Now and then In wanderings through the mountain and forest one cornea up on a gigantic blockish brown deer which by reason of the great length of Us ycllowlah gray legs stands higher than a tall horse. It la clothed In coarse, bristly hair, longest on the neck mid shoulders, and It has a rather ugly overhanging nose which distinguishes it at ouce from all other kinds of deer. From the throat of the male hangs a long hair covered appendage known aa the “bell," and In the fall and winter ne has also a pair of wldeapreadlng antlcra. very heavy and much flattened or “pinmated." lie stalks the forest through undergrowth and over fallen trunks like a king of glnnts, or, If alarmed, lie speeds away at an amaz ingly swlfl swinging trot and with a crushing which resembles the sound of falling trees. Such is the moose, the largest of all deer, living or extinct. The moose Is chiefly an animal of the northern woods, the southern limit of Its range heltvt the head of Green riv er, Wyoming.

General Scott was a verita ble martinet In enforcing military dis cipline. After llsyes was seated iu the commander's headquarters Scott said, "Colonel Hayes, I have received no re port of your expedition against the padre." “I did not think It worth while,” sold Hayes. "Every officer of the army Is required to make s full re port of everything to his superior offi cer. Please make your report verbal ly.” Hayes began by saying that he struck the padre's trail on a certain day, fol lowed It for two days, and on the third dsy, while his command was resting at noon and taking their siesta, the old padre came down on them. The “lioyti" gathered themselves together and whip- ped the Mexicans off, killing quite a number of the padre's command. His own loss was Insignificant—one killed and three wounded. "Surprised you, eh?” queried Scott. “Yes; we were not expecting trim.” "Where were your pickets'/" "Did not have any." "What!" shouted General Scotl.

But the moose is able to travel well at all seasons, and even In deep snow Ids long legs enable him to move at n pace which astonishes any hunter who tries to run him down on snow- shoes. A wild, free life is the only one on which a moose can live and thrive, tu captivity it is much loss nervous than most deer mid is disposed to he gentle and affectionate. But. as a rule, it will live but a short time, even though it gets the same food which It had iu its native woods. It may appear to relish its food, hut it will grow to no great size and in a short time will probably die of inflammation of the stomach.
