"I read about Mrs, Lewis killing the
two backs In the Aillrondacks, and about
Mrs. Becky Latimer's deer limiting ex
Molts in Pennsylvania," aald ft New
Yorker who has been hunting up in
Maine, "and now I would like to rend
about the way some women up in the
pine forests have of showing their grit
And skill when it comes to dealing with
certain wild animals.
"A family named McDonald lives way
back in the wilderness of the Molus
river. It consists of the husband, Rod
erick McDonald, his wlfo and his sister,
both young women. They hnvo a snug
little farm in there, and keep a few cat
tle, Their most valuable possession in
that line was a yoko of steers. One day
McDonald was obliged to go to one of
the settlements several miles away, and
his business was to keep him over night.
Ills wife and sister were left alono to
look after things during Ills absence.
Just before dark n great bellowing was
heard among the cattle in the barnyard.
Tho sounds were of such an unusual
character that the two women becanio
satisfied that they were cries of terror,
Mrs, MoDonald, armed with n pitchfork,
and her Bister, carrying an ax, hnrrlod
to the barnyard.
"There they found an enormous bear,
standing defiantly between the prostrate
bodies of tho two steers, each of which
ho had felled to the ground and killed.
Tho other cattle were huddled in terror
in a corner of the yard. The bear
growled and snarled and showed his
teeth as the women approached, but, In
spite of his terrible front and threaten
ing attitude, the sight of tho steers lying
dead on the ground was more than the
plucky young women could stand, and
they rushed with desperate intent on the
snarling bear,
TIIEY KILLED TIUS HEAR.
"Mrs. McDonald charged with her
pitchfork and thrust Its sharp, long tines
deep Into the bear's neck. The bear
gave a howl of pain, and striking tho
handle of the pitchfork a powerful blow
with one forepaw he wrenched it from
Mrs. McDonald's hands and sent It fly
fng across tho barnyard. While the bear
was doing that Miss McDonald pitched
into him with the ax, and at tho first
blow disabled one of his terrible forelegs.
The bear turned on her and she rained
blows thick and fast upon him as she
backed slowly away. Mrs. McDonald
?;ulckly regained possession of the pitch
ork and renewed her attack on the bear.
"Between the attacks of the two de
termined and plucky women the bear
was so badly harassed that he made an
effort to escape from the field, but the
women pressed him too clossly. The
battle was not of long duration, for the
lusty blows of the axe In the girl's hands
and the deep and patnfnl stabs inflicted
by Mrs. MoDonald with her pitchfork
soon had their effect on the Dear, big
ncd tough as he was, and in Un minutes
after the fight began he was stretched
dead by the side of his victims, the two
steers. The two nervy women had their
clotting nearly stripped from thorn by
the claws of the bear, but beyond a few
scratcnes tbey were not injured.
"They were not on the scene in time
to cave the valusd Bteers, but their pluck
in avenging the death of tho cattle
aroused so much cnthnslasm and ad-
miration at the settlement that a purso
was raised among the lumbermen and
hunters, with which another yoke of
steers was bought and presented to Mrs,
McDonald and her brave little sister.
AJtOTIIEIl WOUAK'g BEAU.
"In that same Molus river wilderness.
but nearer the headwaters, lives during
the summer and sometimes as late as the
middle of November, if the weather is
not too severe, a family named Baker,
They are Boston people, but on account
of the health of one of the family, who
is benefited by the spruce and plno air of
tho region, they spend m06t of tho year
in their commodious cabin in the Molus
woods.
"Baker's wife is a pretty woman of
about thirty, and Has learned to Dandle
the rifle like an old woodsman, She in
sisted on making one of a party that had
formed to rout out and kill a big bear
that had been located In a swamp a mile
or so from the cabin, She was stationed
by tho guide at a spot where In his Judg
ment the bear would not be likely to
come ont when the dogs got after him,
as he had no faith In A woman's ability
to stand and shoot at a bear as It
bounced into sight out of a thicket,
"Bis Judgment was right, for when
the dogs got on the track of the bear
Mrs. Baker heard them taklm? a course
that would fetch bruin out of the swamp
at a place where she would be unable to
see it or get a shot. But she wasn't there
to be fooled, and she started on a run
for the spot where the bsar was evidently
headed for, and she got there beforo any
one else did. The bear, a tremendous
big fellow, as black as ink, broke through
the thick brush on theedge of the swamp.
and was putting in his best licks across
the opening for cover on the other side.
But he never reached cover. Mrs. Baker
put one rifle ball close behind his left
shoulder and another through, bis loins.
When the guide, Mr. Baker and another
member of the party came tearing to
the spot, Mrs, Baker was sitting on the
carcass of the bear as cool as a oneunv
ber, and with mock disgust exclaimed:
" 'You're n nice lot of hunters. I de
clare! If It hadn't been for me this
bear wonld have been a mile away in
the woods before you stupid things knew
what had become of It!"' New York

