AN ELK
In tlie lillie Mc
Earnest Harold Rayne
Personally, I never hunt; my .sym
pathies are Ml with the hunted, and I
prefer to put my energies into the
protection of game rather than into
the destruction of it. Nevertheless,
that I may he able to speak intelli
gently on this Hubject, and as much
from personal experienee aa pussiblc,
I frequently accompany hunters in
their trips afield. Thus it was yester
day I accepted an invitation from a
hunting party to witness an elk hunt
in thc Blue Mountain forest. .
A bull elk in October is one of the
grandest sights of which an Ameri
can forest can boast. As large ns a
horse, and crowned with glorious
antlers, he stalks tho earth like a
king, and, largo as bo is, ho treads
thc ground with a springy step, which
speaks of power and health and vigor.
And his voice is in keeping with his
form and oarriage; clear as a bugle
note it sounds from the hills in tho
carly morning, and again at evening
as tho setting sun lights thc autumn
folioge on the western slopes. Such
was tho animal I had for weeks been
watching as ho followed his band of
20 cows from tho cover of the wood
land, just before sundown, and which
had thrilled mo with his long-drawn
ohallongo in the gray light of tho
dawn; such was tho prize tho hunters
sought to win, when at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon I met them in tho
shadow cf a hunting oamp on the sido
of Croydon mountain.
After the first greetings wo sat in
silence."' Nono knew where tho king
might bc; it was known only that ho
had selected the territory hereabouts
as his domain, and that, if wo wcro
quiet, his shrill buglc-iroto might be
tray him. ? And it did. From far
away on tho hills came tho call, so
faint that but ono member of the
patty heard it. Tho hunters took
their rifles, and, following the guide,
filed down into tho valley, from the
opposito side of wbioh tho faint whis
tle had como.
At the bottom of the valley there
was a long, level streich of grass land,
and heroes this the guide had figured
that the elk would como. From time
to time the great stag called, and each
time the sound grew louder as the
distance botweon us grew aborter.
The guido thought he knew the point
at which the band would Cross the
open, and near this point we hid low
among the dark opruoes. We had not
waited - long wheo a cow elk stepped
cat {rom the woodland and mo*cd
. aarons the grass, but at a point much
f arther sway from us than the guide
had figured OD.
Evidently the band had changed its
direction while still in the woods,
and the distance was considered too
great? tc risk a shot at tho stag when
he should appear. ; It would be
necessary to wait for a better chanco.

