweet gum and magno.
liza trees, and in the rear of the
house is a profusion of honey
suckles.
Inside the house, at the left of
the nail, is a pleasant, welllighted
parlor, and here Payne wrote. On
one side is a brick fireplace that
gives the room an old-time atmos.
phere which even the substitution
of modern glass in the low, broad
windows, cannot wholly destroy.
Here by the wall stands Payne's
favOrite chair with one of its
quaint arms and a part of the
rush bottom gone the way of all
things. Above the chair hangs
the picture of Mary's mother, a
sweet-faced woman clad in black
silk and dainty lace, and across
from the mother the pictures of
and Mary, hanging side by
side. The picture of Payne is a
fine oil painting done in New
York and presented to Mary on
the eve of his departure for Eng
land. The one of Mary is done in
India ink.
Mary Harden was Payne's first
and only love. AT home and
abroad he was feted and fattered:
praised for his beauty and ability
and constantly thrown in the So
of beautiful and accom-
women, but never was his
heart disloyal to this southern
That they did not marry was
because of his poverty. He was
an indefatigable worker, but 9th
ers, not himself, profted by his la
oors. His death was caused by
mental strain and financial EN-
Darrassment.

White in Name and Act.

Eagle, drove to Surrey Monday
evening with what they supposed
to be one of Scoield's fly livery
rigs. When they returned at II
o'clock at night they were con-
fronted by the owner of the team,
who had half the city out look
ing for the stolen horses. The
doctor apologized for the mis-
take and fixed up the matter in
u financial way. The doctor, it
seems, had telephoned to the
barn for a team to be left ut the
Leland. and seeing a team tied
at the appointed place after
lunch, supposed that lie was
justified in taking it. White
proved that his name was cor
rect in the end.
