Two boys. aged IL and 10 years, the
sons OF Abram Burger, a farmer, living
on the east branch OF the Delaware,
were hunting raccoons on Dry Brook
Mountain few days ago. When about
half way up the mountain they found "A
beech tree from which hung "A large
number Of pods OF ripe beech nuts.
Leaving their rifles on the ground. they
climbed into the tree TO thrash oil some
beech nuts 10 take home with them.
They had hardly got into the tree when
their dog gave "A yelp Of fear and SHE'D
away into the brush. At that moment
the brush on the other side OF the little
clearing where the beech tree stood
broke away, and n huge black bear came
out and walked straight TO the tree
where they were.
The bear smelt about the butt of the
tree for some minutes. and then began
To hitch himself up the trunl, OF the
tree. The frightened boys climbed
higher into the tree. The bear followed
them, however. until he had got TO the
very limb on which they were holding.
The boys balanced themselves. first one
and then the other, o. the limb on
which they were sitting, and then
sprang for the limbs OF hickory tree
which interlaced the outermost branches
OF the beech. Fortunately for them.
they both caught a limb, and then be-

One morning as Luther Evans. a son
OF l.. l. Evans, went TO the field for his
team, on the Barber Darling place. near
Sequel. Cal. he discovered that an AMI.
NAL, which he supposed was dog, was
worrying one of the horses As he
drove nearer he saw that the animal
was not a dog, but an exceedingly
lively specimen of the California lion,
which was making vicious attack up
on the horse. biting and scratching il
with leonine ferocity. The horse was
making the best defense possible, rear
ing and kicking, and was aided by his
mate, but the lion was very evidently
getting the best of the fight. and
would soon have secured an equine
breakfast. As young Evans. who was
on horseback, rode up, the lion crouched
on the ground for moment and then
ran of TO the woods. The horses had
been badly bitten on the iianlis, neck
and belly and was nearly exhausted
from loss OF blood. but under proper
treatment is expected 20 recover.

doctors will have rest. 1t is really
too bad to learn that '''our doctor made
one hundred and forty visits yester-
day." also, "our doctor is very busy,
and has not slept for fourteen nights"
Too busy by far. How do our patients
find out all this? But seriously, If the
grip had lasted much longer, it might
have killed off all our best men. We
hope this good man who owes himself
fourteen nights sleep will soon catch
up, that the poor man who "hasg not
had his clothes off for a weekn has had

fortunate overworked man are still alive
