mopped kitchen floor. Miss Spencer
thought the invader was a fawn, but
on looking through the window she
saw a cow moose outside. Her head
was lowered, and she was lowing gen.
thy to her calf, which had started ON
IN exploring expedition through the
house.
The lone woman didn't care to en-
gage in an alteration with a moose
big or small, so she kept discreetly
out of sight, but took up a position
where she could watch the calf. The
little fellow stood in the middle Of the
floor when she first caught sight Of
him and shifted at the strange objects
about him. Then he clattered into the
pantry, gobbled up a couple Of slices
Of bread, Tapped some milk from the
cats dish behind the stove and trotted
out, upsetting a chair as he made his
exit
All the time the mother moose kept
close to the door, trying to reclaim her
frisky offspring. When she finally got
the calf in tow once more she made
tracks for the woods, scOlding 1t moose
fashion as she numbered along.

BABY MOOSE

Miss Emily Spencer, who lives off
the stage road between HOlunkus and
Patten, Me-, entertained an unusual
visitor the other day. The guest was
a tiny moose that had strayed into the
open with its mother, probably be-
cause forest fires were burning in the
heavy timber to the west.
Miss Spencer, who lives alone, had
finished her mornings work and was
reading in the dining room when she
heard a little wheeling snort outside
the house and a moment later the clat-

WIFE SWIMS FROM
BURNING LAUNCH
Brings Boats to Rescue of Husband
Just as He Is About to
Give Up.

Several hundred persons at Sleeps
head Bay, N. y. watched Fred Refs
meier and his wife of Plum Beach
struggle for their lives In a burning
launch 200 feet from the shore line.
Finally Mrs. Reismeier plunged into
the water and swan to the shore for
assistance for her husband, who could
not swim.
Reismeier used the launch to trans
port persons from Plum Beach to
Sheepshead Bay. He came over to the
Bay to spend the night, intending to
anchor the launch in the bay and take
his wife ashore In a small boat.
Striking a match, the fame ign1ted
gasoline which had escaped through
q leak In the tank, and an explosion
followed In an instant the launch
was blazing. Mrs. Reismeier had her
arms severely burned and her hair de-
stroyed close to her scalp. Her hus-
band escaped burns.
Both cried for assistance, but per-
sons who stood ON the shere and
watched the spectacle did not move
The water was brilliantly lighted by
the flames, and, silhouetted against the
sky, the man and woman could be
seen slowly forced to the stern Of the
boat by the fire.
Then Mrs. Reismeier went over
board, headed for the beach and i'm
plored assistance for the man, who
could not swim. He was about to
give up in despair when several boats
reached him. The fire was within a
few inches of his hands when help ar
rived. The launch was destroyed.

ELLSWORTH, Wis, Aug. 90
Farmers near Herbert are greatly ex-
cited by the actions of wild man"
who has been wandering about in the
woods begging everyone he meets to
take an ak which he carries and chop
off his head. He makes his headquar-

Declares Boards Has Done Him an
Injustice
GIVES FIGURES TO BACK Objections
PROPERTY is NOT
RAISED AND PURCHASE PRICE
SHOWS DIFFERENT BASIS.

Chairman Morrow does not take very
kindly to the action of his colleagues
Waitsburg property. He filed with the
board this morning, protest against
ness of his son, Platt Morrow, who is
suffering from typhoid fever at a
Portland hospital, Chairman Morrow is
still unable to attend the meetings of
the board.
The chairman objects to a $500
raise on his store property and an in
crease of 1915 on his residence as
sessment and submitted figures show
ing that he paid but $3.50 for the
property last year. 1t was assessed this
year at $4,000 and Commissioners Nc
Cav and Struthers proposed to raise
the store building assessment $500
and the residence property 1875.
Not Equally Assessed.
Chairman Morrow also asked to have
the assessment on his farm lands re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000 on a show
ing that they were assessed higher in
proportion than adjoining lands. The
chairman's protest will be taken up
with others at a hearing to be held to-
morrow.
The board this morning reduced the
assessment on several pieces of realty
in West Main street to conform with
reductions allowed by the city board
of equalization on a showing that the
property was assessed too high orig
inally.
NJ Kinney and Marshall Martin Sc
cured a reduction of $3.50 each on
their respective property at the corner
of Sixth and Main. The assessment of
Mrs. Sarah Lambert on her home prop
erty in West Rose street was reduced
from S3165 to $234O similar reduc-
ton was made by the city board of
equalization.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.

old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says Col.

took him to Kansas City for a visit
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
"When I reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him GrapeNuts and, although |
had never used the food, we got some
and for few days gave him just the
juice of Grape Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
we'll.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is a strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph I send you what strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
