POOR BEAR.
He Was Sick and Wanted Help Irons the
Man Who Trapped Him


"One bitter colo mourning not lona

bear trap which l was going to set
In my pocket l had sponge and
bottle of chloroform for, after setting
the trap, l was going to kill an old
hound. L set the trap and sat down
on a log in the shadow of tree.
Suddenly l heard behind me great
painting and wheeling and, looking
around, l spied huge black bear.
He came toward me still painting and
seemed very curious as to what | was.
| sat like thing of stone, with my
legs crossed, and in a few minutes the
bear waddled down and began to sniff
ut my coat. He whcezed like a pOr
poise, and | could feel his warm breath
on the back OF my ne"k, but didn't
move peg, and the bear drew back
three or four times, as though he had
found out enough and was going away.
But he soon shifted at my coat again,
and in a little while he clambered
over the log at my right, wheezed in
my ear a second and circled around to
his left, as though he wanted to get
I. front view.
LAS he did so his right foot came
down in the pan Of the trap, the Jaws
caught his foot like fash, and OF all
the bawling and snarling aud thrash
ing around l ever heard or saw those
Of the bear beat them all. There
was no clog on the trap, and the bear
picked up his foot and started off on
three legs after he had recovered from
the first shock, bowling and wheeling
till / felt sorry for him. l was afraid
the bear would lug my trap where 1
would never be able to get it, and |
followed him around for two hours
and tried to get a crack at his head
with a club.

then he wheeled. about, waddled to,

and whIned and wheezed, as though
he was begging me to take the trap

A number of anecdotes have been told

herman, Goldfish, whose stentorian voice
resembled reverberatlng thunder anI

distance OF two miles. An old-timer says
Bodfsh, who lived at Kendalls Mills,
though rough man in his ways, had n
kind heart and gave aid to many poor
people he thought deserving. Once a
river driver was drowned at Kendall
Mills and Bodfish having subscribed 8
handsome sum himself to aid his family,
mounted barrel beside the street, from
which he harangued the people in aid
Of the sufferers. He laid down the rule
that no man should pass that day until
he had contributed, and in that way held
up travellers all day long, securing a con-
siderable amount by nightfali, when the
odd embargo was raised.-Lewiston

Money to Burn.
The Rucke'ellcrs have magnificent
houses on Fifth avenue, writes a New
York CORES pondent Of the Philadel-
phia Times, but their mode of life is
simple in the extreme. John D. lives
bn Fifty-fourth street, just west OF
Fifth avenue. William lives on Fifth
avenue, near Fifty-fourth street.
This is the millionaire district. II.
NJ. Fiagler, the Nanderbilts, William
G. Whitney, Andrew Carnegie, and
other big men live not a stones throw
away.
Like the Vanderbilts, the Rookie
fe'lerS are steady church-goers. They
sit under DR.. John r. Paxton, the
famous soldier preacher, who was the
pastor Of Jay Gould and who also
. breaches t. the daughter and sons of
that great fnancier. At the same
church attend a dozen or more of the
richest men in New York who do not
seem in any way displeased by the
habit DR.. Paxton has Of saying hard
things against the rich. The oil
kings are liberal men with their
| money, although they make but little
ado over their charities. Most of the
money they spend in this way is
spent under the direction of DR.. Pax
ton and nothing is heard of it in the
public press.
Take them all in all, they are the
sort Of men whom wealth In no way
changes. They are the same men
to-day that they were when they
were struggling for wealth in West
EN- Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio,
and when physical courage as well as
mental acumen Of the highest sort
. was needed in order that they might
hold their own against the fierce OPP
position Of desperate men. But the
ROckefellers had the requisite nerve,
and in the end they won. They are
called monopolists and other hard
names, and it is not necessary here
to consider the fitness Of such cpl
thetS. One fact stands clear. These
men started with nothing, practically
speaking, and to-day one OF them Is
valued as being worth $3.50, 900, 900
and the other almost as much. As
an object lesson in the at OF how II
do it, these figures and facts speak
more fo-cibly than almost anything
else could.