THE ROOMS OF A QUEEN.
GRAND AND GORGEOUS, BUT EX
CEEDINGLY UNHOMELIKE.
Victoria's llace ralace In Yflndeor and
How the Dreary Watte ol Stately ltonm
After ltoom Impressed an Atnerloun
Woman Who Visited It.
The Scotch moors, as I saw them in
Jnly, are already fading in my memory
into a soft harmonious mingling of rus
set and green, for the heather was not
yet purplei but the sun caught the sproy
of a mountain rivulet tumbling on its
rooky way, or turnod more vivid the in
tense green of those patches of verdure
in the midst ol the brown of the heather,
which we think seem so unnatural when
artists who paint in the highlands trans
fer them to canvas, llicso lilgn lights
stay by one when tho hills and all tho
ordinary features of that charming Scot
land melt Into the dimmest or memories.
One of these summer's high lights was
a visit to tho queen's private apartments
at Windsor. I don t know what red tape
and long waiting and diplomatic refer
ence it took to get the permit. I only
know that the thoughtful American girl
who remembered mo and made me one
of the four who were to invade the
eacred precincts conferred much pleasure
on me, and even though we were all 60
disappointed In what we saw, it was hu
man, was it not, to be delighted to go
where few enter?
Wo looked upon the herd of common
ers who filed by us in tho wake of the
cicerone, who overy hour takes throngs
of sightseers through the main part of
Windsor castle. Their nanus were red
with Baedekeft, but we loftily ignored
guidebooks for one day.
There were but three nigh lights there
to remember. One was General Gor
don's Bible, beforo which I could have
knelt, for it was tho well worn book of a
soldier who took it into tho tented field
as his companion.
There is no mistaking n book that has
been read, the very way It lies open, the
invisible marks of reverential fingers,
the color of tho paper which the open air
produces.
It disturbed me to see it In a hideous
little glass casket all ornamentation and
filigree. Very fine in its way, I suppose,
and taking many pounds out of the
hero's sister's pocket, who gave it to the
aueen, but so inappropriate to tho dim
pie life of that heroic soul, that martyr
to the mistakes or his country.
TWO MARBLE STATUES.
The second high light in tho aucen's
own domicile was the view from tho
state drawing room windows of the
avenue stretching miles and miles away.
It was sunny and bright, for some far
back English sovereign or his wise gar
dener had, perhaps, evidently believed
that with all bis possessions there was
nothing quite equal to the God given one
or sunshine, ana so there was a wide
strip of the greenest turf In tho world on
either side of the drive. There were no
parterres, no fountains or statues, Blm
ply this brood open spnee, where her
majesty couici wain or drive ror miles,
hidden by the forest trees on either side
from the staring eyes of the public.
The third high light in those drearily
magnificent palace corridors was tho life
are modeling or tbequoen and the prince
consort, made since his death. The
marble was scarcely pure enough to
represent as perfect an ideal of wifely
love as any sculptor is ever likely to
give. The queen s face turned toward
htr husband reveals the utmost devotion,
the most tender entreaty, as she leans
against him imploring him not to leave
her. Whoever has not understood wifely
adoration before must go away from
this exaulslta exemplification of It with
a new Knowledge or what us possibilities
are. i ao not even snow lr it is good
modeling, I only know that, intract
able, cold and inexpressive as marble
is supposed to ue, it epeaics in the race
and attitude of the queen as no painting
I remember to have seen.
I wish I could feel such genuine ad
miration of the prince, but he is so Eng-
11th, so handsome, so far away. Ills
head is turned quite from his wife, and
as she clings to him he coldly points to
distant lands.
NO TRACE Or HOME.
There was nothing else In these gor
geous rooms that stays by me. There
seemed to mo miles of corridors, draw
ing rooms, little and big; dining rooms
and boudoirs, all glitter and glow. Tho
usual gilt and ormolu, marblo and onyx,
gloss of satin and rich stuffs, tho dazzle
of luminous glass, pervaded the entire
suites of apartments. We kept looking
ror some room wnero thero might bo a
trace ot homeliness.
We lonucd to see a workbasket, even
it her majesty doesn't do needlework,
and a sitting room where thero might be
an ordinary writing desk, a bookcase
with some well thumbed volumes or a
chair an American rocking chair even,
in which a loving woman had rocked
her babies to sleep.
The floors were closed on the queen s
and prince consort's bedroom, but in
genious inquiries causea tne oia house
keeper to give up their secrets'. Thero
was no difference. They lived in there
in state, and I began to think my child

