Good Enough for tho Neighbour, TOO

One of the legends of Searsport
which B. G. Towle has collected for
the SearspOrt News has for its hero a
man named Harrison, who was much
bothered by bears that invaded his
planted hills. Meeting a neighbor one
day, he app led to him for advice as to
what could be done to keep them out.
The neighbor replied: Bears are fond
Of molas.es. You just make a trough
and fill it with molasses and rum, and
put 1t whore they come into your field,
and they will drink it for the sake OF
the molaSses, and the rum will make
them drunk, so you a 60 in the
morning and knock them on the head"
Mr.. Harrison followed this advice, and
vent to the field the next morning.
There he found. not a bear. but his
neighbor, drunk, as he had predicted
the bears would be. -Lewiston Journal

cHIKo, THE GIANT GORILLA.

Bailey Show
Chiko. the giant gorilla in the Bar
mum & Bailey show. which comes to
Scranton next Thursday. 10 high
liver. He feeds on the finest tropical
fruits, milk. rice. fresh eggs aud port
wine, and he demands frequent
meals and makes his demands known
in an imperious manner which shows
that he expects to be obeyed. When
hungry or thirsty. Chiko taps on the
glass of his cage with his big forefiug-
er. and as soon rs the keeper opens the
door he claps with his big hands twice
for something to eat. and once for
drink To see him eat raw
egg is comical sight. Taking
it in his two grant hands, be-
side which veteran base ball
players look like an infants, he breaks
tho shell at one end, carefully picks
away enough to get at the contents
and then sucks it out. As soon ~ the
shell is empty he holds out to be filled
with wine to wash down the morsel.
Tho other day in Harrisburg u mis-
chievous young Malay in the ethnolog-
ical congress got hold somewhere of u
china dummy egg, such as is used un-
der sitting hens and smuggled it into
the tent. He managed to make the
entire Heterogeneous collection of poo
pie understand that he was about to
perpetrato huge joke, and when the
keepers back WAS turned he handed it
to Chiko. The big gorilla took it and
tried to crack the end against the bars
of his cage, and persis,enily picked ut
it with his fingers for the space OF five
minutes. His inability to mako an
opening seemed to puzzle him aud after
another Intellectual attempt he took it
it into his teeth. The experience was
anything but pleasant, for he imme =
diately droppei it. hoped to the back
side of the cage and nursed his Jaw

had apparently begun to dawn upon
him that he had been tricked. Utter

OF china with all fours and attempted
to crush il. The round thing took n
lurch sidewise and in the melee tripped
him and ho came down on his haunches.
The assembly of curious types out
side were in roar, and their hilarity
attracted Chiko's attention. He re-
garded them intsntly for few NOM
ents and then to all appearances re.
sumed his attack on the egg. The mis- J.
chievous Malay had got into the front
row to secure full view Of his sue
cessful practical joke, and Cbiko got
his eye on him. Suddenly raising him
self to his full height he began to chat
ter rapidly and angrlly. and hurled the
egg full at the convulssd Malay The
attack was unexpected, and the young
fellow got blow In the ribs that dou-
