Aniiiim i) niiiilo no response, but tin fled
silently ut his favorite w. Ho had tin
idea, though, that ho could get twine
milk, but did not mean to toll how.
That uifht. unnoticed, ho k'ft the
camp ubout sunset, walked slowly
through tho woods for about a milo, and
again caino out on tho shore of tho lake
at & point where a small stream formed
an outlet.
This was near tho place where he had
con tho cow inooHO, and hero ho took up
his position beside a trail leading to tho
water's edge, and alontf which ho could
too, if his knowledge of woodcraft did
not deceive liini, that tho moose was in
tho habit of passing.
In this ho was correct, for tho guide
had not been there more than an hour
when ho heard tho sound of souio animal
approaching, and injuring cautiously
through the bushes bo saw a cow moose
making for tho pool.
The animal snllTud tho air a few times
an she passed within a dozen paces of the
hunter, but otherwise sho did not show
signs of alarm. Bho was soon in tho
water ridding herself of tho flies and
quenching lier thirst.
While tho moose was disporting her
elf Annanco left his position behind the
bush and walked a few steps toward
her, and whenever she turned he would
tan4" perfectly motionless.
By repeating this operation several
times, he managed to reach the edge of

twhind tho brush again. At tho edge of
the lake the animal turned to take a
liixt look and shake the snrnv from her
nose. Then she advanced slowly up tho !
loping bank. When opposite the guide
sho sniffed something, stopped and looked
around.
That was the guide's chance, and he ,
knew It,
The critical moment had arrived, and
with one quick but silent movement he
was by the animal's side, Hhe did not
move except to turn her head and look
at him, Annance kept near her hind
otiarters, well knowing that if ho got in
front of the moose he would not stand j
in ucli chance should she Ik-come ugly, j
Cautiously bending forward the hunter
stroked her sides and allowed her to turn
and smell of him, After a few seconds, j
seeing the moose did not appear fright
mod, Annance, with little more difll
culty than is experienced with many do
mestic animals, proceeded to (ill a small
pall he had brought along with rich, yel
low milk. i
Returning to camp, he produced the j
milk when breakfast was ready in the )
morning, having kept tho pail in the
water over night, much to the astonish- (

Tho propriety of endowing daughters
epiienrs to be now seriously discussed in
dilTerent parts of tho cuuntry. Thin
arises partly out of a growing sense of
justice, which, tho philosophers say, Is
tho last sentiment to lo developed in the
cuso of women, and partly out of tho
commercial exigencies which in tho last
twenty years have left stranded so many
women with no means of livelihood,
Tho endowment of daughters would ac
complish several ends. It would emiblo
them to marry the men of their choice,
it would support them if they do not
marry, and in case of commercial disas
ter would furnish ut least temporary
provision for tho family. Tho matter
has progressed until tho methods of en
dowments in different countries are un
der advisement.

tho frugality and self denial tho hum

Editors may find omo consolation in
the fact that they have inspired fix-lings
of envy in tho breasts of a young Japa
nese boy. A recent issue of an East In
dian paper contained tho following notes
"A schoolboy in Locrabaya was asked
to describe an editor of a paper. Ho did
m in thfs way! 'An editor is tho luckiest
man in tho world. Ho can go te a cir
cus every afternoon and every evening
without paying a cent. Ho can go also
to tho court houses, tho places of execu
tion and tho races,
"Ho has free tickets to all (heaters, re
ceives present at bis oflice, and gets hi
ears boxed too, Ho goes also to I'rigon,
Malang or Lawang (place of amuse
ment). He does not do this often, how

The latest enterprise which we hear
announced in tho young and enterpris
ing west is the "Bermon exchange," of
Chicago. According to popular belief
the practice of clergymen has been to
write sermon until they had filled ft
barrel, Then tho barrel would bo turned
upside down and the sermon all
preached over again, Where a minister
remained In a church a great many year
tho congregation would after awhile be
gin to know when the barrel was turned.
Homo sermons were looked forward to
with much interest and ot hers with inih
or less dismay, Tho Kermon exchange
Is to do away with all of this. It Is no
longer necessary to preach a sermon ov-r
a second time. Tho preacher can take
an old sermon and Ho twenty-fivo cent
to it. This he sends to tho exchange and
receives one written by some one else
by return mail, or if be has no sermon to
send he can get one for fifty cents, Bal

There was a time when many of the
rihinnccocks shared in the occupations of
the white people and acquitted them
selves with great credit. I allude to the
whaling -riod In Hoiithampton history,
The Hhinneeock at sea, whether pure
blood or half breed, made an exact sailor.
The discipline of the forecastle was good
for him, at least so long as he was afloat.
Many of them got to le mates, and one
became ft captain. This distinguished
sailor man was not a pure bred Indian,
but was part negro, and probably had a
mail though iotenUal quantity of white
blood. This was Captain Lee, and any
one down toward Southampton or Sag
Harbor can tell of hi giant stature and
immense strength. This Captain Leo
was the son of a still mors famous man,
Parson Lee. John O, Speed in Har

a pujiil of our groat geographer, Dr. Hut

world not on his shoulders, but In hif

as to tho position of this ancient town.'
"I believe, sir," was the prompt reply,
"that modern traveler are of tho opin
ion that the city ought to bo j laced about
ten miles to tho southeast of tho spot
it now occupies on our map,"
After receiving resjx-ctful thanks foi
his information, tho informer told Dean
Hole as they left tho lecture room thai
he had never heard of the venerable city
before, but that for the honor of Shrews
bury and tho reputation of Dr. Hutlei
ho felt himself bound to say something.

Probably tho smallest painting ever
made wus the work of the wife of a
Flemish artist. It depicted a mill with
the sails bent, the miller mounting the
stairs with a sack of gruin on his back.
