TRIO OF BOSTOINS ARE TREED
Haughty Animal Resented Indignity

mary Vengeance on Hor Atsailant'*
Camp? Driven Cff by a Mirror.
A tenderfoot sportsman who didn't
know any better slapped a cow moose
OB the rump with a barrel stave and
t&en wondered why the Indignant for
eat matron wrecked his camp, chased
two pretty women up a tree and ter
rorized the entire party until the guide
returned.
The foolhardy sportsman was L. B.
Loagstreet of Boston. One of the wo
U MCUYKD A SOLAR PLKXCS BLOW.
E?ec whs bis wife und tbe other. Miss
Alice Fisher, his niece. In company
with J. T. Barbour, also of Boston. Mr.
Lougitreet pitched camp In the moose
timber near Patten, Me., to study na
ture and fi*h.
Mr. Barbour and the trukle bad left
camp for uu afternoon's troutlag, when
Mm. Longstreet reported to her hus
band tbat u strange animal, looking
something like a cow, was trampling
the croquet ground In the rear of the
teats.
Mr. Longstreet removed his glasses,
placed them In his pocket and swatted
the offending moose where he would
have applied a spank to a disobedient
child. Next instant he received a solar
plexus blow that sent him sprawling.
Mrs. Longstreet shouted in fright.
The shout was extremely ill advised,
for it attracted the attentlou of Mrs.
Moose to her, aud, with a low, hollow
bellow, she gave chase. The pursued
women saw little chance In tllght, so
they negotiated two low limbed
spruces, where they clung panting and
shrieking, while Mr. Longstreet shin
ned another. >.
Being unable to reach the trio, the
mouse started in to wreck the camp,
and she made a good Job of it.
For a couple of hours the party re
mained treed. Then the guide and Mr.
Barbour appeared. The guide took in
the situation from a distance and man
aged to sneak up to the overturned
tents unobserved. Procuring a two foot
looking glass from Miss Fisher's de
molished "boudoir," he gut a line on [
the descending sun and dashed the
rays upon the moose. The effect was 1
Instantaneous. The animal started, !
blinked, turned tali and ran, calllug to '
her young to follow.
Joke May Coat Man His Life.
A laugh over a Joke may cost David
Davis of Cincinnati, aged seventy, his
life. At least It will leave him crippled
the remainder of his days. He Is now
In a hospital with a broken leg and
fraetured thigh, the result of the laugh.
Seated on a twelve foot wall with a
number of companions swapping sto
ries, the old man laughed so heartily
at one of the tales that he lost his bal
ance ou the wall and toppled over into
the street. Owing to his advanced age
the injuries may prove fatal.
Whiskers Prevent Suieide.
It was his whiskers and uothiug else
that saved the life of Samuel Alttuan
jf Woodbine. ? N. J. Altman had al
ways prIJed himself uir?i his luxurl
nit hirsute growth, but had he known
that It would Interfere with Tils plana
for ending lits life he would doubtless
have visited the barber before trying
to cut his throat. Altaian hacked his
throat terribly, but the strong, wiry
hair prevented the razor from reach
ing vital parts. In consequence ho

Parson Kill* P*r?on Over Hog.
In a quarrel over a hog the Rev.
John Grant, a Methodist minister of
Galloway, Ark., shot and killed the
Rev. Martin Glenn, a Baptist minister.
The hog belonged to Glenn and had
been destroying the Grant garden.
Kill* Heraelf With Hot Coffee.
Margaret Hagendorfer, a four-year
old girl living at 2388 First avenue,
New York city, died In convulsions as
the result of bums received when she
tipped over on herself a pot of hot
coffee.
Kiisoa Audible a Block Away.
Kissing that sounds like a battery of
gatiing guns and that can be heard
a block away has aroused some of
the exclusive and aristocratic resi
dents of Eau Claire, Wis., and a pro
test, which is expected to lead to the
presentation of an ordlnanco making
It Illegal to kiss in public, was made to
the city council. It is claimed by
those who object to the public osculu
tioa that spooning couples who take
nightly strolls under the trees and si'
on some of the front steps of home
make the night resound with the stren
nous efforts, much to the disgust of
other residents and passersby. Sev
eral city officials are among those said
to have been worried by the specially
loud kissing, but the complaints have
been made, it Is claimed, by womeu
who are forced to sit mi their own
front porches and listen to the spoon
ing In the dark.
TIES BURGLAR TO A TREE.
Girl Grab* Intruder, Beat* Him and
Bind* Him Fast.
Pluckily attacking a burglar who
had entered her room, Miss Jeanette
Armstrong at Towaco, Morris county,
N. J., after knocking the man down
covered him with a revolver until help
arrived. In the struggle Miss Arm
strong's shoulder was put out of com
mission temporarily by a blow from a
wagon wrench.
Miss Armstrong was a guest at the
home of Aaron Jacobus. Iler room |
overlooked the roof of the porch that ,
surrounds the house. She was awak- ,

The young woman had taken a re

her excitement dropped It. The bur
glar made at her with uplifted hand.
She caught hi" arm vrltli her left hand,
' but the blow fell upon her shoulder.
With her right hand she landed on
the point of the fellow's chin, and he
went down. In an Instant the girl had

distance away, and It was decided to
tie the man for the night. His arms
were pinioned by Miss Armstrong, who
then bound him to n tree in the yard.
The family waited until morning, in
tending to take him to Boonton. At
daylight he was gone. The ropes that
bound him had been cut.
It is thought the robber had a con- 1
federate and that when he was tied
the man watched his chance and cut |
the ropes. Miss Armstrong lives in

SQUARED ACCOUNTS.
Also Wftn a Reputation and Saved
Himaelf Further Trouble.
Press agents, like other individuals,
have their troubles, but there Is oue In
Philadelphia who has fewer of them
than the ordinary inun. Asked one day
how he managed so well to get along
with everybody, he explained:
"Weil, I won a reputation. You see,
when a press agent Is able to ^tve a
man heart disease from which he ac
tually dies his troubles cease if persons
have a proper regard for their lives. I
was the press ageut for a German
singing fest. I naturally used the Ger
man papers.
"There was one editor who had the
Idea that he wasn't getting all that
was due. Nevertheless he published
column after column of type and pic
tures.
"Afterward the managers of the
show received a bill for $820 'for ad
vertising.' They were in n rage. 'What
shall we do?" they demanded. 'Dou't
get excited,' I cautioned 'em. 'I'll fix
that all right.'
"I went to the office of a friend, and,
going to the tyi>e cases, I stuck the
flnest billhead you ever laid eyes on. 1
printed It In two Inks. It read, 'The
Two Continents Engraving Company;
John Smith, manager.' Next I wrote
this account, 'To Peter Jacob Schmld
theiser, Dr., to cuts for German festi
val, $800.*
"When Schmldthelser received the
bill ho fainted. He revived and sent
for me.
" 'Fer vot Is It you scharge me fer
3er cuts vot I could puy fer 40 cents
iblece, yet?' ho demanded.
" 'That's all right, old .man,' I as
sured him. 'You ml^ht buy those cuts
from anybody else for 40 cents uplece,
jut not of me.'
"He refused to pay the bill, but not
long afterward he was stricken with
leart disease and died, nis executors
'ouud the bill, with its balance of ?70
n my favor. They asked me what I'd
:ako to settle, and I told them $50.
rhey paid It cheerfully, and since then
haven't had any trouble."? San Fran
