be great falling off in the number

guides have reported moose and deer
more plentiful In the woods this year
than for several seasons past, the con-
ditions for the pursuit OF game have
not been entirely favorable. which un-
doubtedly accounts in part for the
small number of animals secured.

THE CUNNING CROW.

Once chained-up watchdog lay in
front of his kennel lazily picking a
bone. A hungry crow looked on with
longing eyes, and hoped that by di-
verting the attention of the dog ii
might succeed In securing the bone for
itself. SO it came as close to the ami
NAL as it dared, and began to indulge
In all sorts of ridiculous antics. The
dog. however, took not the slightest
notice.
Then the crow hurried off and
fetched friend, who seated himself
on the bough of tree just behind the
kennel. while the first crow again
danced before the dog. As the animal
continued to remain absolutely indif-
ferent, the crow friend few into the
air, suddenly swooped down, and
struck the dogs spine a tremendous
blow with its beak.
The dog started with surprise and
pain, and, dropping the bone. made
fierce but unsuccessful grab at his as
sailant. Meanwhile the first crow
snatched up the bone as quick as light
ming, and flew off with it. The two
conspirators then shared the stolen
between them.-W Waterman.

bell is about the size of an ordinary

less than pound.
Little Willie" as the cat is called,
likes sparrows, and went hunting to
the belfry of the little church yester-
day morning about o'clock. A spar
row must have been in the bell to start
with, and when the cat made a jump
for it the bell tolled.
The swinging clapper then attracted
the attention of the cat more than did
the sparrow. and Little Willie" began
to play with ii. The bell sounded sew
eral times, and the people living near
by peered through their windows to
see what was happening. Some
thought there was to be an early morn
