The valves of my heart failed tt

The Reformed I’oneher, However, I,
of the Opinion Tliat There In Little
Difference lletwceii Ileioir Killed
and ReinK Seared to Dentil.
The closest call I over bad, remarked
the reformed poacher, turned out to bo
no call at all, but for a time I was sure
old Gabriel had bis trumpet tuned up
for me, and, after all, there ain’t a
mighty sight of difTerence between get
ting killed and getting scared to death.
And that’s about what happened to me
It was in the early eighties, the first
winter I trapped in Allegasb waters,
and, although up to the 1st of February
there wasn't six inches of snow in the
woods, I had salted down in my shack
the prettiest lot of furs I’ve seen before
or since. And out of 2UO skins, some-
thing like 70 were otter.
Funny ildug, too, that run of otter.
I took every one of them from a short
Uue of traps set back of a small stream
of dead water. The other traps took
everything that came along, beaver,
fisher, mink and ermine, but these half
dozen, somehow or other, would spring,
only on to the leg of an otter. And 1
didn’t kick a hit, for the skins were
worth then just $lo apiece.
Well, come the 1st of February and
about time for a big snowstorm. I got
uneasy, as trappers will; wanted some
thing more exciting, I gjiess, and one
line morning I bundled ray furs on to a
big sled and set out for Kineo. There
wasn't any snow to speak of on the
river, and I made pretty good time up
Churchill lake and about dark reached
the thoroughfare into Eagle lake,
where 1 built a lire and got a hit oL
supper. It was a fine night, hut a
little breezy, and a big circle around
the moon told me of snow, and lots ol
it, not far away. So 1 figured ’twonld
be a good idea to get to the settlement
about as soon as 1 could, and. packing
up again, I set out down the lake.
The wind was at my hack and just
boosted me along, but the sled traveled
faster and kept bumping into my feet.
Says 1 to myself, Why don't you use
the wind? And I did. Uuuniug ashore.
1 cut a stout pole and two crosspieces
and soon had a first class sail set and
was flying down the middle of Eagle
hike, a-smokiug my pipe as happy as
any old salt coming into port before a
fair wind. There wasn’t anything for
me to do but steer dear of 1‘illslmry
island—not a hard job—so l burrowed
under the furs and sort of dozed off.
thinking of the good times those otter
skins were going to bring me.
The wind kept rising, but the old
sled kept right along with it. That
didn’t worry me any, however, for
there was no danger, and the faster we
went the better I liked it. Well, we
were drawing under the head of the
island when the sled struck a wrinkle
that'sort of jarred some life into me
and, rousing up, I looked about to get
my bearings.
Gee whiz! What I saw drove all the
day dreams out of me. Right ahead,
not 1,000 yards away, was a stretch of
black, open water reaching clear across
the lake, and the sled rushing right
into it as fast as half a gale could drive
It. Throwing myself forward on my
knees, I grabbed the mast to unship it.
but I bad done too good a job putting
it up to be undone in a minute. I
pulled and pushed with all my strength
but it wouldn’t give an inch. Then I
tackled the ropes that held the blanket,
but they were drawn so tight you
couldn’t start them, although my nails
were torn off to the quick. And all this
time the sled was driving and swaying
along at race horse speed toward the
awful, black gulf, yawning ahead. I
could almost hear the waves breaking
along the Ice front/'SCvcry moment I
expected to go through never to come
up.
“Cut the ropes.” came to me, and
like a flash my hand sought my belt.
Rut the sheath was empty. I had used
the knife to out tobacco, and it was
somewhere beneath me among the
skins. Too late to hunt for it, too late
even to jump for safety, for at that
Instant the white ice tft my side faded
away Into blackness, and throwing
myself forward on my face among my
precious otter skins I awaited the fatal
plunge.
How long I In^there I don’t know.
It seemed hours, but it was only sec
onds. I began to wonder if I had real
ly gone to the bottom and never
knew it. If I was really drowned—
why. 1 was not cold and wet and
strangling. Then came a sudden shock
—a crash and I was hurled, more dead
than alive, from the sled.
For a time I knew nothing. 1 was
too pear dead from fright to think.
Then I mustered courage to look
around. No. I wasn't at the bottom
of the lake or floating on the Icy wa
ters, hut I was lying mighty well
bruised and shaken up on the rocky
(bores of I’illsbury island.
It wasn’t open water after all—that
awful black space. It was simply
black ice across the channel that had
formed after the other and since the
last tall of snow. Rut It fooled me
terribly. And this is my closest call—
no call at all. you see. Rut 1 tell you
there Is mighty little choice between
being killed and being scared to death.
—Itaugor Whig and Courier.
Wire TmppIiik.
The tapping of a telegraph wire Is a
modern form of highway robbery. Id
the old days the method was to way
lay the courier on the road and to rob
him of his purse or of his message.
The formula of the modern highway
man is not “Stand and deliver!” but
simply “Heliver!” And he may get a
message from the lightning courier
which may be worth more to him than
a well filled purse.
Rut there is nothing tofe gained hy
Indiscriminate tupping. It is some
special message or information that
the thief is looking for, possibly for Its
effect on the stock market or on other
business ventures. Rut the use of ci
pher codes renders the tapping of tele
graph wires of little avail even In time
of war unless the code as well as the
message has been stolen.
For the tapping of power or light
lines the modern highwayman comes
In out of the rain. He can do his busi
ness better indoors by attacking the
electric meter, confusing its calcula
tions and thus getting more current
than he pays for. Fuch at least seems
to be the implication of recent statutes.

C. I. Hood Si Vo Yietorloi;* in Important
Injuiiftlon AKalnat Dr. ,1. C. Hood.
Important suits have just been de
cided in the U. S. Circuit Courts in
volving the right to the word Hood
or Hood’s. Messrs. C. I. Hood A
Co., of Lowell, Mass., proprietors of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, began suit for
infringment against Dr. J. (’. Hood,
of Louisville, Ky., who was putting
up what he called ‘Dr. Hood's Sar
saparilla.” After a hearing in the
U. S. Circuit Court at LouBville,
Judge Evans on April 12 granted a
temporary injunction in favor of C. J
Hood A Co., and restraining I C.
Hood from usmg the word JIo> d in
any way or form on any preparation
of sarsaparilla.
Messrs. C. I. Hood A Co., also be
gan suit against a retail druggist in
Indianapolis, Louis 11 Renkert. who
was selling Dr J. C. Hood’s Sarsa
parilla. Dr. Hood employed counsel
arid made a di fence, hut Judge Baker
of the U. S. Circuit Court granted an
injunction which on April 23 became
perpetual.
These two decrees establish the
exclusive right of C. I. Hood A Co,
to the word “Hood’s” and decide In
effect that no other per.-on can put
up a a Hood’s Sarsaparilla even if
his name is Hood, nor can any retail
druggist sell or offer for sale any
sarsaparilla bearing the name Hood
or Hood's other than that prepared
by C. I. Hood A Co.
These decisions will oe gratifying
to every fair minded person. Xo
manufacturer should object to fair
competition, but when an attempt is
made to steal or infringe upon a busi
ness which has been established by
great skill, labor and expenditure,
justice cannot be dealt out too quick
ly. Xor should “substitution” be
allowed, when a standard article is
called for. Therefore, when you go
to buy Hood’s Harpariila you should
be sure to get “only Hood’s.”
