strong front feet into the bark and
tear off a great strip by lifting his
head. He hews a bit of this, only to
throw it aside and strip another tree
further on. In trailing bull moose
one can often follow his course far
ahead by the unsightly gashes or
'peelings' which he leaves behind
him. Another destructive method OF
feeding is by riding down young
trees whose tops are above it's reach.
He straddles the trunk, bending it
down by his great weight, holding
1t under his belly while he eats all
the buds and tender twigs A tree
thus moose ridden barely ever lecov-
ers. 1t remains bent or broken, like
a discarded boss; it cannot breathe
without it's leaves; it dies and the
winter SHOWS cover it from sight.
Another notable characteristic OF
the bull moose is his inordinate and
Interchangeable selfishness. Whether
roaming in the woods in solitude. or
tearing up the earth, or coming head
long to the call, he is thinking, first,
last, all the time, of the safety OF
his own skin and the fullness o. his
own stomach. I can take off my hat
to cow moose, having frequently
seen her sacrifice herself to save her
offspring or to protect the herd in
the winter yard; but l never yet saw
bull moose do anything for any
body but himself He is the incarna-
ton of self-interest. A COW, or even
a calf moose, if she sees danger ap-
preaching, will warn the others be-
fore she takes the first step for her
own safety; but a bull moose will
sneak away quietly at the first sniff
of peril, leaving all others to look
out for themselves. And that, by the
way, is the real reason why a female
animal is invariably found at the
head of a band of moose or deer OF
any kind. If they are approaching
danger, you will invariably find the
COWS ahead, the calves close behind,
while far in the rear comes the bull,
taking care not to expose his precious
hide, and running from a safe dis
lance at the first warning of danger.
This characteristic of the noble to-
tenn, however. need not be emphasize
perchance, the new party
goes over totally to the suffragettes.
Further indications of the bulls
essential selfishness are found in his
frequent abuse and browbeating OF
all other moose that are smaller than
himself He cannot tolerate rival,
but flies into a jealous rage at the
first suggestion that there is any 9TH
err bull moose in the universe. His
voice at such times is squeaking
grunt, ridiculously small for so great
an animal, which sounds like
ungwuhi ungwuh! Herein we have
q suggestion of those ferocious war
riors described in Parkman's Con
spiracy of Pontiac" who always be-
gan a speech by shouting "Ongwehon-
wei" which in the tongue Of that
great tribe, means, 81 am the only
man; all others are squaws and IL
ars."

able sermon in the morning to a large
and a%ppreciative audience. Rev. II,
w. Meeks. pastor of the First NJ. f.

finances. and after the sermon he and
assistants raised a goodly portion of

Another large congregation assem-
bled in the sanctuary at 3 o'clock

Tor. of Winchester, and II was a fine
effort After the money had all been
raised Bishop Cranston oficiated at
the ceremony of dedication, taking oc-
casion to heartily commend the efforts
of pastor and people.
At the evening service the sermon
was preached by Rev. Guy Luttrell,
of Alexandria. Va, a former pastor of
the congregation. Rev. Mr.. Ely, Of
Berkeley Springs, another former
pastor, was to have been present but
was unavoidably detained. This end
ed the memorable services OF the

The church is built of brick, with
three large gothic-shaped memorial
windows. two of which have fgurtd
glass of beautiful design representing
incidents in the life Of Jesus. All

doors. 1t is heated from the cellar.
A roomy basement will be utilized
for social purposes. Rev. Mr.. F1em-
ing and his people are to be congrat-
ulated for erecting an edifice that is
so much of an ornament to the village
of Bunker Hill.
