" Bloody Jack's' Last Bear Fight.

BLOODY JACK (Jamcs Henderson,, who
formerly lived at Table Creek, north of
your city, met with sad accident ycstcr-
day. While out hunting he came in con
tact with a grizzly bear. AT first he tried
to avoid the beast, but the animal was
suffering with hunger, and Jack saw it
was Impossible TO beat a retreat Jack
stood his ground, and the bear ran with
rapidity, with his jaws outstretched,
ready to take Jack in. Jack let two
charges out of a repeating-ritle into him,
at distance of forty feet, but it only en-
ragged the animal, and on he came. Jack
drew his toothpck, or a skin hand, and
was read for action. The bear gathered
him in his claws, and began his savage
work, and Jack kept his arm close, and,
using his knife, plunged it into the bear
thirty seven times, and all this time the
animal had his claws settled into poor
Jacks flesh, and, with the loss OF blood
on Jacks side he became faint. The bear
drew his claws, and with them took out
bunch of flesh from Jacks side, leaving
the ribs exposed. Just al this time an ola
mountaincer was close upon the scene,
and began to let the lead into old bruln.
There were twelve bullets put in and
through him, and he fell litclcss to the
ground. Jack was lashed to pony and
carried to his camp. The bear weighed
SIS pounds. We will send the meat 70

SONG OF LOVE.

Is IT foolish for one to sing of love,
As he sang in the bygone days?
As foolish, ween, as to praise the Lord
With the same old song of praise.
Though the hair grow gray, and the hand les'
firm,
And the once bright eyes grow dim,
The heart, be sure, may be just young,
And as full of love the hymn.
True wisdom, hat crowns the brow oil the old,
Without love could not be;
And he who learns truly II ust love what h,
learns,
And learn with humility.
II the grandcst study Of men be man,
And Love be not teacher, then
The hope of the future will end in this,
That man will be nothing to men!
And yet, alas it is possible
TO fling this bond aside,
To drown the heart in selfish creed,
The soul i'll conscious pride.
All! how we may pity these lonely ones,
As the world to them grows cold;
For only such as these are they
Who can ever be really old.
The Song of Love, the mystic chain
That links the present and past,
And, rising to grander and purcr heights,
Links present and future at last
This little song is the one sure bond
OF our common humanity,
And shall never grow old while time shall last,
Nor yet through eternity.
And while in ourselves we keep it pure,
This Love Song Of olden time,
We need never fear that our hearts will beat
To measure les sublime.
Thoughts, words and deeds, however grand,
In their brief hour pass away;
But this simple, low -tonediSong of Love
Hath a marvellous power alway.

Longevity in New Hampshire.

A CONCORD correspondent of the Boston
Journal presents some statistics to show
that New Hampshire people are long
lived. Possibly if the number OF young
people, particularly of the male SEX wh"
remove from the State were taken into
consideration, the proportion Of old peo-
ple who die there would not be as great.
These are his figures: one hundred
and sixty two men and 1913 women over
ninety years of age have died in New
Hampshire in six years from Jan. l,
1869, to Dec. 81, 1915. OF this number,
sixteen-eight men and eight women
passed their century. Sullivan county
furnished the largest number i'll proper
ton to population. Bclknap furnished
a larger proportion of women than any
other county fourteen women anu h'c
men. The lake county seems, Tor some
unexplained reason, to be most favorable
to the longevity of the female sex. VI
the centenarians, the oldest was LOG years;
another had passed the 105th year; and
another 105 years, less one day; one
woman was from Rockingham County,
four men and one woman from Stratford,
one man and one woman from Carroll,
and the same from Belknap, one man
from Merrimack, one man from SutilVah'
two women from Cheshire, and one woman
each from Hillsboro and Grafton Inc
