iron hand, Friday, on offenders of the

Three miles from Pennington, Mich.
lives Henry Wixom, 20 years old, n Of
the most remarkable blind men in the
United States. He lives all alone with
the exception of a cat, rats and bees.
Wixom owns so hives of bees and sup
ports himself by the industry. Tie old
blind man is always accompanied by a
great tom cat that is as remarkable as
its master. This cat has been trained
like a dog and is always at Wixom's
heels. At times the old man goes astray
and when he does the cat finds the path
and sets up a peculiar yowling which

PERlLs OF s-TAGEcoAcHINC
Old Days Recalled by a Recent Upset
on q Mountain Road in
Oregon.

The perils of the old stagecoaching
days in the mountains west are recalled
by the recent adventure Of Superintend-
ent vaille, of the United States mail
service. in the District of Oregon. Mr..
Vaille, says the Springfield Republican,
is a brother of Mrs. A. B. Wallace, of this
city, and in a recent letter to her he thus
recounts his experience on an inspec-
ton tour by stage between Roseburg
and Myrtle Point:
"The road was in comparatively good
condition, and, barring a few minor mis-
haps, such as a wheelhorse turning tur-
tie on a hill, we had made good time. AT
about 11:15 p. m. l was awakened from
a momentary doze by the dropping Of
my side of the stage. Before l could col
lect myself sufficiently to get alarmed,
the side dropped still further and was
elected out into space. For 35 feet
sailed through the air and landed below
on a log that rested on the embank'
ment, Is feet below the road.
"The place where l landed did no!
strike me as a good resting spot, and SO
as it was very steep, l kept on and
bumped the bumps some hundred feel
further to the rocks on the edge of the
beautiful Middlefork. 1t was a sou
thrilling tumble as may be imagined
One of the wheelhorses tried the same
trip and landed beside me with a crushed
skull.
81 looked and saw the heavy stage
hanging above me on the log | had
missed on my first plunge. 1 got Out
from under as quickly as l could, and
then began to wonder what had become
of my stage companions, the driver and
three passengers. | could see one oil
them climbing up the bluff ahead of me
and it was one of the worst moments Of
my life when it flashed across my brain
that we two only had escaped alive and
the others had been caught by the log
and crushed to death. l called out fol
MI. Whitney, chief clerk of our service
who was making the trip with me-, and
was treasured when he answered my
just crawled.
"The fourth passenger had landed
alongside him. 1t took us some Is min.
utes to get up to the road; and a compar
ison of u injuries developed that tbs
driver, who was on the upper side and
did not go down the bank, had a rit
broken. Mr.. Whitney had a scalr
wound and many bruises, while had g
bruised leg and many sore spots. Thu
blessed log held the coach and one of thu
,wheelhorses and prevented them from
coming down on top of is. Two wheel
horses killed summed up the fatalities

CLAIMED BY TWO HUNTERS
Deer Shot by One Claimed by Another
Who Thought It Was
His Meat.

"Deer are coming back to the old
ground again., said Chris ~Jergensen,
one of the oldest ranchers of the Deer
Lodge valley, reports the Anaconda
Standard. People who lived in my
section of the valley will remember
the great droves of deer that used to
visit the swamps east of Anaconda.
There are a few white tail deer in
the valley now. and they are so tame
that I really believe they know all
about the state game laws. Many
times l have taken my rifle and
tramped through the swamps on the
lookout for deer and closely watching
all openings in the brush. In tracking
deer through the thick brush it was
not uncommon to run across fresh
bear tracks, and when l did it was
me for the open as fast as l could
travel. l had an experience with a big
cinnamon bear that l shall not soon
forget. With a companion l was hunt
ing deer, and we came upon a large
she cinnamon bear, and my companion
vas torn almost to fragments.
1.-THE bear jumped from behind a
brush, and almost before l knew what
was going on my companion was dead
and l had killed the bear. BY a lucky
chance, my bullet had found a fatal
spot.
81 ran across a fine band of deer in
my meadow, and l followe BID them care
fully for a long time, I managed to
get within easy range without dis
turbing the deer and picked out a nice
buck and fired and he fell to the
ground dead. Just then another shot
rang out. and before l could get to my
deer another man. living in a cabin
close by, appeared with a knife and
cut the animals throat. 1t appears
that he had shot at the band and be-
lieved it was his shot that brought
down the venison. We had a very
heated argument about it, and perhaps
fortunately for both of US a neighbor
happened along and suggested that we
toss up a coin to decide the question
of ownership. l won out and proudly
carried my venison home"

A Philosophy of Joy.

A quiet home; vines of our own
planting; a few books tall of the in
spiration of genius; a few friends
