EXCITING MOOSE HUNT Remarkable incident in the ',Ives of Railway Path Finders A letter from Mr. Charles J. Bruce, one of the engineers' layitig out the late of the proposed Hudson Bay rata way, contains • the description of a limn and a moose, illustrative of the fearlessness of the individuals who make up thette path -finder parties in the far north. There are three sur- veying parties at work between the Pas and York factory, and tbe scene • described occurred on the Nelson river. Tee country Is. a sportsman's paradise, literally swarming with game. The adventure in question oc- curred about the latter part of July, and is told. as follows: • "'Silent' Jack Labelle and Scotty were exploring„ a creek running into the bay in front of the camp. Paddling around a point they came Into a little • lake, and in. the middle of the lake a young bull :moose was swimming .across. • They didel have a gun, knife, or weapon of any kind, but that didn't • have • any effect on 'Silent' Jack, a Maniwale . boy, by the -way, and our head packer.' He wanted titat moose, and he was going to get him. In spite of the frenzied protests of 'Scotty,' who was sure he was goiug to be up. set and drowned, Jack laid the canoe alongside of the .Moose and went for him with a paddle. The - first blow sheared the moose's ear off as though It bad been done with a • knife. Tim second smashed the. paddle • to smith- ereens on its horns. Nothing' put out by this, Jack caught the horns and pulled the canoe on tb,e animal's neck, to try and keep its head wider water and drown it. But the moose was too• strong, and it :took some quick pad- • dle erode from the now • hysterical Scotty in the how to • keep .front cap- sizing. ' The contestants were getting near the shore by tins tinte and Jack, fearful of losing thefresh meat for three days which that lively animal reeresented, and regardless of a little thing like a disparity of three hundred • pounds between his weight ,and the Weight of the moose, went overboard an the oreaturea butt. Once be was In aole caarge of the canoe, Scotty bad ielsure to ebserie one of the liveliest duels he ever •iatw. • At times he was uncertain whether It was .Jack drown- ing the moose or the inotase.drowninn leek. Unfortunately the moose got .its feet on a sandbar which extended into the lake, and mice on solid _ground, .Shook Jack off With ease. 'As Labelle, with a badly ripped shirt where his late ,rival's horns had almost caught. him, with his lungs filled withwater, and his bah hal of mudawatched that roast matey, venisen• steak, moose pot pie, and broiled tongue disappear in the woods at forty miles an hour, he Justified his sobriquet of 'anent' Jack, for the things he said are not repeat- • able .nor printable,' . •. .

And Anna Belle al- lowed heraelf to be conducted. Then for two hours Hatfield sat dis- consolately beneath the spreading ma- ple and marveled at the unceasing, one-sided babale which came from the eylvan bower, rising and falling, droning and buzzing, huuuning, billing but never ceasing. Hatileld timed What he Judged to be the little man's sentence, and amide aolemn path at the grocery next night that they aver- aged three and seven -eighths minutes, Anna Belle, conquered in a night, man- aged .one e,omplete sentence at the close of the evening, elleiting the in- formation that the little man's hame was Warburton Sands, and tbat 10 was the tie* barber. After that it seemed to be the cold shoueler for Jack Hatfield, and the ex - twilled hand for Sands, the barber. Anna Belle had been simply swept off her feet by the torrent of words. She grew quiet, reserved, almost taciturn. When Mr, Sands called, she woul4 simply suggest "weather," qr "mine," and the tonsorial artist would begin while the belle leaned.her pretty heal back and listened. Things woie on until the matter seemed to have resolved into merely a duestion of the date of the mar- riage. • Hatfield had ceased all ef- fort, thouge he :was seriously consid- ering taking a mail-order course in loquacity. Sands, the barber, was at Anna Belle's arm night and day. Then at the Jonathan Rodneys again he brought the matter to a head. Hat: field saw him lead Anna Belle Into the bower once more. Jack very discern: solate, gravitated near. •Front tbe bower a terrific babble came to his ears: •4 •. "I love -I vow -it is for this -for- ever and eternally -ba the stars above us -hand in hand togetherdown the pattts-" Drawn irresistibly, Hatfield peeped into the bower. Anna Belle cowered in a corner, shrinking from, dodging the Niagara of word which came un- ceasingly from the barber: , • "Ti]] death do us 'part -upon my heart I say the end of time - never again to say good-bye-" • At sight of Hatfield, Anna. Belle gave a little scream and flung herself at the astounded had -bee. "Oh; Jack," she cried, "if you still care for me take me away. • You're suclra goed listener, Jack, arta' I want to do the talking," • Jack, who • was wiser that he ap- peared, merely grunted aud led her away. And from the bOwer came af- ter • them the voice of Warburton Sands, the barber: • • • "I pledge my undying fealty -ever and ever -until the sun grows cold - and then some." • 103 YEARS OF, AGE • Robert Cole, •living at Croydon, WiIIj be 103 years old next Christmas.
