Meanwhile Agamemnon, anxious to save

trall, vas moose, a splendid fellow three or
four years old lie had sunk into the snow
nntll h's back was almost covered, and he was
pulling like locomotive.
The men stood looking at the animal for
iew minutes, half pitying it, and thinking
what an easy prey it would have been to some
keen hunter. Then one of them picked up a
handful OF snow, formed it into ball and
threw it at the animal
At once every one seemed struck with the
novelty OF sDowballing moose and per-
feet shower of missiles flew around his horns
and ,whizzed past his ears. lie was evidently
too, tired to move, for he remained perfectly
still, only occasionally lodging his head and
switching his tail.
As the moose could not hit back, the men
soon tired of that kind of sport, and began
to pet each other. After lively battle, and
much joking and laughter over both hits and
misses, they started again on their weary
tramp, leaving the moose to wonder what kind
of people these could be who had chased him
for miles and then simply hit him with snow
balls.

The men in the lead noticed, as they
reached one part OF the gully through which
their course lay, the fresh tracks of a moose,
heading in the direction they were taking.
From the tracks it could be seen that the
animal was having a hard time of it in the

In the days of long ago, when
there were still fairies in the world.
and the people wore strange clothes
and had never seen any automobiles
or trolley cars or trains. and had only
candles to light their houses, and only
flint and finder to light the candle,
there were no story books for little
folks, or grown UP ones either, to
read.
The good priests in the monasteries
used to print books by hand, just as
you print words on Your slate but it
took a long, long thine, and the books
were never seen by ordinary people.
Then, in the year 1474-just think,
that was IS years before Columbus
discovered America man named
William Caxton came to England from
Germany. where he had been living,
with story of a. machine that would
print books.
Everybody thought he was talking
of some new magic and wouldn't listen
to him, so Caxton, who was at that
time at his. home in Kent, went up to
London and got room at Westmin-
ster. where he set up what he called
q, printing press"
Printed Words Quicker.
1t was very, very different from the
big machines that are found nova
days to print books and newspapers,
still it printed words much quicker
and better than they could be done by
hand. and when Caxton showed the
first stories he had printed on it all
the world marvened at the wonderful
invention.
For II years Mr.. Caxton kept his
printing press going. improving it
from time to time. so that he could
supply the English people with the
books that were such a novelty and
such delight to them.
He used to translate books from
other languag es too, for he was a.
very learned man. having studied hard
while he was q boy.
When he was only L. years old he
had been apprenticed to a London
merchant and served him SO well that
when the merchant died he left Cax-
ton all his money, which enabled the
lad to go to Germany to study and also
to travel around to see the world
Before America Was Discovered.
Caxton died in 1871, which was the
year before Columbus set sail for
America; 50 he did not even dream
that some day, in a great country
across the seas, hundreds and humid
reds of great machines would be go
ing day and night to supply boys and
girls and grown folks with things to
read. all founded upon the idea of his
own little printing press in Westmin-
ster.

Make Believe. you can appreciate how
