The Wolves
—OF— S
The Baraboos.
$ BY FRANKLIN WELLES CALKINS.
Rs EB a i yy
One of the most stirring encounters
with wolves related in central Wis-
consis is that of the two Barbours—
father and son—and “’Liph” Jones.
It took place among the b'g woods of
the Baraboo “Bluffs. The Barbours
had a cabin in the woods at that time,
and were making logs of the great
white oak timber.
Heavy snows fell in February and
about the first of March of that year
and when there was no crust the chop-
pers had often had to wade to their
knees to and from the bluff. Anxious
to get a lot of logs down to the river
in time to make a raft for the spring
overflow, the choppers cleared a wide
roadway, or rather rollway, down the
bluff. They began at the top at a point
where a great many of the logs al-
ready cut could be “drifted” down
with “handspikes” until they should
be at the brink of the descent, which
pitched off rather suddenly. From this
point the logs plunged and slid and
rolled some 300 yards or more down a
swift incline, lodging in a bayou-like
depression, a sort of elbow from the
river, at the foot of the bluff.
The stumps in the roliway were cut
80 close to the ground that they inter-
fered only when the snow was light—
barking and sometimes splintering a
log. A week's rolling would clean off
a moderately heavy snow, and when
the stumps showed too bumptiously,
the rollers would quit that part of the
work, .and wait for a fresh snowfall.
One evening at sunset, when the men
had just finished skidding the last log
up on the pyramid at the brink of the
bluff, Perry Barbour. a youth of 17
years, suddenly rushed for the flint-
lock musket which leaned against a
tree. The others saw that Perry
meant to shoot a yearling fawn, which
was plunging in the snow not 20 yards
distant. It sank above its knees at
every jump, and was nearly worn out
with running.
The boy's shot killed it.
“Good for you, Perry!” ’Liph Jones
shouted for they needed fresh meat.
The words were hardly out of his
mouth when there was a sudden burst
of yip-yip-yi-yi-ying, and the astonished
loggers saw, coming over the rise of
the bluff, one, two, three, a dozen, a
countless pack of big gray wolves run-
ning laboriously, tongues lolling and
breath steaming. They were hot upon
the trail of the deer.
Perry stared at the lunging brutes an
instant, and then, dropping his gun,
ran to the fawn and siczed it bf the
hind legs.
“I'm going to lave this deer!” ho
shouted. “Shoo! shoo! H: Yip” and
he hurried backward, dragzing the cap-
cass after him.
But the big brutes. embaidencd hy
their numbers and maddesed by a
long, fruitless chase, came on at full
jump, yelping viciously.
Three of the foremost actually
pounced upon the head and fore parts
of the deer, and had nearly jerked the
animal out of Perry's grasp before his
father and ’Liph came up and beat
them off, with their spikes.
The boy piuckily held to his game
and dragged it back to the log-pile.
POOP PIV O06
ov
hauling it, pouncing upon it, and piling
upon and over each other in their des-
perate eagerness, a confused and
scrambling mass of jaws, legsand tails.
As the loggers, immensely relieved
at the sight, craned their necks to look
down at the turmoil, an inspiration
came to 'Liph.
“They're square below us!” he cried.
“Let's give em a log. It'll smash the
whole crowd!”
With the backwoodsman’s quick in-
stinet for action, the three sprang to-
gether back of the top log, a 20 foot
cut nearly three feet in diameter. The
elder Barbour and ’'Liph thrust their
handspikes into the crevice and got a
“bite” against the lower log, and Perry
in his eagerness heaved with his shoul-
der for want of a spike. A steady pres-
sure upon the eads of their levers
raised the big log above the level of its
opposite and lower neighbor, and an
extra heave tilted it over.
From the top of the log-pile the great
trunk plunged, going over the brink
of the bluff straight down upon the
struggling pack, as if discharged from
a catapult. The clamor and struggle
of the piled-up mob of wolves prevent-
ed them from seeing or hearing, until
the huge missile bounced directly
among them. Then the destruction,
the howls, the bounds of the survivors!
'Liph said it was “like striking your
fist into a tin plate full of parched
corn.” Those animals which had es-
caped crushing leaped and scrambled
in every direction, frightened out of
their wits, some of them darting off
over the brush and debris into the
woods on either hand, and others plung-
ing with tremendous springs directly
down the roll-way, the log bumping
and boomi close upon their heels,
with a noise and rush that might well
have scared the boldest of animals.
To the hindmost of these wolves a
curious thing happened. He was over-
take». and the log rolled over him
and left him kicking. Then he scram-
bled to his feet and fled howling along
the side-hill. He had been overtaken
just above a lollow that contained
considerable snow, and into this he
had been pressed deeply.
The triumphant logmen gazed long
enough to discover that seven dead
wolves lay scattered about the carcass
of the deer, and that an eighth, severe-
Iy hurt, was dragging itself toward
a brush-pile. Then they set to and
heaved over log after log, until six
had gone booming and crashing down
the bluff. Then, fearing that the pack,
which was still very numerous, might
return when their logs were exhaust-
ed, they picked up their coats and the
gun and hurried across the bluff,
making a slight circuit to keep high,
clear ground in getting to their camp.
They saw no more wolves that night,
however.
They did not return to the scene of
their exploit until the next morning,
when they found the pack had re-
turned some time in the night, and
cleaned the bones of the fawn. Seven
dead bodies of big. gray wilves lay
close about untouched, and the wound-
cd one was also found dead under a
brush-pile.—Youth’s Companion.

