One incident which occurred at Cal

excellence of the locality as a hunting
ground as well as a place affording fine
facilities for fishing G. H. Foster, Mr..
and Mrs. L. NJ. McGouldrick and Miss
Gertrude Foster, who were spending sew
eral days at the Foster cottage were out
for a row in their boat, when some dis
lance ahead of them they noticed three
men in boat which was being propelled
with rapidity by two sets of oars, and
they soon discovered the reason for the
speed of the boat, two young moose max
ing an effort to reach the shore. The men
having seen Mr.. Fosters party, kept
their boat between the animals and the
shore till they came up nearer and could
get better view. After the exciting sail
down the lake, the thoroughly frightened
animals somewhat tired by their long
swim We're allowed to land at point
some fifty yards below the cottage of
DR.. F. L. Shaw and set their own pace
as they walked off into the forest while
the seven onlookers in the boats were
filled with admiration at the sight. The
three men who instituted the chase were
guests from abroad at the cottage of Her.
bert b. Sprague of Pembroke. Moose
had been seen to swim across the mar
rows, which they probably started to do
in this case, but were turned from their
course at the sight of the men rowing
across from the eastern arm of the lake.

Christ Is really and truly to live;
whereas the service of the world and

being a cramping. restrictive infiu-

is to realize its expanding possibilities

abounds: life abOunds.
