A MAINE MOOSE STORY. Bill Sutherland, who has been lum bering on Bear Brook, five miles from .he Grant farm, came home Thursday, bringing a thrilling story from the wil der ess of Alex Brown, the famous dry l; nd navigator, and a moose. Every body who has visited Moosehead of Ragged Lakes within the past thirty years knows Alex Brown, the trapper guide and general bushwaeker. Brown has made a special business for some twelve years of trapping sable and otter and once in a while a bear. Every spring when the crews h ave camp the bears usually fall heir t > all the food stuffs lef. behind, and Brawn has made those deserted camps headquarters for some of his traps, bast year he caught three bears in one (. rnp. with one trap; and seven, all told, were his spring work before driv ing. This spring he intended going into the busi ess strong, and last Wednes day he left the Grant farm bound for Greenville to procure two doen traps. He had in mind two dozen camps around Black Brook, Bear Brook and Ragged I,ake—camps enough to make a large circuit, but Alex did not reach Greenville, as he expected, and was brought back to the Grant farm on a cot to regain his lost strength. Alex was tired when he reached Sins’ Hill, and stopped to drink at the little min eral spring under the rock just where the road makes a short turn. Everything was as still as could be. he said, and he was throwing his little bag ovpr his shoulder and shifting his i banco quid to the other side of his mouth, preparatory to resuming his jem cy, when it seemed to him that an avalanche was coming down over the hill, and before his mind had fully come to its usual bent he was confront ed by a moose that had stopped short in a career as swift as a railroad train an.! putting like a steam engine. Alex felt his hair go up and the cool, clammy, chiverv feeling go up his back. He could feel the breath of the monster. The moose at first was eitli t Mirp; iSt'U (lhlUUidUfU at iliarv 1111; so sadden an acquaintance, but when Alex's fear caused him to drop his grip un the new axe handle and the hag fell to tne ground. Mr. Moose made one great spring and Alex “div right 'twixt his legs. Afore he had got time to turn around I fetched a leap and got into a maple sr.plin, and that's where I was when Ed Farrar, the totar, and Sfove McKenna, who keeps the Grant farm, came along with their dog and Mr. Moose went away,” Alex said. Alex was up in the tree eight and thirty hours, and the moose hung close by. When rescued the old hunter's nerves were so shattered that he had to be taken to the Grant farm on a rudely constructed cot. It is rare that a moose will tree a man at this season of the year, but v, hen Alex is fully recovered he will have one more thrilling story in his repertory of thrilling hunting tales.— Lewiston Journal. TWO QUEER WORLDS. Oc-crv ations Which show That Venus and Mercury Arc Half Frozen and Half Baked. The careful observations recently made bv Prof Peroival Lowell, of Harvard, at T.u utaya, Sr. Mexico, prove almost con clusively In the minds of astronomers :h it no human life can exist on \ enus or M, r* iry, or if there are people there that i 'V must be altogether different from those of the earth, and those who are now believed to Inhabit Mars. It has been d' monstrated that these planets rotato oi ly once in the full course of orbital r-volution around the sun. The faces which these planets thus turn toward Che sun enjoy perpetual day, while the further sides are wrapped in rhese planets have, there* f< r ir'ens It. m on or.e side and Intense cold in the other. On 01 «• side Venus is always glowing in the light of the sun. Night or dark are there unknown. A heat far greater than any known on this earth prevails over this half of the planet. On the other side there is perpetual night. No sun ever shines there. The place is covered with ice and snow, and vegetation is unknown. Tin- same conditions prevail on Mer cury. It K therefore, apparent that if tin re are human beings upon these planets th-v must be either a hardened kind of Ksquimos or writable salamanders. Prof. Lowell does not say what is the nature of th neutral zone that intervenes be tween the dark and light sides of these planets. The presumption is that hero, along the edtf.. there mu«t be a territory of some thou«a: ds of miles where there is a kind of twilight un*l where- the intense h- at of one sides fad* s off Into the Intense cold of the other. These conditions would, it is thought, make human life possible in « restricted district, where vegetation might spring up in a ring around the planets.—N* w York Journal. _ ALL HAD MOT HERS" IX* LA \V, And t'»c Accident at the Dentist’s Gave Them Welcome Suggestions. "I seen a mighty queer piece o’ btisi n, when 1 w as in. town.” said Jay Greer., who had just returned from a day’s > courn at the county seat. "I was stand in' in front o' Simpson's store when T h’ ird a sharp report—suthin’ like a shot gun—in the dentist’s office up stairs in the bulldin’ across the way. an’ down the stairs bulged a feller with a big cloth around his neck an* his mouth full o’ cement, a-splutterin' an’ a-goblin’ like all g . whizz. Right after him came the den tist. with his hair an' whiskers singed off. The smoke poured out o’ the win daws an' 1 guess the whole place would have burnt up if the hotfk ar.' ladder company hadr. t come ar. put it out. -What was the matter, anyhow?” asked Eb n Appledry. to whom Jay was relat ing his adventures. "That was what everybody that ran up wantel to know. The dentist explained that after he had tilled the patient full o' j plaster he had started to pm in the time j whil. it was settin’ in experimentin’ with , a set o’ false teeth made of a new compo sition that had been sent him for exam ination. lie went on to say that he had hit > m with a hammer to test their | strength an’ they had exploded like dyna mite. “When the dentist had got this far alone in his explanation the patient man aged to spit out enough of the cemsnt to enable him to ask if teeth made of that material wouldn't be liable to explode and blow their wearer's head off if they were bitten down hard on a bone. The dentist replied that such would probably be the case, and four men in the crowd who overheard him say it hollered out that they'd each take a set o' them explosive teeth as soon as he could furnish them. Ami the man who had the cement in his mouth shouted: " 'Me too! I've pot a mother-in-law myself.’ "—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. -o A NEKVY DOCTOR. I He Elopes With Ills Pretty Patient and Startles Her Objecting Papa. The old gentleman was ar.gry. That was evident. “When it comes to nerve." he said, "that young Dr. Kinecn beats anything that ever came down the boulevard.” "What has he done?” asked the old lady, anxiously. “I had a suspicion all along that Mabel got up those headaches purposely to have him called to attend her.” explained the old gentleman, "and now—” "He hasn’t eloped with her, has he?” “That's just what he has done,” an swered th<> old gentleman, hotly. "And that isn't the worst of it, either. "Here's a note announcing that they're married and a Dill for professional services that shows that he has charged up every min ute that he devoted to inducing her to run away with him. It'e a mighty lucky thing that he didn’t call on me to ask my consent or he'd probably have an item in there of $r,00 for pulling my hg."—Chi cago Post. SHE WAS ACCOMMODATED. The vounglady in the sable cloak rushed into the telegraph office and rapped sharply on the counter with the inkstand. The clerk came forward to see what she wanted this time. "Oh," she said, “let me have that telegram I wrote about fifteen minutes ago: I forgot something important. I wanted to underscore the words ‘per fectly lovely* in acknowledging the re ceipt of the bracelet. Will it cost any thing extra?" "No. ma’am.’’ said the clerk, as he handed her the message. The young lady drew two heavy lines beneath the words, and said: ‘‘It's awfully good of you to let me do that. It will please Charlie so much.” "Don’t mention it," said the clerk. "If you would like. I will put a few drops of nice violet extract on the tele gram at the same rates." 1 "Oh. thank you. sir. You don't know how much I would appreciate it. I’m going to send oil my telegrams through this office, you are so obliging.” And the smile she gave him would have done anvone good to have seen, with the possible exception of Charlie. —Detroit Free Press. —— -O LEAD TRUST DIVIDEND.
