HAD SPORTING SPIRIT WHY WOODSMEN LET THE LONE WOLF ESCAPE. Had “Put Up a Good Fight,” and Hit Natural Enemies Spared His Life In Token of Their Admiration for Him. TLo earliest streaks of dawn were lightening the eastern sky when the creaking of the windlass and the rattle ot chains announced that the men were drawing the stop logs from the dam. With a grand flourish the last log was laid cn the platform and the great torrent of green-and-whlte water went foaming down the slide. Then the boom that held back the logs was drawn aside, and down they came like a floclc of sheep heading for the fold. By sixes and sevens they plunged into the pool below, rising again in the swift torrent at various angles; then circling madly round until at last they made their way through tie narrows and on down the river. Dave Mordaunt, the foreman, whistled gayly as he watched the logs pass. But suddenly he saw with uneasiness that the men stationed at the narrows could not keep the logs moving fast enough. A jam was beginning to form. i “Shut her off,” he called, “and hustle down here! The narrows are choked!” The men swiftly swung out the light boom and checked the flow of logs. Then, shouldering their poles, the ten of them marched after their boss down the narrow path that led to the lower end of the bay. The path was merely a shelf In the face of tho cliff, which rose above it for nearly a hundred feet. Ten feet below was another shelf, the lower path. It was even narrower and more slippery. The men loosened the jam, and the logs once bore hurried down the stream. Then they shouldered the long poles again and started back up the path toward the dam. “Hark!" shouted the foreman, holding up his hand for silence. From their left, above the roar of the water, came yelping of a pack of wolves. I “They are after a deer!” cried Ben Ford. Even as he spoke the deer came In ■ sight. It was hard pressed; clouds of steam rose from Its panting sides, and its drooping head and protruding ; tongue showed that It was completely , exhausted. The men cheered as it passed, but it paid no attention to them. Round* the narrow lower path it stumbled, and on reaching the narrows, which were now free of logs, it plunged In. The rushing current carried It down ;hc river, but it gained the other shore ! at last and lay down, panting. “Now, boys,” cried Mordaunt, “the 1 wolves will follow the path the deer took! Gather a lot of rocks and spread yourselves along the path. When the wolves ere past me I will give the signal. Then let go the stones. After that you can go to them with the pike. Don't let one get through.” The men made every preparation to : 1 give the wolves a warm reception. In a few minutes the animals appeared, six of them, running close together. As they reached the narrow path they fell into single file without lessening their speed. As they ran tney gave occasional short yelps. Their tongues were hanging out and there was foam about their mouths and gleaming teeth. Without an upward glance they ran in between the wall and the rushing, foaming water. | “Now for them!” shouted Dave. ' With a j’ell the men sent down a shower of stones on the unsuspecting pack. With howls of pain and surprise the wolves looked up and saw their foes. Down wftit their tails and they tried to retreat; but they were in a trap. One by one they were pushed off into the hurrying water. Only the leader of the pack was left alive. He had been knocked into the water by a stone, but had managed to gain a footing on two logs that were floating close together. As the logs drifted apart, he mounted the larger, on which he crouched, a picture of abject fear. Tho log began to move slowly toward the narrows. Nearer and nearer it camo to the mighty mass of water pouring out through the gorge. The wolf backed to the far end of the log and crouched there, shivering. "I hate a wolf worse than poison,” said Job Nelson, "but I can’t see that brute scared plumb to death before being drowned." "Neither can I, Job,” said the foreman, and he sure put up a good fight for it.” The circling current brought the log to a point just below where the men stood. With a spring, Job landed on the lower path. He stretched out his pole and drew the log and its frightened occupant to the shore. Then he quickly rejoined his comrades. “Now, boys,” he said, “that beggar must pass you all. Anyone who wants him can have him." Realizing that he was free, the wolf leaped ashore and (douched along the path with one eye on the men above. Not a hand was raised against him. On reaching the divide he struck off at a swift lope and disappeared from view. “Come, boys,” st. I Dave sharply, “get those logs going again! We’ve lost enough time already.—Youth s Comuanion.

