NO MOOSE EVER
"TREED" A MAN
Old Maine Guide Declares Ani
mals Never Attack a Hu
man Being.
EXPLODES PDPilLAR FABLES
Takes Little Stock In Birch-Bark Horn
Calls In Mating Season Bulls
Will Respond to Any
Noise.
Bangor, Me. According to old Den
York, a famous hunter und guide In
Maine for GO yeurs, no moose ever wus
known to "tree" a mun In the sense In
which tho term Is generully under
stood, numerous reports to the con
trary being fables or at best exaggera
tions. "In my day,M said Ben York, "I have
seen thousands ot moose nnd killed
hundreds of them. I have followed
them days nnd nights, at nil seasons. I
have watched them for days at a time
to learn their tricks ; I have kept them
In fenced InclosnreOTiear my cutnp for
years at a tlm, and have turned nnd
driven them to harness nil along the
West Branch. Moro than all this, 1
havo questioned rclluble hunters and
woodsmen who were alive und active
when there were as muny moose In
Maine as there nro hedgehogs now,
and I have never known or learned
from any reliable sources of n single
Instunce of a human being being
'treed' by one of the animals.
Act Strangely at Times.
"During the nutting season," says
York, "the bulls act very strangely at
times, rushing ubout In an til in I ess
manner, climbing steep hills, swlm
nilng furious streams and placing
themselves In peril of their lives In
muny ways. While the fury for com
bat Is on an old bull he will crush
through the woods, running his head
against rocks nnd trMs ud often In
juring himself seriously. If n man
should get In the bull's way nt such a
time, why, very likely ho would be
come a candtdute for the hospital. At
such a time the bull never stops to
note how much damage he bus done.
He keeps racing right along at top
speed until he gets all fagged out or
meets a rival for tho object of his af
fections. "The stories that sotuo guides tell,"
said York, "ubout moose driving
hunters Into trees and standing guard
over them all night, puwlng the
ground and bellowing with rage, arc.
Inventions of nature fakers to awe
greenhorns. I am convinced that no
mooso ever deliberately attacked a
human being, unless wounded and
crazed with pain, In which condition
the meekest of aulmnls often become
dangerous; and whoever tells of be
ing treed by a moose at any time or
under nny circumstances Is drawing
upon his Imagination.
"I have seen two bull moose fight,"
he says, "while I stood within a few
rods of them, nnd keep up the battle
for half an hour without becoming
aware of my presence. At other times
I have paddled up to a mother moose
when she was feeding on the roots of
pond lilies with her head under water,
nnd drawn off half n pint of her milk
without alarming her. I have wen
mooso fight with wolves nnd benrs,
nnd hnve observed their extreme so
licitude for their young; but never
yet havo I seen or known of a moose
treeing n human being.
No Use for Moosehorn.
"While I'm talking about moose,"
York said, "I want to say that I tnke
no stock In tho so-cnlled moosehorn
for calling bulls to their destruction
in the mating season. The cow moose,
whoso cry Is mild to bo closely imi
tated by tho birch-bark horn, utters
a long nnd dolorous wall nt times,

nre very alert to cnteh the slightest
sound, und let a twig snnp or nn nx
hnndlo beat a tattoo on n hollow
stump nnd the bull Is away In . the
direction of the sound, bellowing his
defiant challenge. I hnvo used the
blrch-bnrk horn with some success in
culling moose, but I hnvo done us well
or better by nipping the butt of my
rlflu Rgalnst the trunk of n tree or
breaking a twig In the thicket. It Is
my belief that the dominant passion
In tho mind of a bull moose In mating
time Is to meet and defeat every
rival, and thnt the dolorous cry of
the cow neither attracts nor repels
the male."
Many of tho oldest hunters nnd
guides agree with Mr. York concern
ing the treeing of .men by moose, but
most of them believe thnt tho birch
liar It horn Is very useful to the
hunter.
"TANKS" FIGHT IN PAIRS
Known as Males and Females, Says
Officer of Nova Scotia
Battalion.
Klngsport, N. 8. A description of
the operation of British "tanks" was
given by Lieut. Harry W. Illltz of the
Nova Scotia battalion on Ids arrivnl
hero.
