THE BANNER TIMES, GREENCASTLE, INDIANA. FRIDAY AUGUST J) I#95

By CHARLES C. LEWIS (M. QUAD). (Copyright, IS'Jj, by Charles H. Lewis.) Tho winter of 1854-5 lias ever since been referred to liy tlio settlers of northera Minnesota as “tho wolf winter,” and there are hundreds of people living whose adventures during those long, cold months would thrill the listener Up to the middle of September the weather was hot and dry. It then turned cold, and potatoes were frozen in the hill before they could bo dug. On the last day of the month snow fell to the depth of six inch . and though it molted away after a few days the whole month of October was cold and drear, anil ice formed every single night of the month. On tho 3d of November it began snowing again, and tho Hakes continued to fall for four days and nights Then it came on so terribly cold that horses, cattle, sheep and hogs were frozen to death on every hand.

V. K HL’SHGD FOK THE CAIUV. snow was 5 l inches deep on tho level, but in many places drifts had formed which did not disappear until Juno of tho next year. My father had a pioneer’s claim nine miles north of what was then called Arnold's t urners, a hamlet of a dozen shops and houses. Wo were directly on tho highway, but so blocked was tho road with snow that nothing could pass over it until a crust was formed on the surface. This did not occur until the end of November. Then came a warm day, with rain, a change again at night, and there was a crust, on the snow strong enough to bear up a team of horses. At that dato them was an abundance of wild game in the country, and it was an everyday matter to sight a wolf or bear While tho snow lay so deep on the earth there was little fear of wild animals, but on the very night tho crust formed wo found ourselves subjected to a new danger. Our shelters for tho horses, cows, pigs and poultry had been made snug before tho cold weather came, and wo had not lost a fowl up to Deo. 1. On the night of that date, it being almost as light as day outdoors, the family was aroused from sleep by tho scream of a panther close at hand. Before any one was out of bed we heard tho boast on the roof. After three or four minutes lie was joined by a second, and while the pair ran over the roof, digging into the frozen snow hero and there ami tearing at tho stone chimney, three other panthers made an attack on the cow shed. A part of this shed was devoted to tho cow and a part to three pigs and a score of chickens. As soon as the cow scented tho wild beasts she began bellowing in affright, and tho pigs squealed and the hens cackled to add to tho hullabaloo. But for the frozen snow the panthers must have been through the roof of tho shed. After several vain attempts to get down to the boards they leaped to the ground and tried thedoor. It was a rude affair, but stout enough to resist them, and after raving about for half an hour they gave it up and joined those seeking to come at us in the cabin. There were a door and two windows, the latter having only lower sashes and bars nailed over the outside. When they found they could not get in by way of the roof, tho five beasts tried door and windows. Father shot uinl killed one which was hanging to tho bars of the back window, and the noses of two or three others wore badly burned by powder sprinkled at the bottom of tho door and exploded with a coal from tho fireplace as the boasts sngffud and growled and gnawed at the wood like rats. We w re besieged for two long hours, ami the .ill iir ended in something well worth seeing Tho four panthers started to go away together, but in the clear space between tho house and tho cow shod they fell to fighting All were full grown, and we could see every detail from tho window. It was nbattle royal, each beast fighting on his own hook and against the other three, and it continued for perhaps half an hour. When it ended, one panther lay dead, and tho others were so badly hurt that they could hardly drag themselves away. Father realized that this attack would be followed by others, and next day was spent strengthening cabins and sheds and making loopholes to lire through. Tho skins had been removed from the two panthers and their bodies left on the snow about a hundred feet west of the house. At 4 o’clock in tho afternoon, as father and 1 were at work in the cow shed, we heard a snarling and fighting of beasts, and at once fastened tho door and rushed for the cabin. Wo were scarcely inside before it was surrounded by wolves. A pack numbering fully a hundred had come out of the forest to the west, making straight for tho cabin. Had they not encountered the carcasses and stopped to devour them father and 1 would have been cut off. Tho snow About the cabin, except at the windows and doors, was within throe feet of the saves. The wolves, therefore, had no trouble in mounting to the roof. The oack divided and attacked the three

