Ferenpaw,s Bear Farm.

The queerest loss by high water ever
heard OF in the Pine Creek country
where disastrous floods are common,
was that ofSeley Ferenbaw, of Kettle
Flats, writes a Bailey's Mills Pa.
correspondent of the New York Sun.
Ferenbaw was damaged by the re-
cent food in Kettle creek to the ex-
tent of seven bears, large and small.
Ferenbaw is a hunter, and he got it in
to his head last spring that he could
make good thing by raising bears
for the market, the animals to be
delivered alive or dead, according to
the taste of the buyer. Acting on
that idea he bent all his ingenuity as
a trapper in capturing bears alive,
and his first prize was an old she
bear and her two cubs. Ferenbaw
had built big log Enclosure on the
fats near his cabin, and he turned
his bears in it, At different times
since his first capture he added eleven
other bears, young and old, to his
first capture. Of these, three cubs,
whose mother he could not get, died
for want of proper nourishment.
one old bear worked ahole between
two logs in efforts to escape, got his
head fast in it and choked himself to
death. Two yearlings got in fight
over their dinner one day. One was
killed by his combatant, but the lat
ter was so badly hurt that he had to
be shot. That left Ferenbaw with
his original old bear and her two
cubs, grown to fat and glossy fell
lows big as Newfoundland dog, and
four other bears of various sizes.
The big rains of a week or so ago
raised the creek higher than it had
ever been known before, and mill
dam two or three hundred yards
; above Ferenbaw's bear pen broke
, away. The water rushed down, COW
! cred the fats and carried away the
pen bears and all. The old bears. il
: is supposed, succeeded in stemminS
: the food and escaping to the woods
: at favorable points along the creek
: The two cubs, however. were drown
: ed, their bodies being found in &
: pile of drittwood three miles below
= Ferenbaw's when the water abated
= Ferenbaw valued his bears at from
:, SO to $25 apiece. He will rebuil'
= his pen and begin restocking it a
~ once.

A Strange Verdict.

A coroner's jury returned verdict
to the effect that certain promi'
nent man died of alcoholism.
"Your verdict is absurd" some one
said to the coroner.
"Why so?"
because he was never known to
drink"
CHATS fact"
'He never went into a saloon"
"You are right"
''Then why do you say he died
from the effects OF alcoholism when
we all know that he was shot?"
That's all very true" the coroner
replied, but the man who shot him
was drunk. Don't talk to me if you
please. understand my business.
Deceased was killed by whisky. -

They Wore Peabodies.

The latest thing in coats for some
people is the long, double breasted
Peabody with rough shaggy nap.
These coats are so heavy that an
overcoat. except in very cold weather
is superfuous. The other evening
two young men happy in the posses
sion of brand new Peabodies, called
on some young ladies on the South
Side.
One of the hostesses took the
gentleman's hats and stood as if ex-
pecting to receive some other article
of their apparel. An awkward and
embarrassing pause was finally brok-
en- by the lady, who said
81 hope you both intend to spend
the evening with us?"
They did and frankly said so. The
hats were laid aside, and conversation
was undertaken. But it Jagged.
The ladies appeared nervous and ill
at ease. After a few minutes one
of them said:
1T must be uncomfortably warm
here for you. Won't you take of
your coats? Do take them off; I'm
sure you would be more comfort
able
The thunderstruck callers were I'M
able to speak for n full halfa minute,
then the two heart-broken young
men explained that their faultless
Peabodies were not overcoats, and
peace again reigned.-From The