while the two older men followed,
holding back with their spikes the
snapping pack, which inc d in |
numbers every instant. Four wolves
were knocked sprawling. and yet when
the three men had reached the log-pile
with the deer, the whole savage crowd
was pressing upon three sides, snap-
ping, yelping, bounding over one anoth-
er, and back and forth as blows were
aimed at them,
It began to look to the men as if it
would be a fight for life, The biggest
and boldest of the pack did not hesitate
to leap directly at the loggers, with
vicious snaps of the teeth that sounded
like the clicking of so many pairs of
shears, and yet the brutes were care-
ful to keep beyond the swing of the
clubs. Perry.© however, while the
others were fighting, succeed=d in drag-
ging his venison to the top of the pyra-
mid.
’Liph and Perry's father then sprang
upon the logs, and climbed to the top
of the pile where the boy now stood.
One hardy wolf immediately followed
with a jump, alighting on the lower
logs: but a downward sweep of 'Liph's
bandspike knocked him heels over
head, and sent him limping and howl-
ing away with a broken le gz. This
had he effect of intimidating the pack
from making any immediate atte mpt
to rush upon the loggers.
The wolves—Liph counted 38 of
them-—squatted about, licked their Jaws
anxiously, or shifted back und forth
as if tempted to make a leap upon the
logs.
The besieged stamped about upon the
top of their: pyramid, shouted and
waved their clubs to scare the beasts
But the gaunt horde, desperate with
fasting, pressed abouf the log-heap on
all sides with snapping jaws and eyes

gleanied ferociously.
Aside from immediate danger at the
jaws of the brutes, the situation
of
- the men, soon became most uncomfort-
able, for the night was coming on with
a cutting wind from the north. and
their puter coats were all hs inging
upon the’ stump of the first big log
they had rolled down to the heap af-
ter dinner. Exposed as they were on
the "brow of a bluff facing the north,
the cold Wind pierced to their bones
the more quickly because in tugging
at the logs, they had been sweating.
“Something's got to be done!” shout-
ed Mr. Barbour to 'Liph, who was still
making demonstrations at the wolves,
“Something's got to b>» done or I'll
freeze plumb to death, let alone being
eat up by these vermin!”
’Liph turned about. “Tell ye what,”
said he, “let's fling that fawn down the
bluff, and while they're chawing it up
we'll run for home.”
Even Perry, who had been so fool-
Dardily anxious to save his game, saw
the wisdom of this plan, and seized
the hind legs of the fawn to assist
'Liph. Together they swung the deer
to and fro. once, twice, three times,
and as it weighed not more than 60 or
70 pounds, they flung it several yards |
down over the brink before it struck |
the smooth, steep surface, where it
slid rapidly for some distance.

