found myself hobnobbing with bear
hunter in tho midst Of his traps the other
day. The hunter was Enoch r. Knapp
who lives on Bear river, small stream that
runs down from spur of the White noun
tain chain and empties into the Androscog-
gin at Newry. The bear hunters house Is a
neat cottage mt tho base Of Bear mountain,
around which the river runs The road
winds among steep hills and thiclSly wooded
mountains till 1t seams TO lose itself, and TO
lose you in the bargain.
This mountain has long been known as a
favorite resort for bears The farmers In
the vicinity do not try TO keep many sheep.
One Of them went up ON the mountain with
ayoke OF oxen to haul out some timber not
long ago. very largo and hungry bear
appeared on the scene and rushed at the
cattle with mouth open and eyes full Of
fury. The oxen snorted and started on a
wild galiop down the steep mountain.
BRILLIANT IDEA.
The farmers Judgment was as good as
his cattle's. He had nothing with which
TO defend himself and he had to think lively
to devise way OF escape. Heidi an anus
ing but brilliant thing. Running between
the oxen he caught hold Of the ring in the
yoke and dangled there until the oxen had
carried him to the foot Of the mountain and
out Of the reach Of tho bear The old
GROWER jumped and snarled around the
oxon's TANKS and tore their hides, but could
not reach the man between them hanging
on for dear life
Mr.. Knapp has blacksmith shop oppo-
site his house, whore he makes bear trap,
and shoes horses. His traps are ingeniously
made OF iron and steel, and one OF them
looks like Two stout wagon springs with a
pair of jaws in the middle. These jaws are
bands Of wrought iron with great steel teeth
riveted into them. Whom the Jaws are
opened and caught under the stout steel
springs, you sea trencher in he middle of
the machine. The object OF the boar hunter
!, to induce the bear to step his fore foot on
that tre1cher. The least pressure lifts the
catch and the jaws fly together with crush
ing force. The teeth In the jaws make this
kind of a trap bear-killer as well as a bear
catcher

some suckers or other kind of fish In the
river and hang 'em up in the cubby Then
1 try TO fix the trap so that the bear
will have to step on the trencher If he gets
the fish. A bear never steps on log In his
path, but always steps over it usually

over the log and into the trap

consumption of this drug, in its different
preparations and under different names,
is alarmingly on the increase, and is
carrying poverty and woe into thou
sands of households throughout the
land. The indifference of many tenn
perance people to this fact, and their
apparent unwillingness to discuss it,
has long been mystery to us. We be-
lieve, however, that the use of opium,
morphine or choral is far more PERM
cious and debasing in its moral and
physical effects than the use of tobacco !;
and certainly it must be pronounced a
greater evil than the drinking of sweet
cider and tea and coffee.
There can be little doubt that an i'm
moderate indulgence in tea and coffee
is injurious; so is the immoderate use
of ice-water; so is bad cookery, from
which people suffer incidentally. But
the assumption that the use of sweet
cider, tea or coffee leads to intemper-
ance is not sustained by any facts what
ever; it is a sentimental idea of certain
persons who have far more of zeal
than knowledge. These reformers are
doubtless good and well-meaning per-
sons, but in their great desire to pro-
mote their cause they overburden it
with impracticable theories and propo-
sitions. Not long since, at meeting
in another state, Jealous reformer adj
vocated not only the prohibition of
every kind of beverage except water,
but of red and black pepper and spices,
and also of animal food; for he argued
that indulgence in these articles in
duced thirst and craving for strong
drinks. Probably this man was sim
cere, but he could not see that he was
making the "cause " ridiculous by his
advocacy of what is clearly imprac-
ticable.
There is danger of overfreighting the
temperance ship; it has not the capac-
ity for the storage of all the theories
and isms with which impracticable re-
formers would burden it. 1t is an ex-
tremely foolish proceeding for the
friends of temperance to put tea and
coffee in the same category with intoxi-
eating drinks; in doing this they not
only repel people from the support of
their cause, but provoke more of public
derision than respect. In this connec-
ton our former quotation from the In
dependent may well be repeated: Com
mon sense is very useful article to
have on hand in the prosecution of any
reform"
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1885-10-28

government, with change of houses.
The states control the senate of the
United States and population the house,
while the towns control the Vermont
house and population the senate. As
both senate and house possess co-ordi-
nate powers in each case, the difference
is in name simply, not in principle.
We are in the habit of believing that
our national government is, in theory,
the best in the world. Let us be con-
tent that our state system is practically
the same.
Were there danger of any attempt to
change our system, by giving popula-
ton greater advantages at the expense
of the towns, might add to this long
article. 1 will only say that any in
crease of the power of population in the
house of representatives, to be good for
anything, must carry the majority. 1t
must be The biggest fish IN the puddle.
Everybody can guess the fate of the
little ones in that event. E. P. w.
