Couple of Bear Stories.

Wednesday, Mr.. William Nickerson of
Kingfeld, was hunting partridge about one
half mile from his home. Hearing his dog
bark he supposed that his dog had found
some birds, and fastening in the direction of
the sound, he found that the dog had en-
countered large bear
Mr.. Nickerson hastily climed tree, TAX
ing his gun with him. but had ascended only
some six or eight feet when bruin caught him
by the pantleg and tried to pull him to the
ground. The pants gave away. The bear
then seized his shoe and pulled it from his
foot, carrying 1t to the<ground. Bruins neat
trip up the tree was more successful, and
this time he carried down one of Mr.. Nick
erson's stockings, also one of his toes, badly
decorating two more.
Mr.. Nickerson had now got in position to
use his gun, and as the savage beast was
ascending the tree the third time with the
brave little dog hanging to his flank he
coolly waited until the muzzle of his gun
was within a foot of the animals head He
hen quickly gave him the small partridge
charge which the gun contained. 1t caused
him to beat hasty retreat for which MI.
NckersOn was truly thankful.
Last Monday night Archibald Millay of
New Portland, hearing an unusual noise in
the woods back of his house, took his Ian
tern and, accompanied by his son, proceeded
to find out the cause of the disturbance, says
the Pittslield Advertiser. Having satisfied
himself that the diSturber of his peace was a
raccoon he left the boy in charge of the Ian
tern while he went back for his gun. When
he returned he found the lantern, boy and
all treed by huge bear. The boy patiently
maintained his position until bruin became
tired and moved away, allowing him to pass
to the house In company with bis father,
bearing loaded shot gun but no game.

frank sampson's Loss.

Frank Simpsons buildings at Sebec were
burned to the ground Tuesday night, and
fourteen cattle, four horses and number of
carriages and buggies were burned with the
buildings. The family were aroused by the
noise of barking dog, and succeeded in saw
ing only few of their household goods. One
hundred and fifty tons of hay, large
amount of grain and potatoes, and other
farm products were burned. Threshing and
moving machines, horse rakes, and all of
his farming tools perished in the flames. One
of the horses burned was magnificent five.
year-old Won Moltke, and the image of the
sire. One of the carriages was a Bangor
top buggy, almost new. Mr.. Sampson lost
all the pork and winter supplies he had,
saving hardly thing.
Had it not been for the barking of the dog
there is no doubt but that the whole family
would have been burned to death. Mr..
Sampson made the utmost efforts to save his
horses. Upon first trying to enter the barn,
where they were, he was driven back by fire
and smoke Then he tried to back into the
barn upon his hands and knees, and was
forced TO give that up. The fire was thought
to be the work Of an incendiary, as the far
ther barn, where there was not the slightest
apparent cause, caught first. A schoolhouse
in the same vicinity was burned the previous
night, and the people think that fire fiend
is lurking in the vicinity Mr.. Simpsons
loss will not fall far short of $1,000, and there
was not a dollar of insurance.

Good Results.
Room for Every Organization II all
Work Together.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. ia call is
sued this evening says that an effort to Sc
cure fraternal cooperation of all the labor
organizations in the country Is being made
with very fair prospect Of success. 1t has
been known for some time that the leaders Of
several large organizations were ready to ae-
cept the olive branch from the heads Of kim
dred societies, but up to today no one had
taken the initiative. General Master Work
man Powderly today made The first move
ment by sending kilograms to the conven-
tiOns OF the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers at Richmond, and the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Brakemen in session at Columbus
The despatch to Chief Arthur Is as follows:
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 10.
p. ~. Arthur, g. c. Il. b. Of 4. e., Richmond,
Ia;
Accept fraternal greetings and best wishes for
a successful session. Will your convention con-
sent TO fraternal cooperation with other labor
organizations to the end that all disputes may be
now at hand when all labor organizations on this
continent, forgetful of the past should cooperate
on the essentials for the welfare Of ALL Our hand
Is extended in friendship.

The despatch to the Brakemen's Brother

Convention of the brotherhood OF Rdils0ay Brake
men, tOtufnOuS, OIttO
Cannot steps be taken TO effect an understand
ing between all labor organizations that the in
terest OF all may be guarded through a co-opera-
tive effort in all cases OF dispute and in seeking
legislation for labor? May success crown your
efforts and may no hand turn brake that will
stop the wheels Of progress and fraternity.

Il certainly expect good results from this, I"
remarked Mr.. Powderlv this afternoon.
shortly after the Burlington strike began
several prominent members Of the Brother
hood came to see me at Scranton. Our inter
view was such as to convince me that some
thing could be done to bring about a better
state Of feeling between the two organiza-
t1ons. We are already working In conjunc-
tion with the Brotherhood on the Union
Pacific, and are ready to cooperate with
them on other roads. Nor does this refer
only to engineers, firemen and brakemen, but
to all other labor organizations. | am In
favor of the federation of all. There is not
room for two warning organizations in the
country, but there is room, il they work to-
gether for the common good, for all. l am
ready to go as far as any man in America to
bring about this union of interests, and am
satisfied that the men who are at the head Of
other labor organizations have the interest Of
the men whom they represent as much at
heart as /, and certainly expect to see all
working in harmony in very short time"

Edward Atkinson addressed the students
Of Cornell University the other day on the
problem Of cheap hygienic living. Mr.. At
kinson stated that he had lived by the week
in Boston on cents day by buying Just
enough Of the right kind OF food and doing
his own cooking He said that the greatest
benefit which will come to men In the near
future will result from the scientific study Of
TODD and its preparation. He has invented
an oven which retains heat from an oil
lamp, bakes to perfection and is wonderfully
economical An English scientist recently
wrote 10 Mr.. Atkinson asking why An.eri-
cans were degenerating physically. The
latter collected complete statistics from
clothing manufacturers which prove that the
American has really increased In size. The
SOutherner has increased two inches around
the waist since the war. He thinks the
Engllshman Is the one who Is degenerating.
