SAVED BY LUCKY SHOT.

A big black bear taught Hubert
Baker, of Croton Falls, lesson that
he will not forget soon, and that Is,
the next time he goes hunting bruin
1t will be with u rife that shoots a
bullet larger than pea. Arthur
Gaming killed this bear just in time
to save his friend Baker from a terri
BILE clawing and perhaps death. The
animal was full-grown and after

lucky shot
Hunting parties started out after
the bear week ago when his tracks
were first seen in upper Westchester,
but not until Monday did any one
come up with him. 1t was lone
hunter who sighted him, and a shot
warmed bruin into a run which left
the man with the gun far behind. 1t
was late in the afternoon, and he had
no dog to follow the trail. Spots Of
blood in the snow told him that he
had wounded the animal, but when
the hunter had followed them about
a mile he concluded the bullet had
done but slight damage and turned
homeward.
The news that some one had seen
the bear soon spread, and the first
thing the next morning Baker and
Gaming were out for bruins scalp.
They came upon him unexpectedly
and Baker, forgetting the small! call
ibre of his rife, fired and wounded
the bear slightly. Smarting from the
shot of the day before, the new
wound put the animal into terrible
rage, and he started for Baker, who
tried another shot, which went wide.
Gaming called to Baker to take to
his heels and leave him to try to
bring the angered blackie down as he
passed him. Baker was quite willing
to take his friends advice, but he
had gone only few yards when he
stumbled. 1t was a time now to try
mans nerve. Gaming took careful
aim and fired

Soup Without a Spoon.

Soup without spoon seems even
harder to negotiate than meat without
a fork, and we can sympathize with
the complaint recorded in the diary
of Felix Platter, young Swiss, who
went to Montpelier in 1862 in order
to study medicine. He lodged in the
house of his professor, Catelan, one of
the greatest doctors of his time, and
yet, writes Platter, 1--WE were com
PEELED to eat our stew in the usual
French fashion-that Is to say, pick
ing the meat out with our fingers and
then drinking the broth. In vain
we begged our hostess to let us have
spoons, for not a single one was to be
found in the house, the only imple-
ment on the table being large knife
fastened with an iron chain. No one
here seems to have ever heard of
spoons, which we at home find so use
full" Montaigne was astonished
when he visited Switzerland, in 1880,
to find that "at all meals they put
on the table as many spoons as there
are people ent."-London Chron-

Animals Lenuth of Life.

The maximum length OF life Of some
of the best known animals Is as fol
lows: The horse lives to maxi
mum OF 80 years and the donkey a like
period; the dog does not exceed 25
years, the rabbit from eight to 10, the
goose 30, the duck, the hen and the
turkey dozen years.
Among the animals having the best
established reputation for longevity
are: The crow, which lives hun
dred years; the parrot and the ele
phant, which attain an age of 15t
years. Carp, on the other hand, ap
pear to have usurped their reputation
which was based on i'll understood
facts from Chantilly and Fountaine
bleu. They rarely become centena
rians. The tortoise appears to be
the animal that lives the longest, and
the record Of longevity is surely held
by one weighing $50 Kilograms, which
was presented in 1904 to the London
geological gardens by Walter de Roth
schild and which is said to have been
born in 1750.--La Vulgarisation Scien

FORESTS FOR INDIANA
Great Tracts Of Waste Land Being
Planted In Fast Growing
Varieties.

There seems to be revival In tree
planting In southern Indiana. The
government forester and the Indiana
board of forestry have for several
years been advising the farmers to
plant forest trees. 1t Is only of late
years that there seems to have been
any marked results of these appeals
made by the government and the
State, says the Indianapolis Star.
In Warrlck county and other coun-
ties in the southern part OF Indiana
many farmers have utilized their
waste tracts by setting out black To-
Gusts, hardy catalpa and other varie-
ties OF fast growing trees. This Is
due largely to the post famine that
the farmers are having to contend
with. 1t Is almost impossible to Sc
cure good lasting fence posts and the
farmers have found that the black To-
Gust, hardy catalpa and Usage orange

THE MEDAL OF HONOR.

One day last March the room of
the Speaker of the House OF Repre-
sentatives at Washington witnessed
an unusual scene--the presentation
of medal of honor to a young Irish
woman in recognition of her remark
able heroism five years ago, at the
terrible General Slocum disaster.
The young woman of to-day was
then only a girl Of fourteen, scarcely
a year over from Ireland, and con-
valescing in the Contagious Disease
Hospital at North Broth Island from
a severe attack of scarlet fever. 1t
was hardly to be expected that one
OF life's great tests should come to a
girl of fourteen, i'll in a hospital. To
this girl, suddenly into the quiet day.
came the sight of the blazing vessel
with its awful agony.
Without hesitating a second. en-
tirely iorgetful of her own weakness.
she dashed down the stairs, out to
the shore and into the water. seized
a baby which had just Been thrown
from the vessel, and waded with il
to the shore. She returned for an
other and another, until, in all, she
had saved nine children; then she
herself tainted and would have been
drowned had she not been seen and
rescued by one of the firemen from
the hospital A nearly fatal relapse
followed and when she recovered
from that, she went to Washington.
leaving no trace of her whereabouts.
Meantime, Representative Goulden,
OF New York, having learned the
story of her heroism, Immediately
began a search for her, but it was not
until short time ago that she was
discovered in training school for
nurses in Washington. Mr.. Goulden
at once applied to the government
for medal of honor and the sequel
was the little ceremony in the Capi-
tol in March.
Quick wit, heroism and self-sacri-
flee make good foundation for sue

woman has chosen, as well as in any
other she might choose. The fine
little incident only emphasizes afresh
