white handkerchief nuttered to the
ground and there rang out shot. It
was from the Ritter's pistol. He had
missed. The lieutenant" raised his
weapon and fired in the air
The Ritter salutcd, announced his
satisfaction and, advancing, shook
hands with his opponent. Both were
then hustled into their cloaks and into

over.
The two opponents drove away in

Much persuasion was used it is

HAS THRILLING RIDE
ON BIG MOSES BACK
BOSTON HUNTERS EXPERIENCE
WITH WILD BULL IN MAINE
WOODS.

Molunkus, Me.--John ]. Flynn, a
Boston sportsman, who has been in
camp ten miles west of the Molunkus
river, took ride on the back of a
bull moose the other day, and within
"a hours he dug up stakes and started
for home, saying that he had got HE
fill of the woods.
Mr. Flynn had never been in the
heavy timber until he came here. One
afternoon Mr.. Flynn was out for deer
and along at shutdown posted himself
in a thick copse close to a runway
used by bucks and does on their way
to and from water. He had been sit
ting quietly about an hour when he
heard twigs snap in the distance and
a little dater became aware of the fact
that a heavy-footed animal was com
ing down the runway.
The man had hardly cooked his rifle
before giant bull moose hove in
sight. He was in perfect range, but
Mr.. Flynn was stricken with bad at
tack OF buck fever, and when he fired
the ball wounded the bull in the shoul
der. The moose stopped short, looked
about for his enemy, and next instant
charged Mr.. Flynn. The hunter had
ample opportunity to reverse the lever
Of his rifle and fire again, but, like
many another in pinch, he lost his
head, dropped the gun, and ran,
Then, hearing the bull coming closer,
he changed his mind and started to
shin a sapling. 1t was an unwise
move, but the sportsman was too
scared to know it.
Mr.. Flynn had just reached low
branch and was swinging himself up
when the bull, lodging a tree, passed
directly under him. His antlers
brushed the mans legs, loosened his
hold, and down the hunter came
squarely astraddle of the bull
This was the cue for the moose to
get stage fright. Never before had
anything sat on his back, and with q
startled below he turned, struck the
trail, and headed for deep but mar

row creek that runs into Molunkus
river. Mr.. Flynn feared to hang on,
but he didn't dare to let go, and al.
most before he knew it he saw the
creek ahead, The sight so paralyzed
him that he couldn't even yell.
Just what happened next is some,
what mixed in the mind of Mr.. Flynn,
He says he thinks the bull tried to
clear the stream and that he fell
short. At any rate, man and beast
plunged into the water and fioundered
desperately. A little later the hunter
found himself on the muddy bank ant
heard the moose breaking through the
timber in full retreat Outside of {
ducking and a bad scare Mr. Flynn
was little the worse for his expert
| ence.

Where Real Problem Lies.

problem lies not in the foreign but in
the home field. There is nothing here
to handicap or hold us back. Our OPP

SERMONETTE.

Adonljah's cause was strong.
David was old and greatly en-
feebled. Certainly he did not
court another rebellion. How
was It, then, that he could act
with such precision, such posi-
tiveness, such boldness? 1t was
faith. Nothing in the world
could have pulled David togeth-
err and revived his waning facul.
ties but the sense of the obliea.
ton which he owed God and the
consciousness that Gods will
was to be wrought out in the
face Of the plottines of man.
What a grand thing 1t is to
see an old man whose strength
and inspiration is the Lord.
What have we after all to lean on
but God? AS earth is slipping
out from under our feet how
blessed IL is to feel and know
that the eternal purposes of God
are still to be wrought out In
the world.
In this incident of Adonijah's
grasping for the kingdom and
the final triumphant coronation
of the young man Solomon we
have prefieurement Of the uI-
Innate triumph and coronation
of Christ the King of kings and
Lord of lords. The world would
put self upon the throne, but
God has other plans and In the
fulIness of time "Jesus shall
reign Where'er the sun doth
his successive journeys rum"
/ Nothing can thwart the prom
ises that we're made to the
!. Son when in the beginning
. he offered himself as the worlds
Redeemer, and nothing can in
( terfere with the glorious full
fillment of the Divine will.
AS the youth of Solomon in
\ many ways prefigured the youth
of the Christ, so in his trium-
plant coming to the kingdom and
3 his glorious reign we find a hint
or suggestion of the coming sIo-
( rious reign of the Christ.
\ "And he (Adonijah) came
& and bowed himself to King Sol
3 omon." This outward act of
4 reverence and submission to the
i newly-crowned king reminds US
D of the Scripture which saith:
Z "Every knee shall bow to me
2 and every tongue shall confess
x to God" However rebeIious
8 and wicked the heart may be,
K there Is coming the time when
x every knee must bow and every
4 tongue confess to God. Christ
. has not yet come into his own,
< but the day is coming when as
g King he shall take possession of
IS the Kingdoms of the world, and
S then many a knee which has
q refused to bow to his rule will
y be forced to recognize his power
8 and authority and be brought
Y low before him.

This she has done successfully,
dressed in her admirers uniform.
Fraulcin Loener is one of the most

tale, party of officers were gathered
at late supper. The wine flowed
freely and the talk was that of women
and love adventures. Fraulein Loef
ler's name was mentioned. Ritter Zu
Richthofer, of the hussars, made
sneering insinuation about her. In
stantly Lieut.. Zeska jumped to his
feet, called the Ritter liar and threw
his glass Of wine in his face. The
Ritter slapped the lieutenant's face in
reuturn. A challenge was at once
given and accepted.
Lieut. Zeska belongs to the artil-
lery stationed in Pesth, and as there
was a field day next morning the duel
was put off till the day after by i'm
mediate agreement of the seconds.
The lieutenant repaired to his quar-
ters. Full of the matter he sat down
and wrote long letter to his mother,
giving her all particulars. The mother,
a widow, lives in the suburb of Ko-
banya. The lieutenant left this let
ter on his writing desk Next day he
was on duty till nightfall.
Meanwhile much happened Lieut.
Zeskas devoted servant saw the let

the duel must take place. 1t was i'm

If the Ritter shot in the air the ar
