Violin Soothes Moose.
Mutual understanding between a
lonely trapper of northern Minnesota
and a bull moose has been effected by
means of the common language of
music, according to Thomas Denley,
chief forest ranger of that district.
Thirty-five miles from the nearest
human habitation in the heart of the
remote Stony river district, lives
Charley Lanie in a trapper’s cain,
Denley relates. Besides being one of
the most successful trappers in the
Minnesota wilderness, Lanie has abil-
ity with a violin bow, and spends many
of his evenings in the lonely woods
playing old songs, favorites of years
ago.
One of Lanie’s most interested list-
eners is a large bull moose which
comes to the river near the cabin and
stands, belly deep in water, while it
lifts its heavily antlered head toward
the cabin and listens to the violin.
When the concert is over he turns and
disappears in the woods.

onions. The latter as a rule cause
more or less profanity. The unfortu-
nate part of the proposition is that
gardening and house cleaning come
about the same time, congesting mat-
ters and causing more or less embar-
rassment to the average housekeeper.
However, such is life.
One of our readers accosted the
writer a few days ago wanting to know
why we could not occasionally have
something to say about the boarding-
house keeper. This is a rather per-
plexing proposition. As I understand
the problem it looks to me as though
the boardinghouse woman stands next
to the mother-in-law as an object of
abuse, and, if her stories are to be
credited, she is deserving of great
pity. Therefore, it is but a christian
act to interpose a word in behalf of
this useful factor in the community.
The boarding-house keeper, as an in-
stitution, belongs to the more advanc-
ed stages of civilization. She is un-
known to the savage, and does not fig-
ure to any great extent in the history
of the middle ages. If she had, the
fall of Rome and the decline of Greece
might have been saddled on her. In
this respect she is more unfortunate
than her co-sufferer, the mother-in-
law, because she has existed as an ob-
ject of abuse ever since polygamy was |
tabooed. Just here a hint may
dropped for the benefit of mothers-in-
law. The polygamous husband who
has a half dozen or more wives, each
blessed with a mother, is the meekest
man in the world. He might be bold
and abuse his wife if there were only
one mother-in-law to face, but when
a half dozen or more loom up before
his mental vision, he concludes that
meekness is more profitable than mas-
tery. This is certainly one of the
strangest arguments in favor of po-
lygamy, especially from a woman’s
standpoint. The modern boarding-
house keeper is a positive necessity of
the times; without her many thous-
ands would be without the comforts
of home. It is true there might be a
great many more homes than there
are, yet thousands of young men, and
old ores, too, would be driven to the
cold confines of bachelor quarters.

tired and worn out in the morning. I
could hardly get to work. There was
a steady, dull ache across my back
and when I stooped or lifted, sharp
catches took me just over my kidneys.
I also had dizzy spells and the action
of my kidneys was irregular. I heard
of Doan’s Kidney Pills helping others
