Il. Died in Several wavs.

Records of the ancient city Geor-
geans founded in 1910. better known
at the present time as York Harbor,
Me-. contain many quaint and unusual
stories of the early life of the town.
AT the entrance to York Harbor a
bold promontory, known as Stage
Neck. extends some distance into the
sea, from which formerly in stormy
weather a temporary light, in the
form of lantern hoisted upon an up
right pole. was displayed as warn
ing to mariners.
One dark winter night sloop was
wrecked on these rocks. A survivor,
on being questioned about the catas-
trophe, said:
The vessel struck, turned over on
her side, and the skipper rolled over
board"
The local Coroner was summoned
and this somewhat startling verdict
was returned:
I'VE find that the deceased fell
from the masthead and was killed:
he rolled overheard and was
drowned: he floated ashore and froze
to death. and the rats ate him up
alive! Advertiser.

Coon Versu. Mountain Lion.

James A. McCallum has mountain
lion that ne is now willing to part
with to any one as gracious gift.
When he received the fine looking
cougar few days ago from friend
in the Rocky Mountains he thought
that he had an animal that could
whip anything that wore hair, but
when the king of mountain beast
was fought to a standstill yesterday
by an ordinary old ring-tailSd coon,
McCallum lost heart. The lion was
seen few days ago in his cage by
Jack Cook. The lion tipped the beam
at LIS pounds. but Cook said his coon
could lick him.
The other morning Cooks coon
was thrown into the cage with the
lion. The fight began at once. The
lion made vicious strokes with his
paw at the coon, but the willy little
animal proved to be an adept at dodg-
ing all the blows. No quicker would
the blow of the lion proved fL,ile
than the coon would grab him by the
throat, and begin to claw with all his
might. He would soon loosen his
hold and jump away. This was re.
peated for about twenty-five minutes,
when the lion. bleeding profusely,
skulked to corner, and refused to
battle further
The coon was taken out of the cage
with hardly scratch on him, and
apparently proud of his work with
his heavy antagonist. The little ring
tailed animal weighs about twenty
pounds, but Jack Cook says he is
worth his weight in gold ltu,sy'lle

MOTHER GOOSE BAzAR.

guard at the entrances of the various
booths, and these were filled with the

SKAL-LALATOOTS WIND STORY
The old chief puzzled for long
time over Samoset's wind story. Per-
maps he wished Glooskap would tie
the wings of the Wind Bird once
more. for he very often destroyed the
cornfields in the broad plains where
the old chief lived.
Then ne said 'Skal-lal.a-toots, can
you tell wind story, too?"
And Skal-lal-a-toots said, Il can
tell you why the wind howls and
shrieks so wildly, good chief
"Is it because he is angryo" Samo-
set asked.
NO. it is because he is crazy"
said Skal-al.aItoots. Listen, and
will tell you about it."
Once upon time the Wind went
to the lodge of great bear and stole
away the bears daughter.
Il will take you he said. to my
beautiful home in the northern sky
The daughter was glad to go, but
the father was angry. So when he
found that his daughter was stolen,
he few out across the sea to overtake
the Wind.
And when ne had overtaken him,
he struck the Wind such blow upon
the head that the Wind gave a great
howl of pain and fell into the sea.
For long time the Wind drifted
cn the waves, and the bear supposed
that ne had killed him. But by and
by the Wind awoke again. The blow
had only stunned him, and he seemed
dead for time.
But, alas. the Wind was never him
self again; and from that time he has
been crazy-crazy as Wind could
be.
Since that time he has gone howl
ing and shrieking up and down the
earth. crying. Where is my beautitul
Wife-bear! Where! Where! Where."
But meantime the stars had taken
pity on the unhappy Wife-bear, and
had carried her up into the skies to
dwell with them. And there In the
night you can see her still. Her face
is very pale. and sometimes she turns
1t away from the earth and you can
not see 1t at all.
But the poor. sad, crazy Wind has
never found the Wife-bear yet. He
still goes on dancing and singing and
moaning and bowling. always looking
for the Wife-bear that he lost.
And the Wife-bear grieves for him:
that is why she sometimes turns her
face away from the earth. The stars
too. are sorry, but they cannot help
him. So they watch over him. and
they will watch over him as long as
the poor, crazy Wind goes wandering
up and down the earth.-New York
