"A WAKENED By
HUNGRY WOLVES
VoufbE Were Disturbed In Their
SIcsnaber BY BffeE Of Roc
en0uE ~4nin ais.

Wolves have increased to an alarm
ing extent in the hunting districts of
Canada. Hitherto it has been consid-
cred safe in the early autumn to lie
down and sleep wherever the night
might overtake one, but two young
fellows who wanted to shirk a long
walk to camp and went to sleep be-
side q deer path have learned a differ
ent lesson.
1t was dark and windy, but warm,
night, and they did not start a fire.
They were awakened early in the night
by the onset of three wolves. which
seized one by the leg and the other by
the shoulder with sufficient force to
bring the blood.
Their shouts and struggles seemed
to shock the brutes, whose grip relaxed
so that they were able to shake them
selves free. The cooler of the two was
able to seize his rifle, and this he fired
from his hip in the direction of the as
sailants. From the fact that what look
ed like spots of blood were discovered
on fiat rock near by next morning
the young men judged that the shot
reached one of the wolves. But at the
time they were amazed at the stiffness
which succeeded the report. Not a rus
tie or the snap of a twig could they
hear, yet when a white birch was
touched with a match and shaft of
fire shot UP the trunk there was not a
sign of a wolf.
The young men were thankful to
have escaped being torn to pieces by
the ravenous animals.
Tt is feared that the same good for
tune has not attended a young man
supposed to have come from the west
ern states who went to the woods with
Eli Baudette. He was a tall fellow Of
twenty or twenty-one, was we'll sup
piled with money and gave the guide
only his Christian name, Frank.
1t was his first visit to the Cana
dian woods. Baudette refused to do
any lacking or night hunting of any
description for the first week of the
trip, and one morning when he sat up
he found himself alone in the little
lean-tO. His chasge had taken his rife
and cartridges and set out alone, prob
ably hours before. He has not been
seen since.
The young man had a compass and
knew how to use it. Old Baudette had

told him what to do in case he should
lose himself. Game is plentiful, and
the cartridge vest he carried was we'll
filed. There are no dangerous streams
to cross nor bad bog holes, and it is
difficult to account for his disappear
ance except on the supposition that
wild animals got him.
That wolves are numerous in that
part of the country some men who join
ed the search for the missing man real
lied when they were crOuching under
cover beside a lake, waiting for a
swimming deer to land. AS she came
near it was noticed that Il strong
young one was swimming alongside, its
little head sometimes resting on its
mothers neck. Gaining rapidly upon
them as they plunged forward were
five wolves, two of them only half
grown.

The annual battle between the
freshmen and sophomores is on at
Whitman today. The fun began at
midnight last night when a band of
the underclassmen stole out with
bucket and brush to paint the town
red.
Grandstand, sidewalks, cement steps
and fences in the neighborhtEd OF the
college were decorated with los in
bright cardinal and similar figures
daubed along the pavement at inter-
walls on Main and Alder streets.
1t was about g.: 80 o'clock when the
sophies awoke to the fact that some
thing was doing and a small bunch
of them congregated in a lonely cor
ner of the campus to hold a council
of war; The paint question was ac-
lively discussed and it was decided to
apply the homeopathic cure. Stack,
the painter, was aroused from slumber
about a. m. and beseeched to obtain
for them paint of a gamboge hue. 1t

mores began to search for the artistic

The freshies, who had gone to bed
with the consciousness Of duty we'll

news that the upper classmen were
''down town" and had started up an

The class alarm was quickly sound

tearing down towards the Ransom

The following story concerning John
Forster, the biographer Of Dickens,
was told by the late Sir Wemyss Reid:
In the days Of his youth Sir WemysH
showed q great desire to embark upon
a journalistic career. whereupon an
old friend Of the family in Newcastle
told him that going to London and
writing for the papers would bring
him no good, adding:
81 mind there was decent friend Of
mine, aud Mr.. Forster, the butcher in
the side. He had a laddie just like
you, and nothing would serve him but
be must go away to London to get ed
dicated, as ne called it. and when he
had got dedicated he couldn't come
back to his fathers shop, though IL
was a first class business. He would
do nothing but write and write and
write, and at last he went back again
to London and left his poor auld IA
Their alone, and Ave never heard tell
Of that laddie since"
ct was thus" concluded Sir Wemyss,
that the fame Of John Forster, the
author Of The Life of Goldsmith and
the destined biographer Of Charles
Dickens, was cherished in his native
town by his fathers ancient friendsy"

Rri.tIer were Not 1ncluded.

One of the ablest lawyers and advo-
Gates New England ever produced was
Roger Minott Sherman, who was also
famous for the quickness Of his wit.
A story which fully illustrates Sher-
mans powers of repartee is quoted by
the late Senator HOar in his book en-
titled IAN Autobiography Of Seventy
Years"
On one occasion Sherman was argu-
ing a case against Nathan Smith, a
very able but rather coarse lawyer.
Mr.. Smith had discussed the question
Of law with the subtlety for which he
was distinguished Mr.. Sherman said
10 the court that he thought Brother
Smiths metaphysics were out Of place
In that discussion: that he was not
averse to such refinement at a proper
time and would be willing on q at
occasion to chop logic and split hairs
with him.
Smith Immediately pulled a hair out
of his own head and, holding it up,
said:
"Split that"
Sherman replied quick as lightning:
May it please your honor, didn't
say bTistles."

tn. French Girl

Today the French girl must submit
to having her husband chosen for her
exactly as did her great-grandmother,
and that in every class Of society. To
the average French girl the fact that
she will one day be a wife and proba-
bly, a mother is as inevitable and GER
tain as is death itself, and from child
hood she is educated with a view to
fulfilling her vocation. Again, from the
day she is born her parents begin saw
ing a dowry for her, and should they
fail in amasslng a sum proportionate
to their means public opinion judges
them very severely. 1t also frequently
happens that several relations, even IL
by no means very well of. will join to-
gether to provide a small dowry for an
orphan niece or cousin. Daughters
share with sons any fortune left by
their parents. All this makes the DO
sitiOn Of a Frenchwoman very secure
and akin to that Of the man whom she
may marry.

AS an impartial observer without
any motive for fTenZied paTtisanship,
it seems to us that John Sharp VIII
liams. the twice chosen leader of the
democratic party in congress, has SUI
fered no loss of prestige or influence
by reason Of his little spat with Mr.,
Lamar Of this state. We deny the
right Of the latter gentleman to inn
pair or to seek to impair democratic
solidarity in congress because of a lit
tie personal grievance of his own. He
is Just as useful to his Florida con-
stituents of the Commerce Committee
as he is on it. Brace up, Mr. Lamar.
Mr.. Williams has in no wise impaired
your career as a statesman; and you
take a pointer from the Florida sticks
and don't play your whole stake on
the Hearst card. Mr.. Hcarst has been
a steady loser up to date and there is
an impression down this way that he
thinks good deal more of Hearst
than he does of the democratic party
anyway.