The Evolution of the 8ml.
As men in early times f oncht hand to
hand, the oldest specimens ot tho sword
are snort: In fact, the sword Is probably
hot an evolution ot the club, which at
first made of hard wood was gradually
enarpenea on one ana then on both sides,
so as to mulct a more deadly wound
Even today we find some savage races
employing wooden weapons. Wood
gave way to stone, which in turn was
displaced by bronie, iron and finally
steel.
The sword increased in length as men
became more civilized and showed a dis
position to fight farther away from each
other, which required more dexterity in
tne use of tne weapon, borne specimens
we have of swords of the Middle Ages are

However, hla brothers were as asslduooa

happened, the latter had engagements
ont that evening;, and, as Mrs. A. had
promised Mian B, to linve one ot her ions
take her to the theater, it fell to the lot
of my friend George, the Ilarrafd man.
He accepted tho sanation RracefHlly,
and In due limo tho young couple set oft
for the theatre. Arriving, ueorgo left
his companion at one bide of the lobby
while he stepped up to the box offlco and
purchased the tickets; then, tnrnlng
abont, he looked toward the place where
he had patted from tho young lady, and
was surprised to eee half n dozen there.
and ye Rods! la it possible? he could
not tell which was his precious charge!
Horo was n dilemma.
George said he immediately decided
that, rather than risk speaking to the
wrong person, ho wonld stand still till
the young lady spoke to him, So ho
gated at hie tickets for what seemed to
him an ugo, but was probably only a
minute, when MIrs B. came up and said,

A Storj from the American Indian.
Many years nzo a boy found a beauti
ful snako, bo nn Indian logend runs. He
kopt It ln a bowl ot wator and took no
tice that email feathers dropped into tho
receptacle became) living beings. lie
experimented nnd discovered that what
ever be put into tho water became alive.
He rubbed eomo of this mako water on
his eyea and found that ho could eee
things that wero actnally hidden in the
ground. Concluding that be would
mako tho liquid more powerful by put
ting inoro snakes into it, he hnng upn
number of serpents ao thnt their oil
dropped into the water. Dy putting
some of the solution thus obtained into
his mouth he could breathe Ore, and by
placing some of It in his eyes he could
boo in tho dark.
At will he could transform himself
into a serpent, could become invisible
and could travel at an Incredible rate of
spaed. An nrrow dipped into the liquid
nnd shot at any Hying being, even If It
did not kit its object, would neverthe
less kill It. A feather dipped Into this
snuke water and pointed at any game
would Immediately start for the latter
and slay it. This boy became ln this
manner a great wiaard. Washington

Inexperienced amateur as n star. Uon
alder, ladles and gentlemen, what a poor,
miserable art that of acting would be if
anybody could acquire It in a few lea
soon, ln a year or so, from a private box
acroai the footlights fo the center or the
ttaee. It takes a longer time to learn to
be a enrponter or to play a piano, to be
a dressmaker or to paint a picture, to bo
a typewriter or to cut hair properly,
than amateurs who are now willing to
bestow upon the art which includes, em'
ploys and dignities all other arts from
statuesque posing to wig wearing. If
acting oould be tanght in a day it would
not bo bo well paid nor so highly esteem