The Diamond's Origin.
The dispute among geologists as to
the origin of the diamond seems to
have heen settled by Professor Bonney
na paper read recently before the Roy-
al society. In the localities from which
the previous supply had been drawn,
both in India and in Brazil, the gem
occurred, 1 ke apebble, in certain gravel-
Iy materials, but had not been traced
back to any rock that gave an indica-
tion of its genesis. But soon after the
discovery of diamonds in river sands
on the Orange and Vaal rivers, in
South Africa, they were found in a
peculiar material, not of a superficial
character. At first extremely incohe-
rent and of a brownish buffy color, it
assumed, as the miners dug deeper, a
=~iull dark greenish or bluish tint, and
hecame harder. In this stuff which
they called “yellow ground” and blue
ground,” according to its color, lay the
diamonds, together with several other
minerals, such as garnet, various iron
ores, olivine, augite, and its allies, Dig-
zing was begun nearly 30 years ago,
at first unsystematically; but from
these early efforts the great diamond-
mining industry has been developed,
and the excavations have been carried
near Kimberley to a depth of more
than 1400 fect, Here the
rock has become so much more solid
that it is at first about as hard as or-
dinary limestone-—Tondon Standard.
“Out of the Mouths of Babes,’
A 13-year-old girl wrote the follow-

I will, because it is not weil to forget
one’s family. T wouldn't worry if I
were a man like you. A girl can’t
help things, but most things a boy
wants he can have by working for
them and all the others by praying.”

