MOOSE ATTACKS a HORSE.
And the Horse Resorts In kind-As
incident Of the Maine Woods.

Three young men from Milltown.

try districts recently TO pass the day
aud ief, their old horse standing un.
der the shade Of the whispering pines
while they commuKcd with nature
some little distance away. according
to the kennebec Journal. They were
startled by the neighing and snort.
ing of their stccd and upon reach.
ing the spot where the animal was
tied they witnessed an exciting en-.
counter between a bull moose and the
horse. Tho monarch OF the forest JUS,
happened along and found the horne
encroachins upon his domain and
very naturally resented the Intrusion.
He made run for the unfortunate
most a sure thing, when the old
horses fighting blood got up and.
instead Of waiting to be rammed like
a fishing boat In a fog. he stood up
on his hind legs and caught the bull
moose a swat fair upon the nose with
both forefeet. Both animals sat down
suddenly TO think the matter over. the
moose from the surprise OF the shock.
and the horse because he lost his
balance. and II would doubtless have
gone hard with the latter. which was
incumbered with the harness and rig
ging. had not the young men set upon
the forest king with yells Just as he
was about to resume the attack upon
his helpless adversary. Any one who
remembers the noise which a Mill.
town man is capable Of making when
out for good time will pardon
the moose for his sudden and undigni.

Nature and a woman's work CON-
bined have produced the grnndest
remedy for woman's ills that tho
world has ever known.
In the good d-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs OF the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study Of drugs. F.
From the roots and herbs of tho
field Lydia 4. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
Of tho world remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and efiica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound IL now recognized rs tho
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muf, Of 5l5 NC. St,
