 Old Boy.


 In Q small town in northern Michi- gan lived two boys by the name ot David Nelson and Harry Morrison These boys had waited many weeks for light snowfall. so that they might go rabbit hunting.
 At last the day arrived and the boys started at six o'clock in the morning with their rifles. They walked about seven miles through a thick wood without bit of success.
 At last night began to fall. and liar. " and David built a camp fire and spread their blankets on the ground. Tn the course of an Tour both boys fell into deep slumt-r.
 Suddenly Harry was awakened by the growing of some animal. He woke David, and they sat and listened to the noise for about five minutes Then they took their rifles md started in the direction from w5ish ths sound came
 All at once they came upon large bear growing at a wolf. The boys climbed a tree and when they had reached the middle, instead of one firing at the bear and the other al the wolf they both fired at the wolf and killed him. This made Bruin very angry and he started up the tree after the boys. This was done so quickly that the boys had no time to load their rifles.
 But Harry, taking hold of his gun by the barrel. kept the bear at bay till David got his loaded, and shot the brute.

WEES VIGIL BY CAVERN MOUTH
 FOR HUSBAND

FLAGSTAFF. Sept 11-John Mohlenpah of Newark, Ohio. who Is visiting Adam Mohlenpah, his uncle, and J. s. Price, who is in the em- ploy of Babbitt Brothers were mem bers of a party who left recently for visit to the ice caves, eight miles south of town and near Lake Mary.
 The two young men enterey the caves about o'clock yesterday after noon. taking no lights other than matches. After they had been gone for several hours the other members of the party tried calling to them but could get no response. Late last night the search was given up and the party started to Flagstaff to get guides who understood the saves.
 About noon party in charge of Al Sims left Flagstaff with ropes, Ian terms and other paraphernalia and ue- scended into the caves shortly after o'clock, tying one man to the end of the rope and stationing men at in teTvaIs of ten feet After going into the caves nearly half mile and crossing a number of canyons, a slip meaning instant death in the depth below, the party heard the lost ones calling for help and found them perch ed on a shelving rock at the foot of which was a precipice ever IUo feet deep, and at the bottom of which is nothing but solid rock.
 It was with the greatest difficulty that the searchers could keep the lost ones from trying to come towards them, and such a move meant death on the rocks below. After tying them to ropes they were released from their trying position and pulled to safety over the trail they had crossed on their knees the night before.
 Both men were badly chilled through and would have perished in another night, as there was not the slightest possibility of their getting out of the cavern without lights. They nau Durn, ed their collars and then their shirts in vain effort to keep up the fire from their last match. There are many routes into the vaces and it was a sheer miracle that the search CTS took the same route as that chosen by the lost men, and as sound does not carry more than a few feet they could have been passed at any | time unseen. Both men were in bad shape frCm their experience and could not have held out much longer in the freezing temperature of the caves.
 Mrs Price, who had camped at the entrance to the caves all night, was prostrated, as many who knew of the dangers of the place to those unfamii far with the trails had prepared hel for the worst. This is the first timt anyone has been foolhardy enough tC venture into the caves any distance --ithout guides and lights and will bC posted in the vicinity of the entranc. to warn enthusiastic explorers.

THE FAIRYs GIFT.
A Lrsle Princess Who Learned That
 Beauty of Heart Was Best.

Once upon time (as all true fairy stories begin), there lived beautiful queen who had an only daughter. The girls name was Veritas, which means Truth"
 Truth was a very pretty child, with large blue eyes and pearly white teeth, but right in the middle of her forehead was a peculiar mark" where the fairy Felicitas had kissed her on her first birthday.
 Veritas did not know the value of the fairys kiss. and tried. as she grew older and began to think about her personal appearance, to have the mark removed; but none of the court physicians could do anything for her.
 One night, after she had been tucked into bed by her old purse, she saw the fairy Felicitas standing be- side her.
 "Veritas.'' said the fairy, edo not worry about the mark on your fore head Happy are they who receive the kiss of Feiicitas; but few are they who make use of it. Heed me. veritas, fret no more, and thine will! be the gift of happiness" and then Felicitas disappeared
 Veritas thought .t was dream; but nevertheless she remembered the fairy's advice. The older she grew the happier she grew, until all the people far and near began to love her.
 No one noticed the mark, for all they saw was her own beautiful self. But in spite of the fairy's promise, when the good queen died Veritas was not qU te so happy. A sad look ap peared about her eyes. but all the peo pie With whom she came in contact were cheered by her noble words and pure mind As time went on, Veritas lcst her sadness, and good cheer again tiled the palace, and though she lived to be an old woman her life was al ways a good and beautiful one.
 Never more did, she wish to have Ehe mark removed, for 1t meant more than all else to her.-C. G, Gerson, iu Philadelphia Ledger.

Tn the northern part of India sheep are put to use unthought of in Flu rupean or American countries. They are made to serve as beasts of bur den, because they are more sure-foot- ed than larger beasts, and the noun tain paths along the foothills of the Himalayas are steep and difficult. The load for each sheep is from Is to 20 pounds. The sheep are driven from the village to village, with the wool still growing, and in each town the farmer shears as much wool as he can sell there and loads the sheep with the grain which he receives in ex- change After his flock has been sheared he turns it homeward, each sheep having on its back a small bag containing the purchased grain.

along the frigid coast line. The pom derous ice pack, m ade of acres and acres of ice frozen centuries ago, stands but short distance farther out to sea awaiting the irst favorable wind to intrude itself unon the shore. When it comes, with an irresista ble force it drives everything before it; and the sheet of shore ice is slipped inshore like sheet of cardboard in strong mans hand. AS it creeps steadily along, woe to the escaping it-it car ries destruction and death. Someti mes an obstruction will cause the ice to buckle, and it will then pile up moun- tain high. The natives watch for the coming of the pack with fear and trem- bling, keeping sentinel constantly on duty to give the alarm. When it is over and all are safe the excitement subsidies. The danger is over for that year. Unlike the Taku wind it does not repeat itself.
