Mr. Hill has asserted that the need Of the

get the latter. But after all. there is

TRAPPER FIGHTS
PACK OF WOLVES
AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE
IN THE MICHIGAN WOODS.
PURSUED BY THE BEASTS
Lone Hunter Finally Makes a Stand
and with His Faithful Carbine
Stays Three, Soaring the
Remainder.

Bronson, Mich.-During last winter
the snow fell TO a great depth in nearly
all of the northern counties, and in those
counties infested by wolves the havoc
to deer was great
Many deer carcasses partly devoured,
and some with only the polished and
clearly picked bones remaining, were
found by settlers and trappers.
The wolves became terribly pressed
by hunger during the winter. the in
tense cold seeming to whet their ap-
petites TO a frenzy, and woe to any
thing favourable which crossed their
trail.
IL was in midwinter, when the snow
was deepest and the cold most intense,
that a well-known trapper in one OF
the western counties of the upper
peninsula had a very exciting adven-
ture and one perhaps which he would
not care to have repeated.
All day he had tramped over the
snow on his snow shoes, and a big
snowstorm Of several days previous had
covered up his traps. and in some in
stances covered 10 a depth Of several
delayed him. and night was fast ap-
preaching and he had yet many weary
miles on the trail before he would reach
the CHEEKY warmth and light of his
cabin, where his brother Franc was
waiting for him.
Around him lay a world OF white
Mesa world Of snow; only the dark
gray clouds above and the souber darl--
ness Of the forest background bereft
the scene. He pushed forward his tired
and stiffened limbs already beginning
TO sting and pain from the fatigue Of
the long days journey. At length he
comes out of the shadow of piece OF
broken woods and descends a gentle
slope-a lake lies before him.
Now he is upon the smooth surface OF
the lake, and as the walking is much bet
ter, he mentally decides he can make
much better time across the ice than on
the land. Suddenly his trained ear de-
tects the sound Of a football. the faint
swapping OF a twig behind him on the
shore a few yards distant. and as he
involuntarily turns HIS head to look in
the direction OF the sound, fitting fig
ures bound into sight from the shad
ows OF the woods.
He needs no second glance TO tell him
his pursuers are wolves, nor does he
hesitate TO act. Across his shoulder is
suspended by strap 1920 car
bine, which is his daily compan-
ion as he goes TO his traps

HUNTING A GAS LEAK.
How to Look For One and Proven
Serfnus num

How TO Look For One and Prevent
serious Damage.
The folly OF hunting for a leak i'm q
gas pipe with a lighted match is not so
much because Of the danger of an ex-
plosion as Of other damage. as is shown
by the experience OF a West PhiladeI-
phia householder, says the Philadelphia
Record.
One or two small leaks were de-
tected by going over all the pipes
and holding a lighted match to them.
The smell o. gas ceased. but was re-
placed few hours later by the smell
Of burning wood. Another visit to the
cellar showed a charred floor ioist lit
tie distance above a gas pipe. There
was no apparent cause FOR this until
very close examination disclosed that
a tiny jet OF gas was issuing from the
pipe beneath the beam. 1t was lighted
but was So small as TO be blue i'm color
and nearly Invisible. II had been light
ed 10y the match used In the first in
vestigation. but had not been noticed.
IF that leak had happened TO be in a
lead joint instead OF an iron connec-
tion.' said a gas man. "there would
probably have been work for the fire
department. The Smallest possible jet
OF lighted gas issuing through lead Will
In time heat and melt the lead and
make the leak larger until big flame
Is issuing. This may make a fire hours
later. in the dead OF night or az "A time
when no one is I'm the house. The only
proper way TO look for these very small
leaks is 10 paint the suspected pipe
