AN INDIAN .
IN LUCK
it " '
A Canadian hunter, speaking through
the Philadelphia Press, tells a remark
able story of an Indian who found
three wooae swimming in a lake and
tilled them all slugle handed, though
he had no firearms. He paddled as fast
as ho could alongside one of them
and threw his blanket over the anl

It had uot lieeu for a fair wind he
cc\er would have cau^-Jt him.
As It was, he eatue up to him ouly
w" a \?! !?!? tifty .vards of the shore.
The uiout'e was flreil and dkl not make
much headway. The Indian it rack
him ou the nose with lib paddle aud
?tutiued him fur h moment. He thca
gave him a rup on the head and fin
ished him after a few more blown.
But it requires very skillful paddling
to kill a moose In the water, and this
hunter could not have douc It so easily
If the poor animal had not been tired
out wltb swimming across a broad
lake.
After he had dragged this one Into
shallow water he turned to look for
the others. They were swimming
round and round in the middle of the
lake, for they could uot see which way
to go. After resting for awhile the In
dian paddled up to the nearest mooue
and turncJ him toward shore, always
keeping a little behind and changing
from one side to the other, according
as the moose wandered from a straight
line. When be had driven htm near
land be paddled up to him and served
him as he bad done the first, tied his
carcass to the canoe and towed him
into shallow water. He then went aft
er the third, which was still swimming,
but very v.eak. He got him with diffi
culty near the shore and dispatched ,
him in the same manner.
Snake Nab* Fish by Tail.
While dragvrlug a pond uear Iteddlug
Itldge, Couu.. In a search for small
ash for bu.it Rubeu Warren of Bridge
port saw a trout weighing about a
pound motionless In a pool near the
shore. He waded out toward the fish,
which did not move. Bending over
quickly, he grabbed It close up toward
the gills, aud on inislug it from the
water he t\as astonished to tind a wa
ter snake measuring four feet fast to
the trout's tail. Warren toot the fish
and snake ashore, killed the reptile
and carried them to Bridgeport, where
he has placed them on exhibition at
the rooms of the Fish and Uame club.
Woman Kill* Bulldog With Sword.
Mrs. Roy Wilson, wife of a Chicago
lusurance broker, seeing her husband
at the mercy of uu lufuriated bulldog
at her home, seized u sword, ran the
animal through and pinioned it aguinst
the wall until dead. Wilson and his
wife both faluted after the experl
ence. They were resuscitated by

The most Imp <rtan'? of these was the

Wednesday to Tburslay. The presi
dent, Mrs. W. C. Blanc'iard, being ab
sent, Mrs. Jones, who fillet! the chair,
deferred the appoi Wmeniof s venl im

A PROPHECY
A sleeping ground-ing snugly curled,
Lty in his winter Ulr;
Till r cial Instln-it in him stirred.
A prophecy to dare
Then open:nj wde his sleep dimmed
eyes.
He climbed his rock-ribb?d stair;
To try if he could catch a sniff,
Of b'lmy ?|iring-tiirae air.
A looming bido* met his view:
"A bear!" he cried, "A bear!"
And turn:ng tail he downward slid,
With more of h^ste than care.
"A narrow squeak" he trimb inp
sighed.
While smoothing his back hair,
"Ano'her second I'd b#>en done,
Although hi likes meat rare.
"A six weeks' nap will soothe mv
nerves,
So shaken by this scare;
But loDg beforo that time empires.
He'll be a frozen bear."