"There are two tyiiea of tanks,
known ns the male and female tank,"
he said. 'They fight In pairs, n mule
nnd a female. The male tank enrries
two heavy guns and six machine guns
and the female has two heavy guns
and five machine guns.
"They certainly proved a great sur
prise to the Germans, and I might add
to us as well, as they enme lumbering
along during the fight for Courcelettc,
They of course did better work then
than they huvo accomplished since, for
the Germans have become nccustomed
to them and know better now how to
fight back. Nothing hut a direct hit
by a henvy 6hell will damage them In
the least."
Lieutenant lliltz says the now Brit
ish war machine travels about two or
three miles nn hour nnd when It comes
to n trench the front part drnws up
after the manner of u caterpillar at
tempting to get over un onstucle. At
night when the tanks are used n white
tape Is run out nhend from the ma

48,798 SUICIDES
IN FIVE YEARS
Self-Destruction an Increasing
Hazard in Life Insurance
in This Country.
MOST NUMEROUS N THE WEST
Statlctlcs 6how Suicide Rate Has Ap
parently Reached Stationary Level
Highest Rates In Yeara of
Great Buaineaa Depression.
New York. An Intensive study of
Kitielde In the United Klittes, with sta
tistics uuulyzliig self-destruction from
ulmoKt every possible angle, Is pub
lished In the (Spectator, a weekly in
surance paper of this city.
The sections In which the greatest
number of suicides occur, the ttges nt
which tho gretttest number of persons
end their lives, the relntlve number
of self-killings of the present day us
contrasted with other periods, ure all
analyzed by the writer, Frederick L.
Hoffman.
Tho chief concluviuu reached Is that
tile suicide rate In this country, while
fairly high, bus apparently reached
a stationary level. Unit is, it mis
Increased but n tiny fraction during
the lust five yenrs over the live years
preceding.
An uiiexplulimhlc, or unexplained,
fact aliout American suicides Is thnt
they nro for more numerous In the
western, Jtocky mountnln und central
regions than In the Kast. The further
West the Investigator looks, the. more
suicides he fine's.
Tha Statistics.
The following table Is bused on the
percentage of self-destructions per
100.000 of population during the live
yenrs ending with 1014:
Section. Cities. Suicides. I'er Ct.
Eastern 55 10.110 10.r
Central 17 7,393 - 23.0
Kocky Mountain.. 8 510 28.0
Pncine Const 0 3.082 34.4
Kan Diego, .Cnl, has the record of
the highest suicide rate In the coun
try, It being C3.3 per 100.000 of pnpuhi
tlon. San Francisco Is not far behind,
hnving a rate of 55.7. Sacramento Is
nlso u place conducive to suicide, up-
pnrently, for its rate Is 81.2. These
figures are for the year 1915, consid
ered scpnrotely, and In each of those
coses show Increases over the percent
age for the previous five yenrs.
The figures for 100 American cities
show that the general suicide rate for
1015 was 20.7. ns ngninst 20.3 for the
period between 1910-14. The trifling
Increase throughout the whole coun
try Is caused by the great Increusie
which the far Western cities hnd.
Sun Diego's Increase was 20.1, Sacru
mento's 19.0. Sun Francisco's 8.9.
Manhattan nud tho Bronx, which
ore nnalyzed together n a city, had n
suicide rate during 1915 of 19.4 per
1O0.0O0, ns against 18.0 during the five
years before, an Increuse of 0.8. Bnck
In the yenrs betweep 1900-04 the rate
wns 21.7.
Augusta, On., hnd the lowest rate
of nil American cities which were In
vestlgntcd, the record In 1013 being
four persons per 100.000. Mobile, Ala.,
also wus low, with 5.3. Auburn, N.
Y., hnd a record of 5.4.
High suicide rates, the Spectator
points out, have to a certain extent
been connected with years or bail
business nnd yenrs when business
houses failed, ns In 1894. following the
1893 panic, when tho general rate wns
15.3, nnd 1908, following the Inst panic,
when the into reached tho highest
innrk In the country's history, 21.0.
The smaller the city the fewer the
suicides, the investigator found. Of
the 100 cities considered. 70 were un
tier 250,000 population. These showed
a self-destruction rnte 'bt 18.2 per 100.