buildings at once, and tor two houn the noise was so great that wo had to shout to each other in tho cabin. At the end of that time tho whole pack gathered to assail tho door. Time and again they came against it with a shock which jarred tiie whole structure and made things crash, and father at length decided to open lire. Ho had hesitated to do this for fear tho scent and taste of blood would render the beasts more desperate. He knocked over a wolf as fast us he could load and tire, and no sooner did an animal fall than he was set upon and devoured. Fifteen of them had boeonie the victims of bullets and of tho hunger of their own kind before the rest of the pack drew off and left us to pass the remainder of tho night in peace. Next morning we were frightened and helpless witnesses of a tragedy. The bad weather had overtaken a peddler at the Scandinavian settlement to the east of us. After being detained many days he had mounted tho body of his wagon on runners and set out for Arnold’s Corners. He had a pair of horses attached to the sleigh, and having no fear < f the wolves by day had left the settlement soon after breakfast. At !) o’clock, when within a mile of our cabin, with the road running through a dense wood, a puck of wolves had rushed out upon him. We heard the shouts of the man and the howling of tho wolves and rushed outdoors. Tho horses were coming on tho dead run, with the peddler t|t. idir.g up and lashing about him wii.i his whip. Had tho man boon able to guide his team ho might have driven them to the door and boon saved, but they were wild with terror and could not bo pulled aside. As the outfit passed us wo saw wolves in front, on each sido and behind, a pack numbering TO or 80. Twenty rods below the house tho sleigh struck the top of a stump thrusting itself above tho snow and was shattered. One horse broke loose and ran away, but the other was thrown down. Four or five wolves pursue d tho loose horse and soon dragged him down, and the others sprang upon the man and the horse left behind. Father got his rillo and began tiring into the pack, but the hungry beasts were-not to bo frightened away. Inside of a quarter of an hour nothing was left to bo eaten, and licking their chops in satisfaction the wolves trotted away. Of the unfortunate man wo found 6 few scraps of clothing, half a dozen metal buttons from his garments and a tin tobacco box. There were a few of the larger bones of the horses, but not a shred of flesh. It was July before tho peddler was identified as a citizen of Sauk Rapids. From the night of Dec. 1 to tho 20th we were visited by wolves every night, and if the days were cloudy and dark the beasts came prowling around soon after noon. One day at noon father shot a dear about a quarter of a mile from the house. He shouldered the carcass to bring it in, but had not taken ten steps when a great wolf sprang up and seized tho deer and dragged it down, ami it was scarcely on the ground beforo four more wolves arrived to claim a share of the feast. For three days beforo Christmas tho weather was mild and the snow melting, Init it was still so deep that only the deer could make away through it. Christmas night of 1854 was the coldest night ever known" in Minnesota before or since. In the Scandinavian settlement ten people froze to death in their cabins, being short of fuel. Our horses pulled through the night, but cow and pigs and fowls succumbed to the cold and were found stark and stiff in tho morning. From (1 o’clock in the evening until noon next day the frost was at work in stumps and trees and logs until it seemed as if wo were under a fire of musketry. So many foxes, raccoons, woodchucks and squirrels froze to death that night that the sight of one was a raro thing for several years after. It was tho same with all the game birds. At Arnold's Corners every head of live stock was frozen to death, and out cf 50 inhabitants only seven or eight escaped frost bites. From Christmas to New Year’s the thermometer never marked less than 15 degrees below during the clay, and tho cold was, of course, several degrees

A GKKAT WOLF KPHANQ L P. lower at night. On each of theso nights wo were visited by a pack of wolves, and the programme was always tho samo. They would make desperate attempts to get at the horses and into the cabin, and father would shoot live or six. Every animal shot would be devoured, and the hunger of tho pack being satisfied it would gradually dissolve. Our experience was that of many other pioneers. It was estimated that a thousand wolves were killed that winter, but there were not a dozen instances where a pelt was secured. On tho other hand, about 50 people were devoured by the ferocious beasts. Men were attacked in their own dooryards as they were chopping wood, and instances were reported whore the wolves broke their way into cabins and killed whole families. On the 13th of January the snow was five feet deep, with a hard crust ever it, and tho thermometer standing about 6 degrees below zero. Wo fiad been living for the last week on corn

