It was a most exciting letter. Mam ma ra i it aloud to I'dpline and me at tbe break fit table, and we looked at one another in amazement over iu most important pirt, the jostscript. "Yea kn.iw my gir's Lave been riding a tricycle r.r e-?iue time," Aunt Marga ret had w ri:.en. "They have bad one with sti at'ju.bmet:t, so that it can be used by ou-3 jraon or aa a tandem that is, used by two riders. Lately, however, they have been teasing for a new tan dem, with certain improvements about about ibkh I don't in the least under stand and I have bought it oa condi tion that they give tbe old one to your girls. As you have no horse I know they will enjoy it exceedingly." "Did yen ever hear cf anything so charming?" cried Daphne, clasping her ban da. ' I don't know, dears," said Mamma, more doubifully. ! should be very sor ry to hav you undertake anything that mijjbt be considered peculiar or unlady- l.ke." "And Margaret lets her girls ride!" Ye3, but they are rear tbe ii:r, where the fashion is beginning to spread. I don't see, for my own part, why you shouldn't do it, even if you are hooted ; bu:, girls, I can't help thinking of Uncle Melcher." to did we think of him; we thought and t-poke of him too often for our peace of mind. Uncle Mel was rich and we were very poor. Moreover the time bad cj'ne when we wanted togoawayto school. Mamma had always taught ns that it was a mis lake to suppose the world owed us a living. "Yoa have no right to your ancle's money simply because he has a great deal and yoa have none," 6be said. "Eat if be would lend yoa a sum 11 sum for a beginning, I think you could work your way at Ellsworth Scraiaary. You would plec'je yourselves to repay it with interest when you are old enough to sup port yourselves, and thocueh he would be Ukicg a risk, we should ail try to make that risk as small aa possible." Eut hen the 6cheme was proposed to Uncle Mel he vttoed it at once and with tbe utmost vigor. "Go away to school 1" cried he. "What for? My mother never studied beyond long division, nor yet my grandmother, and they were good housekeepers and excellent women. You be good, sensi ble girls and learn to make bread and darn s locking's, and when I'm done nith uiy money yoa shall have it ail. Mamma, after a night's consideration, gave her formal sanction to the tricycle, which arrived a day or two Later. "Hut I Lcpe," she said, doubtfully, as she examined its shinning wheels and springy seats "I do Lope yoa won't Irj to ride fast. Perhaps yoa can be more ladylike about it if yoa go slowly." Such a time as we had in getting start ed to ridf at all 1 Fin-t we made over some old dresses, lerthening the skirts and relieving them of superfluous trim ming, which might get caught in the wheels. Then we learned how to oil the machine, and finally to manage it. The cousins bad written that, with its fourth wheel behind, it was a clumsy affair compared, ith tbe new three- battler ; but we, who were used to no lighter means of transportation than the family wheelbarrow, were mote than satisfied with our new steed. One June afternoon, after a longer ride than usual, we found ourselves near the little croES road where Uncle Meicher lived. A year before, after qnirreling with the village authorities, be had taken up Lis abode there, with the pleasing consciousness that he had withdrawn as far as possible from the Uxtal civilization. It was a dreary place, but Uncle Mel liked it, acd Mrs. Simmons, his old Lousetcppcr, tolerated what he chose. "Made," said Daphne, putting on the brake as we reached the cross road "let's go and call on Uncle MeL It's only two miles further." "I wouldn't for worlds!" said L "Ei U sure to scold us for riding Pejy." "Well, we can't help that. He knows by this time that we Lave the machine, and he might as well see it. Come, and have it .over. O, Madge, before I'd be afraid!" For an answer I put my feet down on tbe pedals, and started Fegxy onward. Girls don't like to be dared anymore than boys do. "I'll go," said I, "but we must Lurry, for it's getting late." We turned into tbe narrow road and in due time we reached tbe house. Un cle Mel was sitting on the pixa read ing a newspaper, but after a long; steady look at us he got up and cut indoors. We bad gone too far to retreat and so we alighted and walked op to the boose. "Tell them not to bring that thing s foot nearer," came Uncle Mel's voice from the sitting room. "If they've s mind to come in here like decent girls they're welcome, bat I wont have any crazy Jane's riding bicycles np to my door. Just then Mrs. Simmons appeared in. the entry. She was evidently glad we had beard the message and that she need not repeat iL "Yoa jes roll it backs mite," she whispered. "Yoa know your uncle's leetle sot." So we meekly trundled poor Peggy be hind the big syringa bosh and then walked into the boose with as much com posure as we could summon. Uncle Mel was sitting in the great