When the sky is dark, and the rain pours down, Awful Experience of a Bridal Pair A STORY of thrilling interest comes from Cook county, down the north shore of Lake Superior, the most north-easterly division of Minnesota. It relates to the home going of a newly-married couple who were attacked by wolves and had to ride and fight for their lives. A kind of Providence seems to have protected the settlers and others who reside in or have reason to traverse the territory that stretches from Duluth north to the majestic Rainy river, for thus far no human being, as far as known, has been killed by these fierce forest tramps, the four-footed outlaws of the wilderness. But at least a dozen men in this territory have thus far this winter had to spend a night in trees to save themselves from being torn to pieces. Woodmen recognize it as dangerous to be abroad in the woods after nightfall or before daybreak in the morning. The adventure of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Carlson is the most exciting story that has come out of the north woods in a year or two. Mr. Carlson is a homesteader who has been holding down a claim about ten miles from the shore of Lake Superior. He has been moderately prosperous, and blue-eyed Lena Hanson, who got off the boat from Port Arthur, Ont., a few weeks ago to visit friends in Grand Marius, made such an impression on him that he at once decided that life without her would be dreary and unsatisfactory indeed. Carlson was badly smitten. He easily secured an introduction to her, for all people in Cook county are neighbors and neighborly, and the formalities of polite life in the big cities have no place there. They live 20 miles apart, but still they are neighbors. Lena Hanson admired the stalwart young homesteader. He looked like a man who could and would protect her. She little knew how soon he would be put to the test. Their courtship lasted but a few days, and they decided to marry at once. Mr. and Mrs. Carlson set out for the homestead at four o'clock in the afternoon, one hour after they had been quietly married. The sky was overcast and night was sure to set in early. Their means of transportation was a homemade sleigh, to which was attached the work team of their master. The team moved with the freedom peculiar to work horses when they are headed toward the barn. At about 5:30 the bride and groom were still three miles from the cabin, and the woods were dark and silent. The conversation and laughter of the couple were suddenly stillled by the howl of a wolf. Off to the right of the road, about two city blocks distant, came the ominous note again and again. The howls of other wolves in different directions were heard. The cheeks of the bride blanched. She had never heard the howl of a wolf before, but she knew what it was without asking the question. Mr. Carlson could see the unusual pallor of her face even in the night. He said nothing, but whipped the horses into a gallop, and reaching down into his overcoat, drew forth a heavy revolver. Within five minutes the woods rang with the howls of many wolves. The first howl had come from the leader of the pack. It was the call to plunder and kill, so well known to the people of the north woods. The howl of wolves under such circumstances plants a feeling of deep dread into the heart of even those well prepared to defend themselves. But it also has the effect of causing one to prepare to fight with great calmness and determination, if escape in no other way is possible. There are other dangers to which men may be exposed that may cause them to get too excited to act to the best advantage, but there is in the pack call of the wolf a quality that composes man and makes him calm and effective when other dangers may cause him to lose his head at the beginning. "Do you think they will attack us?" asked Mrs. Carlson, in tremulous tones of her husband. "Sure," was the brief reply. "Have you got another revolver?" asked the bride, after a pause. Carlson shook his head. "Well, I can drive, you know, if that will be any help." Carlson flashed a look of pride at his bride and nodded. The horses were galloping, and they needed no whip. The animals were mad with fear of the desperate brutes that were now gathered for the attack. The wolves, about seven or eight in number, loped easily behind the sleigh, drawing steadily nearer, their eyes bleaming with a seeming light of conscious triumph. Caution is a deep-eated quality in the timber wolf, and this pack drew on slowly to their quarry, but prepared to strike when their leader should give the signal.

Statements which surprised the Methodist Episcopal ministers were made by the colored preachers of that body yesterday morning opposing the possible appointment of colored bishops in the Methodist Episcopal church. The plan of colored bishops, which is now under consideration by the annual conference, to be presented to the general conference next year, was the subject of a paper by Rev. R. E. Gillum, pastor of the Centennial church on 27th and Wash streets, the largest colored church of that denomination in St. Louis. "We do not want a bishop." Mr Gillum said, "who would only be a bishop when he was with Negroes and nowhere else. That would make the Negro membership of the church the laugh-stock of all the other members in the country. The white membership has been annoyed by the Negro officeseeker ever since 1884, but it is only these self-aggrandizing men want it.

If the editor makes one there is a lawsuit, swearing and the smell of sulpher, but if the doctor makes one there is a funeral, cut flowers and a smell of varnish. A doctor can use a word a yard long with knowing what it means but if the editor uses it he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see anothe- es man's wife he charges far the visit, but if the editor goes to see another man's wife he gets a charge of buckshot. When a doctor gets drunk its a case of "overcome by heat." and if he dies it is heart trouble. When an editor gets drunk it's of too much booze, and if he dies it's a case of delirium tremens any old college can make a doctor. You can't make an editor, he has to be born.
