Tine* your* men from Mllltown, near Calais, went out Into the coun try districts recently to pass the day and left their old horse standing un der the shade of the whispering pln**s while they communed with natuie some little distance away, according to the Kenneftec Journal. They weie startled by the neighing and snort ing of their steed and upon reach ing the spot where the animal wua tied they witnessed nn exciting en counter between a bull moose and the horse. The monarch of tho forest Ju*t happened along and found the hor. e encroaching upon hia domain and very naturally resented the Intrusion. He made a run for the unfortunate steed and a bow-on collision was al most a sure thing, when tho old horse’s fighting blood got up and, Instead of waiting to be rnmmed like a Ashing boat In a fog, be stood up on bis hind legs and caught the bull moosa a swat fair upon the nose with both forefeet. Both animals sat down suddenly to think the matter over, the moose from the surprise of the shock, and the horse because he lost his balance, and it would doubtless have gene hard with the latter, which was Incumbered with the harness and rig ging, had not the young men set upon tic forest king with yells Just as he was about to resume the attack upon his helpless adversary. Any one who remombers the noise which a Mill town man Is capable of making when out for a good time will pardon the moose for hit sudden and undigni fied retreat.

But It Was Not at Homs In the Coun try for Awhile. The kitten lha*. the little city girl had brought back from the country with her last fall had grown to be a big, beautiful cat when the time oame to go to the mountains again, an ho was placed In a basket »*«id carried to the train, the first time binco his baby hood that be had been below the third floor of the apartment house. There was little surprise and a good deal of amusement, therefore, at tbs cat'a ideas of nature, gained, as they had been, by close inspection of Are es capee and adjacent brick walls, with an occasional gllmpie of an asphalt pavement. For the first three or four days It was impossible to keep pussy on the ground floor. It would run to the top of the big farmhouse and peer out of the window whenever It was re leased on the veranda. Gradually, how ever, It became accustomed to life on the ground level, and In a week or ao timidly ventured outdoors by itself. Then it was quickly found that its natural Instincts had not been affect ed by clfy life, for it soon became a terror to song birds, much to the disgust of its little mistress, who is constantly torn with grief between her love for the cat and for tho birdies that fell victims of Its cunning. Now that pussy has taken to sleeping out of doors It Is a serious problem wheth er to bring it back to the city again or not.—New York Globe. I .. Scientist Makes Kisses Sefe.