chair, dramming with his fingers on the Some SOMERSET, PA., table. That was s signal we knew well it meant "danger." Just then dear, comforting Mrs. Sim mons reappeared. "There's some bread and milk'onthe kitchen .table," sbe said in Ler mildest tone, and strove to draw us oat of the room without attracting bis attention. That was impossible. "You're welcome to the bread and milk," be said, "but you ain't welcome to make my bouse a ready voo for such goin's on. Now, yoa hear me once for ail ; don't you bring that thing within a mile of me again while you have it." "No, sir," said I, meekly, and we hast ened out after Mrs. Simmons. Even she had a word of disapprovaL "Sems's if yoa might ha' known how he'd take it," she remarked as we began to drown care in the flowing bowl of milk. "Don't yoa get lonesome here?" I in quired. For it seemed desirable to change the subject of conversation. "Lonesome! 1 guess I do. Your na- cl seems possessed Jo get away frota folks.. We ain't got no neighbors except them shiflcss Durrages, a mile away, an' they ain't no use to us. We're both on us too old to walk a mile, if 'twas to see the IresideuL "Why don t uncle ktep a horse?" said Daphne. " Tain't likely he could do that 'thout a hired man to harness up," said Mrs. Simmons. ''Even the cow's too much for him sometimes. It beats me to think what he'd do if one or both on us should be sick at night, with no hoes, an' no mac, an' tbe doctor eight miles away." At that moment we started and looked at oue another. Apparently we bad all heard the same thing, a faint "Hallo ! hallo! Again it was repeated and then Mrs. Simmons started to her feet. "You mark my words, your uncle's clim the mow for eggs and fell !" she cried, as she hurried to the door. "Run, girls, run to the barn ! You're spryer'n It." We gathered up our long skirts and ran. as we neare J tne Dam tne cries De- came more distinct, and when we enter ed the great door there lay Uncle Mel on hU back, trying in vaia to raise himself from the pile of rubbish on which be had fallen. 'Are yoa all deaf?" he aked as we Lurried op to him. "I've hollered my self hoarse. Now don't go to acting like a hen with her head cut ol," be added, as Mrs. Simmoas appeared on the scene. I've broken every bone in my body, and if you women go to draggin' me around, you'll break the rest. Girls, yoa jest run down to Barrage's an' tell Eph an' Sam to come an' Hit me up. And tell 'em to send somebody else for the doctor. I've got to lay here." "Come, Madge !" said Daphne, taking me by the arm. "I know where the Barrages live. H urry !" Le ran int j the house for our bats and gloves, and by the time I reached her she Has wheeling Peggy out from the syringa bush. "Jump en'." she cried. "Nevermind your gloves. Put your best foot fore most." We rolled out of the yard and down the dusty road. We found that Mrs. Simmon's mile was a Song one, but not many minutes had passed when, dry-lippe-I and pant ing, we rode into the Burrages's yard, w here a man was pumping water. "Uncle Melcher has L.i!eu in the barn nd hurt himself," began D.iphne. "Will you and your brother go and help him up? And mill you please give us some water?" lie slowly filled the rusty dipper and pabed it to us. ' She !" said be. "iestwhat I expect ed. What's the old manaut to go ciimbin' 'round for, anyway ?" "Will you go now?" insisted Daphne He may be dying." "Oh, yes ; I'll call Eph, and we'll fetch up there in the course o' iifteen minutes. But w hat under the canopy do yoa call that thing you're ridin' on ?" It's a tricycle," said I. "Have yoa a bcrse to go for the doctor ?" "No, I ain't, but" Tae-peJals began to turn, and so did Pegy ; I knew what Daphne Lad decid ed, and I was ready to do my part. . Out of the yard we went, and on until we reached a trim little; cottage by the road. "H?j yo it father a hor3 ?" called Daphne to a bareheaded and barefooted boy who sat on a fence, gazing at as in what we hoped was admiring awe. "Yep." "Is he at home the Lorse, I mean." "No, be ain't." On we went without another word. At the next Loose there was a horse feeding at s neighboring orchard. Daphne gave it one glance. "Madge," said she, "I could run faster than that berebent-s. Are you god for six miles more ?" ' Far twenty V I cried, with snore xeal than accuracy. As to the work that followed I can still declare that I never kaew anything so wildly exhilarating. Our breath came Cist and cor checks were burning, but ws gained on time and annihilated dis tance. Two more triumphant girls could scarce ly have been found that day than we, as we rode op to Dr. Miller's bouse and certainly no hearts ever sank lower than ours when we were told that the doctor bad driven away five minutes before. "He took the road to Greensboro," Eaid pretty Mrs, Miller, "but I am almost sore he meant to stop at Mrs. Moore's cottage, about a mile and a balf from here." Away we toiled, working almoit against hope, for the Greensboro road was terri bly sandy. I heard nothing and saw nothing ; I only breathed and struggled. "Hurrah !" cried Daphne, at last. "There's the house and there's the doc tor!" But alas for us ! He bad just put the weight in tbe carriage and was preparing to step in after it. Foot power was no longer of one, and we lifted op our voices and shrieked. Doctor!" we called, "Doctor! wait! wait!" He paused, be looked, and the day was won. Well, it you're not two crazy girls !" be began as we rode Tip to him ; bat s glance at our faces most have shown him that no spirit of fun had prompted our chase. "Caa yoa got-j Uncle, Jlelcher'a?" I EST A "RTiTS H KD 1827. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 0, 1892. asked with what breath I had left He broken every bone in bis body." Then Daphne took op the tale, and aftar a brief explanation the doctor turn ed bis horse about. "Now yoa girls have had exercise enough for one day," said he, "and I shall stop and tell my wife that you'll spend the night with as. Then, after Iveseen your nncle, I'll drive around and explain everything to your mother. Good-by." "Shall we?" asked Daphne, when he bad gone. "We must or lie down and cover our selves with leaves. I don't believe I could ride five miles more to save the nation." Then we toiled back through the sand to the doctor's bouse and sweet Mrs. Miller gave as a royal welcome. When the doctor came home be brought the news that Uncle Mel had broken a leg and that mamma bad been sent for to nurse bim. And yoa are to pack np your clothes and ark one of the neighbors to take yoa over there, also," be eaid, adding with s demure twinkle of the eye: "Though whst your mother wants yoa for I can't imagine, anle4 it's to ride on errands and chase inoffensive doctors about town." Uncle Mell was ill for many a long week and we bad a dull and quiet time in taking care of Lim. One day in Au gust, aa Mamma was sitting with him, be said : "Call in them girls!" We appeared, a Little doubtful of our reception. "The doctor said if it hadn't have been for your riding on that that thing I should have been wuss otTn I was," he began, ab-nptly. "Where is it?" "At home, ancle," said I. "Yoa told as it was not to come within a mile of this" "There, don't twit," said he. "Do yoa wact to go to school V "Oh, uncle!" "Now, don't "Oh nncle' me ! I'm going to turn your mother out of her house and live there myself. I'm too old to be so fur away from neighbors." This looked serious. Poor as the house was we had as yet no other shelter. "I've took a place in Ellsworth," he went on, "and I'm to let your mother iive there, and board you while yoa go to the seminary. Now, don't act so ehal ler. Y'ou tire me all out." For Daphne bad dared what no one else bad probably done during the last fifty years she Lad kissed Uncle Melcher and Uncle Melcher looked as if he Actu ally enjoyed it. Two Extremes. I'm so hungry," hoarsely whispered a Large, well dressed man in my ear. No, it wasn't the plea of a street beggar but the sad wail of a rich and popular club man, at that moment busily engaged in holding down one of the blue plush sofas at the Fifth avenue. Weighing about 300, pounds the club man was admirably adapted to that line of busi ness. I'm hungry all the lime. I dare not cat. I am dieting myself to get rid of some of this flesh. Every mouthful of meat or drink seems to make a pound of adipose tissue. I work with tbe clubs and bells and eat so little I'm half starv ed. Y, sir; starved 1 Y'ou think that's lanny, don't you, but it isn't. It may be eay for a run without money or tas'.es, who sleeps in the park, but toa man like me it's terrible ! terrible ! But I lost three pounds last week," he added, brighten ing up a bit, "and I hope to pull oil five this week." While the unfortunate man was talk ing and moaning I was not smiling at him. I was thinking ot a clever and pretty young lady who bad a similar grievance and who that every day bad tremblingly faltered in my other ear : "Do you think I'm any thinner than I was last Thursday ! Honeet, now, am I growing thinner ! I weigh only 123 pounds to-day ; a month ago I weighed 120. Aw fil, isn't it !" I admitted that it might be awful, but at the terrible rate of falling ofT given she couldn't Lave lost more than three ounces since I saw her last, and this was quite imperceptible. "Now you're making fun cf me," said she. "It's too serious. I'm sr'-tlna to be nothing but skin and bones! Every thing I eat and drink makes me thinner. Everybody says I look badly, and I know I'm just wasting away !" I must introduce these two unhappy people and let theai talk it over. A'. 1". IltralJ. Catarrh, Not Local, But Consti tutional. Dr. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston physician, in a magazine article says : "A radical error underlies nearly all med ical treatment of catarrh. It is not a dis ease of the man's ci.se; it is a disease of the man, showing itself in the nose A local exhibition of a constitutional trou ble." Therefore, be argues, the use of snutT and other local applications is wrong, and hi!e they seem to give tem porary relief, they really do more barm than good. Other leading authorities agree with Dr. Lewis. Hence, the only proper method of cure for catarrh is by taking a constitutional remedy like Hood's Saraapa - ilia, which, reaching ev ery part of the body through the blood, does eliminate all impurities and makes the whole man healthier. It removes the cause of the trouble and restores the diseased membrane to proper condition. That this is the practical result is proven by thousonds of people who have been cored of catarrh by taking Hood's Sarsa parilla. Cherry and mahogany furniture can be cleaned in tbe following way to lock al most like new: Dissolve a small lump of common ; wishing sod In some very hot .water. Wash only small portion of the wood at a time with bit of flan nel dipped in the soda water and dry it with another piece of flannel, rubbing until it is highly polished. A dentist tried bis first operation with gas upon robust colored woman, tbe other day. After sbe had used np all of the gas in the office, she wheeled in tbe chir nd shouted: "Harry np and bring on another keg of that sweetened wind!" Disease from Diseasde Fodder. It is a serious mistake to feed fodder that has been damaged by rain and wet weather to animals without first dusting it out to dry. The injurious effect which such food has upon stock more than equals the entire loss- of all the fodder gathered. Such fodder is gathered from marshy Lands and meadows that have been inundated during the snowing time. Sedje hay or common upland bay that has been wet at the time of mowing will be impregnated with disease germs that will be communicated to the animals that eat the hay. Stock of very robust nature will find their health seriously impaired if fed regularly upon such fod der. A great deal of oar sedge bay must be cut and gathered when the feet of the plants are weL During many seasons the .meadows never get dry enough to allow dry harvest. This hay is gener ally stacked for fodder in the barnyard, aud in a very few weeks mold and rot show themselves necr the bottom and around the sides. If this decomposition goes on long enough the stock will refuse to eat it, and as rule nearly oae-thirdof tbe stack is a sheer waste. The storms of Winter only aggravate the matter and make the bay ioorer thaa la the Fall. It is cheap fodder, however, and proba bly the manure which it forms eventual ly pays for tbe work of gathering iL Otherwise the great loss would make it unprofitable lo cut salt bay. All fodder thus stacked when it is wet, whether it is salt hay, fresh upland hay, cornfodder or any plant growth, will con tain disease germs which, under favora ble circumstances will develop rapidly. The heat of the stack and the constant moisture are just the conditions that are needed to develop fun&L The color of tbe fodder changes gradually, and tLe odor that ari-vs from it whea moved is strong and disagreeable. If such damaged fodder is to be given to stock the ration of each day should be hauled out of the stack and shaken cp so thoroughly that the wind will dry it and all odor will be destroyed. In this way tbe wind and sua will dry it, and make it safer for food for tbe stock. Af ter it has U-en dried it will be well to muisten it a little with a weak salt or acid solution. This not only destoys dis ease germs, but makes the fod ler more palatable fur the animals. Grains are often damaged in the same way, and fed in mouldy condition to the animals. There is just ta much danger in the grain as in the fodder ra tion. Damage. 1 grain is often bought by farmers for cheaper rates, and stock is kept upon them right along. They will not be so cheap as the pure grains if it is goinj to injure the health of animals. Nevertheless all dangvr can be avoided by dusting the grain o'.it wetl and moist ening it with the weak solutions men tioned. In this country and abroad it is quite a common thin-; to feed wet, dam aged fodder to animals regardless of con sequences, bat for ail such carelessness there is strict payment to be made to na ture.

