bou, Bear and Foxes.
With the big game record Of six
caribou, seven moose, ten or twelve
deer, one bear, and large number OF
foxes, Mrs. Mabel Moses Of Tilton, n
H., asserts that in her hunting expert
ences in the woods of Maine, New
Hampshire, and New Brunswick the
only thing that has ever given her the
slightest occasion for worry was the
possibility of wetting her feet
In tramping through the wilderness
and facing wild animals under almost
every possible variety Of Circumstance
es Mrs. Moses declares she never felt
the least sense Of personal danger.
She doubts even II she ever saw ono
of the hunted creatures in a really
threatening attitude.
"As for the bear" said she to
Boston Herald representative, 81
really think the bear is the shyest
creature to be found. have seen
large number, but l was able only
once to get near enough to kill, and
that chap, l think, would have got
away from me II 1t had not been for
the dogs that attacked him and forced
him to turn"
Both Mrs. Moses aud her husband,
William H. Moses, are earnest big
game hunters, and every fall for the
last ten years they have taken a trip
into regions where success is likely

At first they sought the bear and
deer of New Hampshire, then they
went 10 Maine for moose and deer,
and of late years they have journeyed
to New Brunswick, where in addition
to moose and deer and bear are carl
bou. This year they got all the law
allows. bringing from New Brunswick
TO Tilton two moose, two caribou and
two deer.
Besides these they saw many 9th
ers of each species and could easily
have brought down a dozen, but they
we're we'll satisfied with the success
\ they met with, and it needed no strin-
gent law to restrain them from fur
Their kills.
Il go hunting for sheer love OF the
sport" remarked Mrs Moses. "The
free life in the open, the excitement
of the chase, the nerve and muscle
tonic Of the great woods and the com
partnership Of my husband make q
combination Offering far greater vaca
ton pleasures for me than l could gel
in any other way. Mr.. Moses neye'
has TO urge me to get ready when the
time for our annual trip to the woods