HUNT
mntaiii IPorest,
s, in Pittsburg l'ost.
One by one thc doe? filed across thc
streich of gras?, a'id theo, when thc
luBt had gone, we heard thc challenge
of tlie bull, and immediately he strode
into tho open. What a wonderful
creature he wan! There was a sup
pressed "Ah!" from every member of
thc hunting party, for they were
Watching him through C their field
giassos, and prepared as they were
for his grandeur, he surprised them.
When they had gone, Wc arose, and
thc guide lcd us back into thc woods
with rapid, uoisclc33 steps. He
knew the particular feeding ground
the elk would bo most likely to visit
first, and, making a wide detour, wc
followed him towaid another stretch
of grass land, well up on much higher
ground, and perhaps two miles to
thc southward. The wind was in our
favor, or the work of approaching thc
herd would have been much more
difficult. As it was, we hurried
along, just keeping a bright lookout
for a possible stray oow elk, who, if
she should seo us or get our wind,
woold "bark" and thus givo the
alarm, and send every living creature
within hearing to the tall timber at
its fastost pace.
Twice wo carno upon white deor,
but they did not snort-simply th re vf
up their flags and sprang away to tho
woods. As wo neared tho feeding
ground mentioned abovo, wo slowed
down and approached with great eau
j tion. Tho open epaco was bordered
by a mixed growth; spruce and white
birches, and peering between thom we
could got occasional glimpses of cow
elk, showing that the herd was al
ready on tho ground. Tho bull was
not in eight, and any attempt to get
a botter view would probably have re
sulted in some one of tho band catch
ing sight of us. So the guide halted
us until the next bugle noto should
reveal the whereabouts of that whioh
he sought.
It wae sounded at some distance to
the east, and perhaps a quarter of a
mile to the southward of where we
oi??u, and at Guee the guide took up
his work of stalking, with the hunters
following close behind. This was by
far the most interesting part of the
Samo, and was really ezolting, know*
ing, as wo did, that the snap of a twig,
a ohange of the direotion of the wind,
or a failure to keep under cover,
would result in an immediate stam
pede of tho elk. Once we had to
oross an open place and it was neces
sary to lie fiat and wiggle along
through thc graao. Again the guide
stopped and peered warily through
the fringe of trees, and again he
waited for the call of the bull elk, to
guide bim in bis search.
Like the blast of a trumpet it came
from behind a damp of trees to tho
east, and triumphant and defiant aa
it was,I felt that the noble beast WSB
sounding his death knell-that his
honr had oome. The guide orept for
ward, followed closely br tho man
elected to take the first shot, while
the rest of ns drew tiaok to watch
the end without disturbing the game.'
"Crashl" the wind had changed,
and like a charge of cavalry the herd
of elk broke away aoroas the open
and plunged through the fringe of
trees and underbrush by whioh they
I were surrounded * Now, I thought,
the bull will get away, but crouching
low, I saw him standing near a spruce
tree, calmly watohing the departure
of tho cows.. One by one they passed
j him, but not a step would he take un
til the la&t of his band had gone.;.
"Crack!" went the gun of the
hunter, and I hugged myself as I saw
that he had missed it clean. The
great Btag wheeled half around, as if
he wonld have faced his skulking
foo, and as he turned he swung those
glorious antlers whioh in open fight
would have brought him victory over
a score of such puny foss as man. i
Then, with head; erect and striding
with a dignity whioh no ?man could
approach, 'he started, to follow his
band. .
"Crack! crack! oraos!" ' from ae
many highpower rifles, and Otae of the
bullets severing the great brute's
?pine, he fell as if his legs bad, been
mown from under him. . For a mo*
ment those wondrous antlers thrashed
the ground) raising clouds of tinted
autumn leaves, and then he lay still
tho noblest thing in all that country
side. 'Twas brit al minnie between
the lime that ho ?' stood, a wonder

An Envious Woman.
Tho train had pulled out of the ter
miual and the conductor was OD bis
fare-aollectiog tour. ID one car there
eat alone a woman dressed in deep
mourning. When the conductor ap
proached her thc woman burst ?nio
? tears.
[ The conductor anked her what was
the matter. .She sobbed this reply:
.'Ten years ago I took my lirst hus
band over thia, road tobe cremated;
five years agu I took my second hus
band on thc same trip to tho crema
tory arid now 1 am taking my third
husband to he consumed to ashes."
Jubt then there were loud sobs
heard coming from a seat on thc op
posite side of the car. Thc conductor
turned and saw another woman cry
ing. Approaching aoflly, he asked
! the weeping one:
"What is the matter, madam?"
Taking her handkerchief from her
eycfl. the second one in tears answer
ed: "That woman 'na? husbands to
burn, while I oan't get even one."
They Were Impostors.