One day an old lady ha 1 caue to se verely reprimand one of her maids for a breach of the "follower" ordinance. This so irritated the girl that, as a wind up to the recital of her wrongs in the bearing of her fellow servants and Follv, whe happened to be with them, she exclaim ed passionately : "I wish the old lady was dead." The parrot lost co time in showing oir its newly acquired knowl edge when next taken into the drawing room to tbe alarm of its elderly mistress. She at once consulted the vicar, who kindly volunteered to allow his own par rot, which could almost preach short sermon, sing psa'res, etc., to be kept for a short time with the impious one. To this end they were kept toeether ia a small room for a few days, when the lady paid them a vUit ia company with her spiritual adviser. To their intense hor ror immediately whea the door was open ed the lady's parrot saluted them with the ominious phrase: "I wish the old la dy was dead !" the vicar's bird respond ing, with all the solemnity of an old par ish clerk,"Tue Lird hear our prayer." Double Postal Cards. The new return postal card, the design of which was so lately approved by Post master General .Wanatnaker, is out. There are two forras'of the card, one for domestic and the other for the Interna tional Poetal Union service. Tbe double card, as it appears upon, purchase, con sists, on the face of the message card, which is much similar to an ordinary postal, above which is the Ib'.snk or re verse side of the return card, separated from the other balf by slight line of perforation, so that upon tending the half it will not easily become detached. The message card.is 3 inches wids by 5i inches long. At the top of the card to the left of the.vignette of General Grant, in the right hand.. corner, are engraved with black ink in three lines one above the other the words, "Postal Car l with Paid Reply." "United States of Ameri ca," and in small type, "This side is for the address only." Inscribed around the top of the vignette of General Grant is the legend, "Message Card," and below, "One CcnL" In the lower left hand corner are the words: "Detach annexed card for an swer." The face of the return card is similar to the message card, save the words, "Reply Tosta! Card," are substitu ted for "Fostal Card with Paid Ep!y." The price of the card is two cents. The international card is somewhat smaller than that for domestic use, but is like it in arrangement and all essential particu lars, save that liberty head with the legend, "Two cents," is substituted for General Grant's vignette. eral JL -L DIANA OF CONNECTICUT. Lena Beeman, the Crow Hill Coon Hunter. A queer girl lives on Crow bill, in the western part cfConnecticuL She has s paceion for coon bunting, and her success in this line has won for her s reputation that extends beyond the borders of her state. She is young girl. She was l'i years old Last month, but she is an in trepid banter, and, in company with her dogs, she scours the wootls and awamps around Crow bill between the daylight hours as fearlessly as any of the hunte.-s in that locality. Her dogs are especially trained for the work of hunting coons. There are two of them, and Miss Beeman that is the name of the huntress rais ed them from puppyhood and trained them for the work in which they exceL She calls them Riu!e acd Dazzle, and when they get after a coon they lead him a merry waltz. Lena Iierau began coon bunting whea she was Vi years old. Her father, who is fariatir. complained that fall tnat coens were playing havoc ia his corn fields. Lena heard the complaint, and one nuht she left the house without the knowledge of her parents, and, in company with her two dog, which were then young and injxperienced, she went into the woods. Back of Crow hill is dense swamp that covers wide area. In this swamp Lena and Ler dogs spent the night bunting coons. There was a late moon and the light of helped the girl out considerably. Though inexperienc ed ia woodcraft, the dogs intuitively did good work. Lena, from the age of 11, bad bandied a gun, and when she was 12 years old her father made her present of doa ble barreled shotgun, handsomely moun ted. Wi'.h this Lena became an expert shot, and it was no uncommon sight to see her testing her ability as a marksman at the- Thanksgiving shooting matches in the neighborhood where she Lived. On the morning following the girl's first vents re as a coon banter her par ents, surprised that she did not pat in an eppearance at the breakf.ist table, went to her chamber to call her and found it empty. There was consternation in the Beetnaa household, but w bile her excit ed parents were hunting for some clue to her whereabouts Lena walked into the yard with her gun oa her shoulder aal two big coons in her band. She left five others in tbe swamp, as they were too heavy for Ler to bring Lome. The girl's parents did not ap prove of her conduct and forbade her go ing into the woods alone again after dark. The command bad no effect on her. Every opportunity that fcht had she would take ber gun and dogs and stray away for a night's hunt, until final ly ber parents withdrew their opposition and allowed her to go and tome a.