Prizes for Cooks and Bakers.

Commissary General Sharpe has recon-
mended to the Secretary of War that
money prizes be awarded to army cooks
and bakers at the conclusion OF each term
of instruction at the army schools for
cooks and bakers. One of these schools Is
at the Washington barracks and another at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Gen. Sharpe be-
lieves that such action will stimulate COM
mendable rivalry and zeal In study among
the men taking the course. 1t Is probable
that three prizes will be given to those
who make the best record in a practical
and theoretical examination. This is an in
novation, as prizes have never before been
given for military cooking in the army

Hunters Thrilling Experience.

Loyal. Wis. - Harry Ridde and
James Cook. both prominent citizens
OF jackson county. wis, described a
narrow escape they had from being de-
voured by wolves one evening recent
ly. They had been hunting the beasts
all day with a party of hunters from
neighboring towns and farms. Be-
coming separated from the main party
they lost their-way.
At night they gathered some dry
branches and built fire. They had
no sooner kindled the fire than the
bowling of wolves was heard In the
distance, and with their backs to a
large rock the men prepared for
battle.
In ten minutes the forest seemed
alive with dusty forms, and soon the
battle was raging. The rest Of the
nary had gone In search of the miss
ing men and came upon them after
they had exhausted their ammunition
and we're fighting with firebrands as
a last resort. The wolves dispersed at
the approach Of the larger party, 10
of he brutes having been killed.