POWER OF THE SUBMARINE ' So Far as Its Guns Are Concerned, It Is Just About the Weakest Thing Afloat. The first and most striking fact about the submarine is its capacity to enter into and operate in waters that aro tidvorsoly commanded. I But. once in those waters, the power of the submarine is extraordinarily limited. Indeed, its capacity to onter those waters can also bo limited. Tho uso of nets, of mines and of patrols—especially when assisted by aircraft —these, at eny focal point which submarines coming or going must pass, can do much to obstruct their free passage. The narrower the waters the easier tlieir control by these means, and even in comparatively open waters great destruction can be and has been done by surface craft upon them. Apart, altogether, from tho dangers to which tho submarine is exposed, what is its value when it is at work in hostile waters? It has two weapons —the torpedo and the gun. It can carry but few torpedoes—few, that is, compared with the number of rounds of gun ammunition that it can stow away. The torpedo, too, is an uncertain weapon at tho best of times, particularly uncertain when aimed while the submarine is submerged. Wherever it is possible, then, tho ! 1 captain of the submarine has done his , work with his guns. But as a gunned ship, Arthur H. Pollen writes in the North American Review, the subma- | rlne is the weakest thing afloat. Hence ' 1 its guns can bo used only against un , armed craft. It dare not approach any ; I armed ship on the surface at all. If it b has to approach an armed ship sub-1 merged, its speed of approach is great-) ly limited. The highest submerged I speed does not exceed the half-power | speed of the slowest warship. Hence | speed and a high standard of vigilance j in ships which are armed make them : altogether Immune from submarine attack except in rare cases, when, by pure chance, their course takes them within the submarine’s striking radius. The point Is that if the ship is armed the submarine must keep submerged, and if it keeps submerged its maneuvering speed is low, its capacity to get within striking distance is very limited, and its weapon very uncertain. If the ship it intends to strike is both at speed and accompanied by destroy-1 1 ers of fast craft, the area of danger to the submarine and the intensity of the vigilance are increased, and the danger from submarines becomes altogether negligible. Safety First in London. i H. H. Kohlsaat, the Chicago pub- . Usher, registered at a hotel in London and was assigned to a room on next to the top floor. The following morning he rang for a bellboy. When there was no response to the second call he lifted the telephone receiver and waited in vain for "Are you there?” Failing to establish any communication with the office, he dressed and started for the office to register indignation. The elevator wasn’t running. He began to walk down. On tho fourth landing he met a housemaid and asked in strong Chicago language what was the matter ‘ with the hotel. "Well, sir, you see, sir,” came the answer, "the Zeppelins were reported and we were all ordered to the cellar for safety.” Then Mr. Kohlsaat’s language grew still stronger, and he completed his remark by saying: "Well, I'm on the next to the top floor, and I wasn’t warned." "No, sir,” was the bland reply 1 ; "bht you see, sir, you don’t come under the employers’ liability act, sir.” , What Cathedrals Mean. James Lane Allen has avowed that his purpose in writing “A Cathedral Singer,” the naw romance, is to establish the new Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York more securely in the heart of the nation. Nothing that man has ever been able to build, he says, is loved for so many reasons as a cathedral, it is loved for its spiritual meaning, for the arts that enter into its structure, for the action of nature upon it through sunlight and rain, and the brief mortality of the blossom on its walls. But it is above all the literature which gathers about a cathedral, Mr. Allen says, that makes it loved, link-; ing it to innumerable human lives and transfiguring it to human affection. 1 American literature entering the service of our great cathedral can complete its destiny as an American cathedral, Mr. Allen believes. . Much Work to Make Helmet. | ( Sixty-four distinct operations are t necessary in turning out one of the , plain steel helmets worn by French soldiers. Tho first step is stamping ' out disks from larke sheets of steel. A ‘ special machine is used for this pur- s pose, exerting a pressure of 150 tons, s and capable of cutting out 5,000 steel l disks a day. Each disk is placed under a shaping machine, which presses the r disk into the form of a helmet with a , broad rim. Polishing and cutting machines remove all irregularities in the j helmet, after which holes are punched , in the crown, some for vantilation purposes, others for fastening on the regimental crest. Each helmet is cleaned ' and dipped in a special mixture, which 1 makes it a dull, inconspicuous bluish gray. A lining and leather chin straps , 1 are then fastened on, and the helmet i is complete. Since the French army 1 has been protected with ths helmds < the number of deaths due to wounds In tho head has decreased to a remark-! able extent.—Pearson’s Weeklv

than I ever was and recommend your remedies to all my friends. ’’—Mrs.Lena Wynn, 2812 E. 0 Street, Richmond,Va. While Change of Life is a most critical period of a woman’s existence, the annoying symptoms which accompany it may be controlled, and normal health restored by the timely use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Such warning symptoms are a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, I backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation i of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness. For these abnormal conditions do not fail to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. o DON'T NEGLECT KIDNEYS. Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer’s Prescription, Overcomes Kidney Trouble. It is now conceded by physicians I that the kidneys should have more 'attention as they control the other organs to a remarkable degree and do ' a tremendous amount of work in re- ; moving the poisons and waste mat-, ter from the system by filtering the blood. The kidneys should receive some assistance when needed. We take less exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brick-dust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately, to avoid more serious trouble. An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. Klln.er’s prescription used in private practice and it , re to bcne.’h you. (a bottle from yoir druggist. However, if you wish first to get thin great, preparation send ion cents to Dr. Kilmer A Co., Dinghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the Daily Democrat.) —Advt.