-t she pleased. Up to the loth day cf last month Miss Beeman bad killed 20S coons and one night Last week shs Went out and beat her previous record by slay Log 12 of tbee wily creatures. She bad made herself a hunting suit of tanned coon's hide. It is simply mas culine dress c!oe-filliug troopers, frock ccat, calf-skin Loots and a cap. Around her waist she wears a cartridge belt, aad ia the skirt of the coat are a number of capacious jocket?, in which she carries victuals aad drink and two or three bot tles of iiniment and antidotes for scratch es and bruises, to be used on herself and her dogs in casj of accidental injury. She also cairies a bull's eye lantern. This is used to reveal the .bxttion cf a coon when it has been t-ecd. Miss Biman has met with several ac cidents during her career aa a banter, and she has had several experiences that would can nine men in ten to abandon the sport. The a auip back of Crow hill ia many places is tre-'oervus. The mud is deep and of tho nature of quicksand. I.ina fell into one cf these quagmires one r.ight, aal but for her faithfjl dogs would probably have died ther. The dogs had treed a coon and MLn Beemaa was Lurryinj in the direction of their voices when she stepped into mud hole, from which she was enable to ex tricate herself. She was gradually sink ing into the mire, aad realizing her help iessnessLe flashed Ler Lantern over her bead to see U there was not something that she ou'.d g?t hold of t saopjrt her until help siioul l come to ber. Fortunately the end of the limb of a swamp elm hung within her roach, and crasping it she hung on de;erateiy, sus taining herself by maia dtreugth. She called the dogs to her and sent tLein bsm. Sue kaew that the appearance cf the aniiials at the house unaccox.par.iod by her, w -vuld Lave the e.lVct of tricking help. Obeying the comtuani cf their mistress, the dogs went home. When the dog? cams home without his daught er Mr. Becmsa suspected that all was not well with Ler, and, aroasio j the neigh bors, party of searchers e'.ri'.-k into the 1 woods. The dog- led the men directly to their mistress, who was rescas-J from j her dangerous predicament, muddy and almost ex hausted, but not ia the least j frgb.ened. The following nightshe was in the swamp with bet dogs. The coon sometimes doe not quietly submit to persecution. It cot infre quently ehows fight when treed, and when its read is up it will make as hard a scrap as man or do-.: cares to g"t into Miss Beeman came into contact with a case of this character last fa!L The dogs struck a track oa the edge of the corn field and followed it into the swamp. It was about midnight when their barking indicated that the game had been corner ed, and Lena hurried toward them, fche found the dogs at tbe foot of Large yel low birch tree. She Mashed the lantern into the branches to locate thegmme,but she bad hardly done this when the coon sprang upon ber from directly overheJ and knocked her down. In her aston ishment the girl dropped her gun and the lantern went flying ten feet wsy. The coon's claws dragged through the flesh of her face, and she bled profusely. The dogs attacked the animal and, after hard fight, managed to kill it, but they had a g'KKl many scratches. Miss B-.-e-maa mansged to get the coon home. It was a monster, weighing over 3) pounds. The girl's face still bears the scars of the scratches made by the coon's claws. Oue of the greatest pests to the farmers in Connecticut is the coon, for it not only destroys their corn bat it constantly menacesj their ben roosts, and unless the doers are securely closed these maraud ij o WHOLE NO. 2154 ing animals will get ia and destroy ta fattest of their fowl. One night last fall Miss Beeman was awakened by commotion among the chickens in the hen bouse. Thinking that a coon had got into the- chicken Louse she got op, and, taking Lantern and her brother's ball club, went out to dispatch the animal. The farm band had forgotten to close the door of the hen house, aad Lena found it wide open. The chickens were still rentleiw, and going to the door the girl held a lantern over ber bead and looked in. As she did so monster coon attempted to run by ber through the door. The girl struck at the animal and bit it, bat dil not disable iL As she raised her club to deal it another blow it sprang upon ber with such force that she staggered back, nd, striking ber beel against a stick, she fell with the coon scratching at her throaL Protecting herself as best she could with her arms, the gill called for her fa ther, who came running from the hoii with gun. The coon, undaunted, kept gnawing and scratching at the girl's arms. Her father did cot dare to attempt to shoot the animal for fear of killing his daughter, and, clubbing his g'tn, he knocked the coon froia the girl's body and the animal ea-aped. Th girl was seriously hurt at this time and she was obliged to lie in bed three weeks before her wouads healed and she recovered her strength. Mi.ss Beeman makes good deal of money through the sale of the skins of the animals that she kills. She is bright, intelligent girl, not at all mascu line in her manners. She is well educat ed and an accomplished horsewoman. Entitled to Confidence. Mr. G. W. Benford, druggist, should have the confidence of this community.