meai ami wnier, aim a coupie ui iiuys more would finish the meal. Father decided that he would go to Arnold's Corners for a supply of provisions, and I was to go along with him. Wo had a homemade sled for the horses, and as the day promised to be full of sunshine and no wolves had been seen for several days it was not looked upon as a dangerous journey. We should have been home before noon but for an accident happening in the town. In making a turn the sled was broken anil had to be repaired, and this detained us til) midaftcruoon. When about ready to start, a Scandinavian girl, who had been working at tbo Corners and wanted to go home, entreated father to give her a lift. Slio would remain at our house overnight, and next day, if all was right, make the rest of her way on foot. When wo left the hamlet, father had his loaded rifle and plenty of ammunition, and he had bought for me at the store a light ax. It had clouded up 11 fore we started, but I at least had in ,r of tho wolves until we reached a point five miles from home. Father was driving and letting the horses take it easy, when wo heard tho howl of a wolf in the woods to the right. It wasn’t two minutes before six large wolves were following us, and we could hear tho howls of others coming up Then my father handed tho reins ever to me and said: ‘‘We are snre to be attacked beforo long. Keep the horses in check until I tell you to let them go and then give ail your attention td^uiding them.’ I was a boy of 14 and perfectly able to handle the team, but for a couple of minutes I was so weak that I could hardly sit. up. Father gave me a few words of encouragement, and when ho saw that. I was pulling myself togotlu r ho got out tho ax and passed it to tho girl and said: ‘T will use tho rifle, and you must use the ax. Kneel down win re you arc and strike at every wolf which attempts to leap into tbo sled. ” The girl turned white as chalk and closed her eyes, but father shook her savagely by tbo shoulder and declared that she must do her part, or he would throw her to tho wolves. The fear of such a thing brought hack her nerve, and she was ready long before wo were attacked. It was not until there were 15 wolves in tho pack that they got their courage up to make a dash. As they came on father fired and killed oue, but the others did not stop. Another one was bowled over when within 20 feet of tho sled, and then I got word to let tho horses go. I saw only what took place ahead. Had there been a foot less of snow there would have been scores of stumps to look out for As it v.’as, I had clear sailing over a track as level as the frozen surface of a lake. Just as the horses dashed forward three wolves sprang out from tho right and two from tho left and leaped and fell short. Ono of them was run over by tho sled, but the other four continued racing alongside and now and then leaping at the horses’ noses. As tho wolves came up from behind they tried to leap into tho rough box fastened to tho sled. The broad backed, stout aimed Scaudinavian girl faced to tbo rear, and sbe could not have asked fora better weapon than tho ax F’athor had an eyo on her as he loaded and fired, and a hundred times afterward I heard him praise that girl’s coolness and pluck. He declared that she never missed a blow. Whenever she struck, she split a wolf’s head open or lopped off a paw, and each blow was accompanied by a yell which could have been heard a mile away. When we were within half a mile of the cabin, there wore yet 20 wolves around us. Father fired a last shot, took the lines from mo and motioned me to use his rifle as a club. The girl was using the ax and 1 the rifio when father made the turn out of the road. Mother had heard tho firing and shouting and stood in tho open door with a blazing firebrand in her hand. At tho door father pulled on tho lines with all his strength, and as the horses were cheeked he shouted for us to jump. Jump we did, hut. it was a close shave. I was bitten on tho leg and tho girl on tho arm as we tumbled into tho cabin, and mother pounded back tho wolves with the firebrand. As tho door was socured the wolves fell upon tho horses, dragged them down, and half an hour later only a few clean picked bones and scraps of harness were left to toll the tale. In the Drinking Days. A once well known individual who had lived every day of his life and gained from it a great experience, left tho following advice—and little else— to his sous, ”Drink slow, do not mix your liquor, novor sit with your backs to the tiro. ” It was an exaollent procepl for tho era in which it was given—the times when tho dining room door was kept locked that there might bo no shirking tho claret, and when the only chance at the circuit moss of escaping intoxication was to drop under the table "like tho rest”—as Lord Cockburu tells us ho did—and lie quiet—nay, even when our judges resented that discredit should bo brought on drinking by misconduct. Everybody drank, and much too much in those days, but especially the upper classes. A well known politician discharged his coachman for overturning him in his carriage. “I had certainly drunk too much, sir,” urged the poor man, “but I was not very drunk, and gentlemen, you know, sometimes get drunk.” ‘‘I don’t say you were very diymk for a gentleman,” returned his master, “but you wore exceedingly drunk for a coachman!”—London Illustrated News. A Great Victory. In the battle of Marengo 58,000 men participated, and of that number 13,000 were killed or wounded, about 22 per cent. Napoleon thought Marengo his greatest victory. Ho always kept throughout life the uniform he wore ou that day.

