BERKsHIRE's WILD MOOSE.
Let Out of Whitney Game Enclosure
by Hunters.

From the Great Darlington COURIER
Game. Warden Sargood says that a
number of moose are at larges in the
hills of Berkshire and; for a year sor
more hase.been roaming at larges They
came from the Whitney game in
closure, during the open week Of last
November when hunters cut the big
ten-foot wire fence to let out the deer
and elk which they hoped to shoot.
Since then the game warde1s OF the
county have been hearing reports from
various parts of the county and New
York state that moose have been seen.
but there has been more or less doubt
expressed on the subject until a big
bull moose was shot at Westfield and
thus the stories were confirmed.
According to Mr. Sargood there were
twenty-four moose in the Whitney IN
closure. but for several months past
only eighteen have been sighted. Mr..
Sargood has himself seen a bull and
two COW moose Wild in the woods and
believes there are several others from
the missing Whitney herd. AS the
vicious season of the moose Is In Octo-
Der and November, timid hunters. have
had some hesitancy about venturins
far in the mountains alone lest the
moose assail them. but those who Know
the pecuiiarfties of the moose say that
they will not attack unless wounded
or seriously molested. They, from
habit. keep close TO pine swamps Btu
are naturally shy.
Omen deer week is near and as the
moose are governed by the same law
as deer, rrimbers of sporting clubs are
urging shutters to refrain from shoot
ing at moose, as there are enough OF
them now abroad to restock Berkshire
forests il left unmolested for Few

Trouser Crease on the Side.

London Correspondence Of the Haberdasher.
There is a report that the crease down
the front of our trousers is going to be
abolished 1t is to King George that the
idea is credited. Perhaps ! should say IT
is King George who Is accused of the
idea, and, OF course, the suggestion is
that his well known nautical tastes have
rebelled, as they are always rebelling. in
favor of the frock coat.
The tight pressed front seam is so use-
full in keeping the shape of the trousers
right that there Is no likelihood at all OF
its being put out of use. At the same
time the fancy for old fashions like side
whiskers and so on might bring all sorts
of other old things with II. though the
fat trouser is the least likely thing. The
tendency Of trousers is to be worn looser,
and loose trousers would stand ironing
the wrong way better than trousers that

Greatness Of the Great Lake Ports.

From Harper's Magazine
Upon the five great lakes there throbs
a commerce that well might be the envy
Of any far-reaching sea. To put the thing
concretely, the freight portion of this
commerce alone reached tremendous totals
in 1912. In the navigation months of this
last year exactly 1885. Az tons of iron
ore and an even greater tonnage of coal
moved upon the lakes. while the enor-
nous total of 1JS.O00. 900 bushels of grain
was received at the port of Buffalo In
1911 the shipping of the lakes felt sharply
the poor grain CROP of 1910 and the
slight reaction in both the steel and the
copper markets; whole fleets of vessels
rusted their very hearts out in the har-
bors Of Buffalo and the other great ports
of the lower lakes. But the business of
the lakes seems to increase at the rate of
per cent annually, and in 1912 more
than held its own. TrAff1c grows fast
upon the great water highway of the new
world. Already the tonnage of Cleveland.
Ohio is comparable with that of Liver
pool, and yet there are tens OF thousands
Of sailormen upon the salt seas who have
never even heard of Cleveland. Detroit
boasts that in the season of eight months
Of open navigation a tonnage ten times
that which the full year gives to the Suez
canal passes her wharyes on the narrow
river that bears her name
