How Boston Girl Drove Star
ing Youth From Street Car.
From the BOSTON .Inurnal

Ladies who have been vexed by
the staring of young men in horse
cars will be pleased to learn of a
plan that has been invented for
abating the nuisance and of the re-
suit of its. fir public trial. The
discoverer is young lady of attract
i've personal appearance, who, per
ceiving that the youths wle had
f'',m time to time annoyed her were
scrupulously careful about their at
tire, conceived the idea of giving
them the notion that something was
wrong Herewith. Accordingly, the
other day, when she had borne or
ten minntes the unyielding stare of
one who sat upon the opposite side
of the car, she began to gaze intent
ly at point upon his coat situated
midway be 7een his neck and shoul-
der. Her look, at first careless, soon
became more intent; then trace OF
apprehension crept into it, finally 1t
was reinforced by amusement and a
slight smile animated her features.
The youth, who had at first respond
ed to her evident interest by an en-
gaging grin. began to look sober
when he w her earnestness, anu
when she smiled he made frantic ef-
forts TO look down his back and at
his coat collar, in which endeavor he
made ingenious contortions, but was
unable to see what was the matter
with him. The young ladies a:ten-
tion, however, became more concen-
trated and her amusement more
marked; he was sure he had run
against paint somewhere or that a
water bug or other interesting spec
linen was climbing up his person;
he withdrew his interest from the
lady and concentrated it upon him
self and felt the humid dews OF per
spiration coming out all over him.
AT length human endurance could
no longer resist the suspense and he
hurriedly left the car, followed by 8
gentleman who had observed the in
cident. He then betook himself to
a neighboring bar-room and called a
waiter and asked him what the deuce
was on his neck. Muffin, sah,"
responded the sable servitor. "Thank
goodnessr' said the youth, with a
sigh of relief; "the blamed thing
must have fallen uff," and when last
seen he was restoring the vanished
roses to his cheeks through the
agency Of that sweet boon to human
ity, whisky sour.

A Kentucky Gentleman.

How a Mother Cured Her Son
of Drunkenness.

In the instance Of which we write,
MANY were the bitter tears that had
been shed, and intercessions made.
But al failed until one was tried,
which / shall now relate:
A young man lived about two
miles from town, too far to 60 for
his morning drink; SO he had form
ed the habit of carrying along pair
of saddle bags, with a quart bottle
in each end to have filled. For a
while he hid them out; but they
were soon discovered. So he tries a
new plan. He leaves them in the
saddle bags in which he had brought
them, supposing that no enc would
find them. But mother is not so
easily .oiled as all that; they were
found. The mother, now seeing that
pleading did no good, resorts to
ratagem. She takes the bottles
from their hiding places after they
are emptied, and in their place puts
Hymn Book and Bible one in eth
er end. The young man not know
ing of the change, went to the sa-
loon to replenish. But, imagine his
chagrin, upon finding in che place of
his bottles, the Songs of Zion and
the Holy Bible. Whereupon a sable
brother standing by remarked: :
"C-you went to look TO- de deble
an foun' de Lord Jesus" And so
he did, Suffice - to say that, he is
Today one of the napplest men in all
the land. He is as sober as any
one; has blooming young wife, and
is living at home in contentment and
prosperity. j. L. t.

BAGGING AN OXFORD BE lR.

Mr.. II r. Goodwin OF Bethel, caught q
large bear in a trap, last week, at the foot
of Bear Mountain, In the town of Newry,
Oxford County. The bear managed To slip
the clog To which the trap chain was fas
tened, piece of a small tree five or six
inches In diameter and from four to six
feet long, Intended to retard the progress
of the bear through the woods. After
slipping his cog, the old fellow, being bur-
dened with nothing but twenty pound

mountains. When Mr.. Goodwin visited
his trap and found it gone, he at once fol-
lowed the trail. He soon found Bruin on
run over the hills, the trap chain jingling
and the brush cracking. He managed by
smart running To occasionally get glimpse
OF the bear and to get In running shot

grew hot. Bear and man grew excited,
with the rsttling shots, the breaking of
dry bushes and underbrush, the clinking
OF the trap and chain, and the growing
and gnashing OF the teeth of the bear, and
the almost audible breathing OF Goodwin,
AS he rushed along over the rocks aud logs
through the thick woods. After awhile
Goodwin got in shot between wind and
water and Bruiu stood on his head, turned

One Of the most abundant centres OF
the turkey supply for Lewiston aud Au-
burns Thanksgiving dinners Is Hartford,
ia Oxford County. Every year the COB
blers that have come from Hartford have
been plumper and fstter than the average
Thanksgiving fowl, aud are said TO have
sizzled aud steamed in remarkably large
number of Lewiston ovens. This year,
Hartford will be poorly represented in the
turkey supply. We met farmer last
Friday morning, who had driven in from
that town. "There are not" as he said,
"half nor quarter as many turkeys ip the
town as there were last year" A neigh
Dor who raised three big fiocks last year,
hasn't turkey-not even one for the boys
who are expected home from the city, un-
less they BUY one. Another neighbor has
about one quarter as many rs he had last
year. The cause Is ascribed 10 the wet
spring. Turkeys died rapidly. A large
number of frozen turkeys, from Vermont,
sre expected in the market. They can't
compete with Maine turkeys, either In
quality or price. The farmer who has the
turkeys is gong to get good price

Wentworth was the hero of the college
and the town, of course, and when it was
known how poor he was, an effort was
made to raise some money for him. There
were wealthy men who wanted to sub
scribe literally to fund for his benefit,
but the proud fellow refused to receive a
cent, saying when the matter was men
toned to him:
81 am not an object of charity. Give
your money to the poor"
And so Wentworth went on "working
like slave and living like pauper," but
in truth being self respecting gentleman.
He made his way through college, and,
as matter of course, such young man
made place for himself among men. If
were to mention his real name here,
many of my hearers would recognize it as
that of distinguished clergymen and
scholar, who. in spite of his added years,
is still strong for doing his duty

EDITOR Los ANGELES DAILY HERALD;
/ wish to call the attention of the po-
lice especially, as well as the public, to
a suspicious character roaming The streets
of Los Angeles. He has the habit Of fol-
lowing ladies not only when they are
alone, but even when they have escort,
from shopping places to their homes,
and from their homes into the business
portions of the city; and in one instance
known. attempted to gain entrance to
the residence Of respectable married
lady, after pursuing her many blocks
while she attempted to evade him by
leaving the customary route. Two or
three times escorts Of the ladies have at
tempted to capture the individual after
being released of their companions. but
he seems to have a peculiar facility Of
fleeing from sight He is described as a
tall man, with black mustache and
imperial, wearing salt and pepper suit,
a Derby hat, and carrying cane with
the air of dude" What are his OBJ
jects, his vocation, if he have any, are
as his conduct; but it is cer-
tain that he has made himself terror to
a number Of respectable wives and young
ladies to such an extent as to cause them
to dread On appearance upon the street.
and to keep close watch upon the bars
and bolts Of their houses. He is fit
subject for surveillance, and If his OBJ
noxious ways are not put an end to in
some way there is very likely mischief
to happen. CITIZEN.