Professor Newcomb has calculated
that in 5,000,000 yedrs the sun will
have contracted to one-half its present
diameter, and it is unlikely that it
can continue to radiate heat sufficient
to maintain life upon the earth longer
than 10,000,000 years in the future.
The sight is much less keen than
thought. When revolved at a speed no
faster than 24 times a second, a disc,
half white and half black, will appear
gray. We also hear more rapidly than
we can count. If a clock-clicking
movement runs quicker than 10 to the
second, we can count four clicks, while
with 20 to the second we can count
only two of them.
Mr. Beddard, in his new book on
whales, reminds readers that although
the imagination is apt to picture the
giant reptiles of the Jurassic and Cre-
taceous animals, yet in fact there is
no evidence that the earth has ever
contained, either on the land or in the
sea, creatures exceeding the whale in
bulk. The mammoth was larger than
the elephant, but the ichthyosaurus
could not match the whale for size, al-
though with its terrible jaws it would
doubtless have been the whale’s mas-
ter.
Mastication does not separate fresh
bread, but condenses it into a soft,
doughy, glutinous mass, very difficult
for the saliva to affect. In weak
stomachs, the saliva-coated ball, like
any foreign body, irritates the stom-
ach and brings on indigestion. If the
person is strong and has plenty of out-
door exercise, the new bread is finally
digested, but the effort of digestion is
greater than it should be, and is liable
to overcome the strength and produce
more or less of trouble. Stale bread is
more “crumbly” and does not stay to-
gether so firmly in a sticky mass.
Cyclones or general storms may be
1000 miles ‘in diameter. Hurricanes
operate on a path averaging six to 800
miles wide. Tornadoes are very much
smaller. They may be only a mile
wide at the top and but a few feet at
the bottom, but they are much more
dangerous than either a cyclone or a
hurricane. They form in all parts of
the temperate zone—at sea they are
water spouts, and on the desert they
are sand storms. Sometimes a whole
family of tornadoes will be born at
once from the same cloud. As many
as 15 tubes have been observed at one
time. *
THE MOOSE HUNTER.
How the Sport of the Maine Woods Tries
a Man’s Mettle.
There is no better test of what there
is of a man than to strip him of the
conventionalities and accessories of
civilization and leave him to his own
resources in the heart of a wilderness
like that of Maine. Some of those
whom the world esteems great and
wise would starve forthwith, while
many of those who live and die un-
known to fame would “wax and grow
fat.” There {is one denizen of the
Maine woods that stands pre-eminent
in the time, patience, labor and skill in-
volved in his capture, and pre-eminent
in power to thrill the steadiest nerves
and cause the blood to flow in quick
throbbing beats like quicksilver in the
veins,
The sportsman who has not con-
fronted a bull moose in his native wills
has missed an experience whica is
worth the best year of his life. 1
speak advisedly, for I have been there.
Imagine, if you can, a huge bundle
of muscular power, reared on great,
stiltlike legs to a height of seven feet,
with bristling mane, and eyes which
gleam viciously from beneath bro: ld,
massive antlers which sway with the
huge head eight to ten feet above the
ground.
Imagine yourself standing, if you
have strength to stand, in front of this
frightful apparition, and only a few
yards distant, with the knowledge
that if you don’t kill him he will very
likely kill you, your heart throbbing
so painfully that your ears fairly ache
with its pulsation, the blood racing
through your veins like molten lead,
the sweat starting from every pore in
your skin, while your brain labors in
vain to regain control of the wild tu-
mult which possesses you. Imagine
all this, if you can, and then multiply
the sensations which it calls up two or
three million times, more or less, and
you will have aresult which approaches
the reality in magnitude. The man
who sends every bullet straight to the
mark under such conditions as these
should be excused if he brags a little
about it afterward. He should also b>
excused if he does some very foolish
things when he sees the awe inspir-
ing monster collapse under the para-
lyzing shocks of the well directed bul-
lets—i. e., dropping his rifle and trying
to hug himself, attempting to turn
somersaults which only land him on
his head, trying to shout the good news
to ~verybody within a hundred miles,
and only succeeding in making a poor
little squeak somewhere down in his
throat, trying—Dbut let us drop the cur-
tain. The ethics of sportsmanship for-
bid me to disclose all the absurd things

A Watchmaker,
The late Aaron Dennison was called
“the fatlfer of American watchmak-
ing.” He was Interested in his work,
because he hoped thereby to benefit
his fellow-man.
Often he worked late into the night,
so late that his loving wife would go
and beg him tq “wait until tomorrow.”
One night she sald to him: “Are you
not going to bed at all? What are
you doing?”
And he turned and slowly answered,
“I am trying to make it possible for
every poor man to have a wateh”—a
result which he very nearly accom-
plished. .

Sentenced to the Sestern penitentiary
when a dying man, death finally re-
leased and ended the mis sery of Millard
Fillmore Johnson, one of Clearfield
county's most prominent officials and
citizens, after serving less than four
months of a four years” term. He died
at 8:30 o clock Sunday night, of cancer
of the stomach. Johnson was but 35
years of age and was connected with
some of the leading families of Clear-
field county. He was elected auditor
of the county a few years ago and was
regarded as one of its most upright and
efficient officers. Last spring Clearfield
county had a sensation. Auditor John-
son was charged with approving illegal
charges amounting to thousands of dol-
lars. He was brought to trial, and after
a long and bitterly waged legal contest
was convicted.
What is said to be the longest and
steepest inclined plane in the country
was put in operation Wednesday at the
quarries of the Conemaugh Stone Com-
pany, just east of Conemaugh furnace,
Cambria county. The incline is 1.475
feet long and the grade is 352 feet to the
100. Five cubic yards of stone will be
lowered at a time, and it is expected
that a trip can be made every 10 min-
utes. This will permit of an output of
300 cubic yards daily, which will make
60 car loads. or two train loads.
