ASSAILED BY WOLVES.
Adventures ol Three Heathers in
the Lumber Clearlaga.
From the London Graphic.
Not many years ago the centre of
the lumber region every winter saw
large camps established. Among
the employes at one station was
three brothers, as fine specimens of
humanity as could be seen in a day's
march. Soon after the snows fell
they had a grievance, some difference
of opinion, with the boss, or head
man, so they resolved to leave and
make their way to the nearest settle
ment, a distance of about three days'
journey. The snow was not yet in
good order for traveling, being ex
ceedingly loose and powdery, the
result of the lowneas of the ther
mometer, no thaw having occured
since it fell. However, our advent
urers were lusty of body and stout
of heart; so sunrise one brilliant
morning saw them start, carrying
but a light "pack," and only armed
with their axes.
Ab the}' slowly progressed through
the pathless forest they became
aware that it was becoming sensibly
colder, but this was not a matter of
great import to them, for there were
sheltered nooks to be found and fuel
in abundance existed on either side.
The pine forests at this season of
the year are very silent, for nearly
all the birds have emigrated to
watmer climates, even the wild quad
rupeds seem to be affected by this
silence, and, with the exception of
the bay lynx and timber wolf, all
have lost their voices. On the third
day, as the woodmen were passing
along the margin of a cedar swamp,
they became cousious ot the vicinity
of wolves by hearing occasional yelp.
The animals are so little dreaded
by mature human beings in this
CQQAtry that 1 the travelers scarcely
paid attention to the circumstance,
but when they had gained a well
timbered ridge a cry was heard in
the distance, as if a pack of fox
hounds were in full chase of game.
The lumberman at once concluded
that the pursuit was after a moose
or caribou, and, with natural curios
ity, halted with the hope of witness
ing part of the hunt. This they did
Booner than expected, and in a more
dissagreeable way than anticipated,
for, coming up the slope which they
had already traversed, were dis
tinctly to be seen several large wolves
followed by a numerous retinue, and
without a doubt they running upon
the men's trail.
No time was to be lost, immediate
action had at once to be taken, so
the three brothers placed their backs
to a giant tree, and, with their trusty
axes, resolved to sell their lives as
dearly as possible. The first onset
was lead by four most powerful
beasts. Two of the lumbermen,
with adroit skill, disposed of their
respective foes; not so with the
third man. His leading assailant
fell, but before he could raise his axe
he was pulled down by the other
brute, and but for his prompt pres
ence of mind he might have been
severely torn, if not killed. Find
ing that his axe could not be further
used, the brave fellow dropped it,
threw himself on his knees and
buried his sheath knife in the ribs of
his assailant. This thrust was so
immediately successful in its results
that in a moment after he had re
covered his former weapon and his
position against the tree.
In the meantime his brothers had
been busy; their coolness and dex
terity had done fearful execution,
well attested by the dead and
maimed brutes that surrounded
them. The lesson that had been
taught their leaders began to tell up
on their followers, for they now
hesitated to charge home, but re
tained a respectful distance, which
was soon followed by all retiring in
to their forest retreats, doubtless
consious that lumbermen could not
be molested with impunity. The
truth of this story cannot be doubted,
for the next spring the heads of the
slain were presented to the proper
authoiities, to enable the brothers
to claim the royalty upon wolves'
skulls.

John Brown's Monument Hit.
OSSAWATOMIE, Kan., April 9.
An aerolite fell near this town yes
terday afternoon, striking the monu
ment to John Brown, or "Ossawato
mie Brown"as he was sometime called,
erected by private subscriptions or
iginated by Horace Greely in 1863.
The metoer broke off the left arm
of the statue and passed through the
dome and nave in a slightly south
easterly direction, and through six
feet of clay just south of the crypt,
stopping only at bed rock. Experts
say the aerolite is composed of pel
ium metal, known to exist only in
the sun.

SOCIETY or LAPORTE, FA.
FOB YOU NO MEN TO CONSIDER
The Mont NnrcrMiul BMIBM*
Men of To-day |>o not Orlnk.
What led me to make up my mind
never to touch liquor was the damage
which I saw wrought bv it upon
some of the finest minds with which
it was ever my privilege to come in
contact, and I concluded that what
has resulted injuriously to others
might prove BO to me. I have seen,
even in my few years of professional
life,some of the most brilliant literary
men dethroned from splendid posi
tions owing to nothing else but their
indulgence in wine. I have known
men with salaries of thousands of
dollars per year, occupying positions
which hundreds would strive a life
time to attain, come to beggary from
drink.
Only recently there applied to me
for any position I could offer him
one of the most brilliant editoral
writers in the newspaper profession
—a man who two years ago easily
commanded SIOO for a single edi
torial in his special field. That man
became so unreliable from drink that
editors arc now afraid of his article,
and he sits in a cellar in one of our
cities writing newspaper wrappers
for one dollar per 1,000. And that
is only one instance of several I could
recite here. Ido not hold my friend
up as a terrible example, lie is only
one of a type of men who convince me
and may convince others that a clear
mind and liquor do not go .together
Then, as I looked around and came
to know more of people and things,
I found the always unanswerable
argument in favor of a young man's
abstinence—i. e., that the most suc
cessful men in America today are
those who never lift a wine glass to
their lips. Becoming interested in
this fact, I had the curiosity to per
sonally inquirer into it,and of twenty
eight of the leading business men
i« the country whose names I se
lected at random twenty-two never
touched a drop of wine of any sort.
I made up my mind that there was
some reason for this. If liquor
brought safe pleasures, why did these
men abstain from it ? If, as some
say, it iB a stimulant to a busy man,
why did not these men, directing
the largest business in trusts in the
country, resort to it ? And when I
saw that these were the men whose
opinions in great business matters
were accepted by the leading con
cerns of the world I concluded that
their judgment iu the use of liquor
would satisfy me. If their judgment
in business matters could command
the respect and attention of the
leaders of trade on both sides of the
sea, their decision as to the use of
liquor was not apt to be wrong.
And as opportunities come ton 0
togo around in homes and at public
places I find that I do not occupy a
solitary position. The tendency to
abstain from liquors is growing more
and more among young men of to-dayj
The brightest young men I know—
young men who are filling positions
of power and promise—never touch
a drop of beer, wines or intoxicants
of any sort. And the young man
who to-day makes up his mind that
he will be on the safe side and adhere
to strict abstinence will find that he
is not alone. He has now the very
best element in business and social
life in the largest cities of our land
with him.—E. W. Bok in Ladies'
