Sitting in Thedo Wyniau's store, a little grouf of villagers in Sebec, Me., talked of wolves, now seldom seen iu Maine, but which half a century ago were much in evidence. William Lyford told the story of Seth Brown's chase of two wolves on enowshoes. "You know Seth, " ho said. "One of the smartest and handiest men in his day that ever cut timber trees or drove the Penobscot. Up in the liipogenus re gion one February he was out prospect ing for timber tracts. The snow was deep, with a light crust, just strong enough to hold up a man on snowshoes. Coming upon a little rise of laud in a timber swamp one day, ho saw two wolves a little way ahead of him. The crust would not bear them, and they could only wallow along in the enow. Seth would tackle anything that ever ranged the woods. He bad no gun, but he set out after the wolves with his ax. What did those wolves do but circle round until they got Lack upon Seth's tracks. You know how in light enow the steps of a man in snowshoes will pack down the enow. Once the wolves got to Seth's tracks the slotes(suowsho8 prints) held them up, and they just ran on them in a circle till he gave up the chase. He was so near that he could al most have thrown his ax to them, and be couldn't get a 6tep nearer. Seth said the wolves eat on their haunches and laughed at bim when he had to give up and start along." New York Sun. Too Tonne to Talk So. We have learned to expect it from many of the married women and from some of the bachelor maids. But out of the lips of a mere lassie, gently reared, a girl still living at home with ber mother, skepticism gives one a shock, declares a writer iii the New York Press. A woman of fashion in a checked dress and a great dahlia colored hat, ac companied by a man in modish gar ments, was tripping along Fifth avenue. She was chatting with marked anima tion and he was laughing flatteringly. The attention of the passersby was at tracted by the happy couple. Behind the pair chanced to walk a lassie the one yet living at home with mamma and an older woman, a friend of mamma. The lassie spied the mon daine in checks and dahlia velvet on ahead and puckered her brow, saying: "Oh, I know that woman have seen her often at Newport. She is dreadful rich. Now, I remember. She is Mrs. Morris Blankly." The friend of mamma was interested. She asked : "And is the attentive man with Mrs. Blankly her husband?" The lassie shrugged her shoulders and 6corned the very idea. "Ridiculous," she replied. "You dear, old fashioned thing, don't you know that women's husbands never laugh in that good tempered way when they are with their wives." The Imitative Japanese. A good story is told by St. Barbe cf theimitativenessof the Japanese, which is easily credible, for was it not a Jap anese who when he was told to make a coat to pattern the old one being sent so faithfully did he carry out the or der that a rent and darn in one of the tails was carefully executed in the new garment? "At a certain reception we were ask ed in morning dress, but knowing peo ple were their crush theater hats. When we got down to the gunroom, which was devoted to gentlemen's cloaks, the gentleman immediately before me took oft his theater hat, crushed it against hie breastbone, wrapped it up in his dust cloak and handed it to the Japanese in charge. "I took off my hat and dust cloak and handed them. To my horror the Jap took hold of my hat by the brim and crushed it against his breastbone as he had seen my predecessor do. Unfortu nately that gentleman's hat would not work at first, and he had to use a great deal of force before the springs would fold down. The Japanese therefore saw nothing in my hat's unwillingness to work, but just crushed it and folded my cloak round it. "When I expostulated, he smiled and presented me with a paper flower I suppose as a peace offering. ' A Phillips Crooks Anecdote. At the dinner given in his honor in Philadelphia Dr. McVickar, the bishop coadjutor cf Rhode Island, told this characteristic anecdote of the late Phil lips Brooks: "I remember a few years ago I was traveling with one of the grandest bishops and one of the grand est men of the century. I was saunter ing with bim from church in Lucerne, in Switzerland, and he said something so boyish and fresh, just as he was ever wont to do. I stopped and looked at him and said, 'Brooks, it seems so strange that you should be a bishop. ' He looked at me with almost a startled expression, and he said, 'McVickar. it seems so strange to me that sometimes, when I am putting on my clothes, I have to stop and laugh. It was just he fresh ness of that man which always kept him young, and which, I am sure, you will understand as I give it, for I ven ture to say there has never been such a bishop in our orlany other church." Superfluous. Mra Keeley, the veteran English ac tress, tells an anecdote of a young ac tress who in the play is a boy. She is taken before a judge, who asks sternly, "Now, where are your accomplices?" And the young actress, by a happy thought, improved on the author and answered in artless tone: "I don't wear any. They keep up without. !ti:Try THE NEWS-50c Iloilowav'd bread, the Ie id, is made ter flour. ;-t Off the Karlh. Jur-t as well bo out of tho world as to bo out of fashion is an old and trito saying. It applies aptly in many tilings but in nothing quite so apt as regards one's clothing. One cannot appear well, feel comfortable and look dressy with a suit of clothes on which lite very much like a gunny suck over a fence post. A suit or troupers m&dc by a tailor is a thing of beauty and ex ceeding joy. While they cost a trillo more than a good hand mo down or eastern so-called custom made (in sweat shops) tho .''t is so much more satisfactory and the service so much better that you will always gut better values for your money.