A beggar io London according to an
exchange, recently accosted a man
and whined, "I'm paralyzed in both
me 'ands, roister, au' can't work, for
I can't grasp anything with 'em.
Could lyon spare me a trifle, mister?"
"I'm deaf," replied the gentleman.
"You'd better write down what you
want to say. Hero's a pencil 'and a
piooe of paper." "Deaf, is 'e?"
thought the beggar. Tben he didn't
'ear about the paralysis." So he
wrote down: "I've a wife and sis
children starvin at homo, an' ham in
a dreadful state of destitution." He
hauded the paper to the man, who
said: "I thought you said you were
paralyzed in both hands and couldn't
grasp anything; and yet you can
write!" "Didn't yer say yer was
doaf?" stammered the beggar. "Yes,
to find out if you were an impostor,
which you aro, as I supposed," re
plied 'the man. "Well, of all the
Moomin' frauds, y'r the biggest!" ex
claimed tho beggar. "The hidea of |
yer sayin' yer was deaf, and tryin' to
impose on a poor feller!" And he
shuffled off sniffing tho air with right
eous indignation. *
What is Electricity V
Well, what ia it? It is scarcely
possible to say. There aro theories
many of them? It is evidently some
thing of whieh we cannot take a part.
We cannot out a piece of it of! and
subjeot it to analysis, nor oan we pour
a little of it into a bottle for future
study and contemplation. It is like
the wind-its effects can be measured;
its force, strength and quantity oan
bow be calculated to a very nice de
gree, S till j to liken it to the wind, it
is a stupendous power, a mighty ty
phoon, blowing, as it were, without
moving, two ways at onee along all
parts of its path, giving off a halo of
magnetism at right angles to that path
everywhere.
One of the nicest theories perhaps
ia .tho one that considers electricity a
"condition" ' of atoms brought about
by chemical action, as in a battery
coll, or by what might be called a
severe irritation of the magnelio halo,
as in a dynamo, and by other means,
such as heat and friction.
' What this condition is, is, beyond
us. It may boa violent rotation or
it may be an squally violent vibration
of atoms, but as no man has seen an
atom st any time not even with the
most powerful microscope, it ?s im
possible to eay. Friction in Some
form or other ia present, aa heat is
produced before burning pr do B tr no

A STORY OF NAPOLEON.
Th? Great Genera! fend tho ?entry Who
Slept on Duty.
There is a well known- picture
which represents Napoleon I. stand
ing on guard on an outpost at night,
with musket at his shoulder, while
i an unfortunate sentinel who has
fallen asleep on his post awakes, sec3
the apparition und gasps, "The em
peror!" This picture has been re
garded as a work of fancy, hui: it
seems that there is some authority
for a story that such an incident
took plucc.
A collection of military notes in
French, called 'Ephemerides Mili*
taires," the publication of which was
begun in 1702 and continued until
1815, relates that on thc night which
followed thc second day of the bat
tle of Areola, in Itaiy, in 179<>, Gen
eral Bonaparte, "indefatigable after
the gr cai cst fatigues, made a tour of
the outposts of his anny. He de
sired to inform himself as to the
vigilance of his men and the move
ments of the enemy.
' "There ho came upon a sentinel
whom the excess of fatigue had ut
terly exhausted and who lay asleep
on the ground. General Bonaparte
possessed himself cautiously of the
man's gun and mounted guard in his
place.
"By and by the soldier, awaken
ing with a start, recognized hie gen
eral in the man who had disarmed
him and cried out:
"1 am lost!?
" 'Reassure thyself/ said Bona
parte to him kindly. 'After such
fatigues os thou hast undergone it
may be pardoned in a brave man to
succumb to sleep, but another time
I advise thee to choose thy oppor
tunity more carefully/ "
If this incident actually happened,
SB may well have been the case, it is
made plain from this contemporary
account that its hero was not yet an
emperor, but simply a general.

A Shoe Tlm< Altered History.
After the fall of Aurie Boleyn th6
pope prepared overtures of reconcilia
tion so favorable to King Henry VIII,
that be determined to accept them. A
representative was sent from Rome
with the dispatches, and when. within
a day's journey from Galala his horse
cast a shoe and. fell lame. As lt was a
favorite, the messenger determined to
walt a day that the poor animal might
rest and recover. Next doy the journey
was resumed, but on the day that Lon
don was. reached Henry had been mar
ried to Jone Seymour, a Protestant,
Anne had been beheaded, und all hope
of reconciliation with the papacy was
at an end. The cast shoe had thus
changed the bent of English church
history.

It ls stated on the authority of offi

troops were both attempting to reach
an eminence the position' of which
practically decided the battle, and the
southern column was blocked by a
balky mule just long enough to enable
the northern troops to gain the emi
nence, and so that balky mule really
decided the battle.