MOW TO PREVENT '‘RIGGS’ DISEASE.” A Suvc Deal rover of Teeth, Seldom Detected Until Too I.Mte. Riggs' disease of the gums is a recession of the flesh from the teeth scarcely perceptible to the sufferer. The enamel of the teeth is several times thicker above and below the skin than under it. What is called the normal line of the gum, the dentine or enameled portion, is not exposed, and nature provides tho heavier shell coating,to protect the visible part not only from cold and dimatic conditions, but from the danger generated by small microbes floating about the month after eating. When the gums recede from the teeth toward the root, tin* dentine is left a helpless prey to every acid the mouth contains, and decay begins at the tup. cutting off all hope of saving the lower j part. This recession is rarely visible except to the dentist. Its probable effect is slight bleeding of the gums whenever a stiff brush is used, while the teetli set '.a- ' ingly remain in their normal condition. The cause of the irritation is tartar j poison. The saliva of the mouth is partly formed of phosphate of lime, which, by | chemical action, is converted into tartar. This fastens itself upon the roots of the teeth, and irritating tho tender 1 membrane causes a bleeding, sore condition. In this weakened, porous condition these innumerable micro lies that lark in the cavities of the mouth float out from their hiding places and seize upon ; the wounded line of skin. This is the fatal condition, and only the most careful treatment dislodges them. The tartar substance becomes poisonous, and the whole eats its way into the gums, which slough and gradually docn ... •. Of course this disease is not common i to every mouth. It is caused primarily by an acid condition of the saliva, hereditary in some constitutions, and its , earliest arre ter is an an* iseptic. Should, however, any bleeding (X'cur in brushing, a dentist's help should be called in. The treatment for it continues from six mouths P a year, and even then the disease is only arrested; the re-estab-lishment of the gum is never assured. The nature of the disease is so iusidij ous that prudent Women should see to it that the mouth is frequently examined. Any dentist can tell whether a person is j inclined to this condition and tit once ! remove the tartar and advise an antisep- | tic that destroys the microbes. In fact, some such preparation should be frequently used to retain a healthy | condition of every part of the month. A 2 per cent solution of salicylic acid j is especially recommended by the profession.

How to Cook Plank Shod at Home. Take a long narrow baking pau and put it on the stove with a piece of beef suet to try out slowly. Split a roe shad ms for broiling, dry it well inside and out with u clean white cloth, rub it with quite a little salt and after rubbing tho pau with the melting suet lay the fish, skin up, in the bottom and set it in a hot oven. Let it brown and sizzle till it is puffed in tiny blisters all over the top, and then you cim be pretty sure it is done. Slide it out on a hot platter and serve garnished with lemon and parsley. Cooked in this way, all thericli juices of tiie fish are preserved, and there is in it so much odor through tiie house. How to Dress Store Windows. Always dress a side window as much as possible toward the street, so that it may lie easily seen from the pavement. Arrange the tickets at a slight angle toward tiie street. In dressing a glove window avoid showing the palms. Let the backs and tiie buttons only be visible. If there is a coarse or inferior piece of skin in a glove, you will always find it in the palm. Gloves can be stuck on the window by breathing heavily on the longest linger and pressing it against the glass. They will remain fast for weeks, provided yourwindi >w does not ‘‘steam. ” ” Tricky" window displays are sometimes very taking. Keep windows clean. Have the lower parts rubbed over two j or three times during the day and alj ways after a shower. Do not economize in tickets. New tickets make old stock appear fresh. Old tickets make new stock appear stale. Use black or white tickets throughout. They are more striking than oolora. Light np the windows early, before dusk. It adds effect, and, moreover, this its usually the time when customers are about. Slow DoafiieHg Often Develop* In Soldier*. In battle tiie auditory nerves, having been unduly excited by the firing of guns, etc., the soldier ou coming out of an engagement very frequently suffers from temporary deafness, though no organic or structural disease is developed. Artisans who are engaged in boiler making become in time quite deaf from tiie same excitement of tiie auditory nerve produced by the hammering of the iron to which they are subjected, and in their case deafness becomes unfortunately chronic, the auditory nerve being destroyed.