000. The 24 cities ohove the qttnrter-
million mark showed on Aggregate
rnte of 21.1.
More Men Than Women.
Many more men thnn womctt end
their lives. The tables show that the
highest rate for the mnle sex Is 21.5
per cent and thnt the period of life
nt which this number of men commit
suicide Is between the nges of forty-
five und fifty-four. The highest rate
for women Is 13.0 per cent, und the
favorite ngo for self-destruction Is be
tween fifty-five nnd sixty-four.
Two boys between the nges of five
and nine nre on record ns having
killed themselves In the period be
tween 1910-14. Ten wns the most
youthful age nt which there Is record
of girls having committed- suicide, 09
having mndo nwny with themselves
between ten nnd fourteen yenrs.
There were 48.798 suicides In the
country between 1910 nnl 1914.
As to seasons, the greatest number
of suicides nppenr to have occurred
In May nnd June, the rnte for those
months being 0.3. The smallest num
ber occur In Jantinry 7.4.
Firearms were the favorite method
during the period under nnnlysls, 14,
432 persons hnving shot themselves.
Poisoning wus next, with 13,093. Then
came hanging, with 7.007; nsph.vxln
tk.n, 5,834; cutting Instnmcnts. 3.142;
drowning, 2.710, und Jumping from
high pluces,S3-l.
Despite the virtually stationary rate
ot suicide, the writer regards self-do-Mructlon,
In his summing up, as nn
"liiereaslng hnznrd !n Ufc 'nsttrance."
"But the next day ho returned, said
I he 'Just couldn't behave himself around
1 life,' kissed me on the cheek nnd left
ilo biuise quickly.
After the Jurors had heard Mr. Kuz
mler deny the nlleged net. they looked
again nt Mrs. Nlsh nnd then agreed
'hut n fair price for the kiss was $1,
000. Thnt was their verdict, nnywny.

Highest Premiums Awarded at
: Many Exhibitions.
Tho Full fair season Is past nnd a
retrospect of them shows that Western
Canada is stronger than ever In the
matter of exhibits, nnd has taken more
'.ban her usual share of the prize
noney. From Western Canada to
Texas Is n long look, from Alberta.
Saskatchewan nnd Manitoba to the
southwestern corner of Texas is sev
eral duys' Journey, but the enterprising
farmers from this new country to the
northwest were wide uwukc to the
possibilities that waited them nt the
International Dry V arming Congress
Held nt El Paso, Texas, a few weeks
ago, to bring to the uttenlion of those
In thnt far-off corner whnt the land of
Western Canada could do In the pro
duction of grains nnd roots from Its
soil. And what did these fanners do?
The first thing wns to carry off the
first prize and sweepstakes for wheat.
Thnt wns a foregone conclusion, for It
ins now become nn established fact that
nowhere else In the world Is there
Crown wheat of the high character and
market value of Western Canadian
whetit. The same may be stilt! of outs.
of bntiey nnd of rye. But when it cntne
to notice that Western Cnnndn took
first prize for nlfnlfn, It was then that
more special attention was given to
the products from Western Cnnndn. It
showed Hint In that country there lies
he opportunity for supplementing the
wonderful native grasses, so full of nu
trition that with the turned varieties,
among them being nlfnlfn. the cattle
with no other food were fattened nnd
fitted for the shnmbles. Western Can
ada's worth wns proved ns probably
the greatest mixed fanning portion of
the continent. When the steers from
tho Western Canadian prairies reach
the Chicago stockyards they bring
the top price and outweigh those from
other pluces where grnss fattening Is
the process. But It wns not only In
grains that Western Cnnndn carried
off the highest honors at the El Paso
exhibition. Potntoes. parsnips, beets,
?arrots nnd rutnbngns also took the
highest honors. In root production
this country Is becoming favorably
known.
The question often n rises ns to mar
kets. There is always tho highest
price awaiting the producer, and as
soon as the Hudson Bay Itallwny, now
about completed, reaches the Bny,
there will be an additional outlet for
the product of the form. The Pacific
coast route, via the Panama canal, will
give another outlet of which full nd
vnntnge may je tnken. With virgin land
selling nt from f 15 to $20 per acre, nnd
Improved farms nt reasonable prices
