Home Srn.'ip. My maternal great-grandfather, Van del* Meerschaut, had a little Cossack horse captured from the Russian in vaders in 1814. The old gcutlemau was lame in one leg as the result of a bunting accident, but withal a good horseman when once in the saddle. "When out on his trips in the country on business and coining home at night, he would frequently full asleep in his commodious Cossack saddle. The horse •would' make a bee Hue for home at an easy but swift pace. Arriving there, it would rap at the front door with its foot until the watchman would opcu the porch and take the old gentleman out of the suddle. My grandmother told me this happened almost every week, llorse and master understood each other. Not being able to walk very well, he would hunt from horse back, the horse following the setters and coming to a standstill when one of them was ou a point, the old gen tleman guiding him entirely by pres sure of the knees and voice ami having both hands free for his fowling piece. Tho horse died of old age on the place, as most of our servants. Peace to bin ashes!— Forest and Stream. 11 ii mfliiit n Hull. A magnificent rod bull owned by an English farmer had an unpleasant no :oriety as a man killer. A strip of oak Sonr«l had therefore been bound tirmly icross his forehead, and on this as an '.olded insult to the monarch of tho herd was When the beast held his muzzle to the sky he could see in front of him, but the mo ment he lowered his head for mischief or grazing al> view except of his own forefeet was cut off. "Clambering one day down a tor near his haunts," says a writer, "I caiue on a stretch of level green. In the center of this sat an Im perturbable artist painting, and round him in furious tangents charged the iuelfe'liml bull, l.p went the beast's head while aim was taken under tho board at this disturber of the solitude, but then, with lowered horns, the plunk again shut the bull into a mis taken memory of where his target was. The painter said he had spent half a morning in flight and the next half in laughter." HccfMl-'Hk Vni in llon*.

Alaska is a big country and has big possibilities says Field and Stream. It has the biggest hear, the biggest moose, the biggest mountain sheep and the biggest salmon and grayling in the world. All of these are plenti ful ami can be taken under United Slates regulations. Time was when Alaska and Siberia were thought of by many as synony mous, and without an idea of just what was meant by either name. That has all changed in the last fevr years, and now Alaska is not so very far away from Seattle. Moreover, ii has been found to be anything but an uninhabitable country. It is without doubt the greatest game country on the globe today, because it is the newest, and the conditions are right for the maintenance of game animals and birds. The biggest mountain on the North ern American continent is in Alaska and is well named Mount MeKinley. Settled Proposals. Council Chamber City Hall, Danville, Pa. June 18th, 1904.
