sack containing the skin of a black
bear, an animal which in life weighed
seven hundred and twenty pounds
and measured seven and one-half
feet in length
The animal was run across just as
the party were leaving their camp,
about forty miles from Kerby, for
home. They had gone four or five
miles when shepherd dog which
accompanied them started the big
fellow out OF TIE brush. The bears
dimensions were SO enormous that
he made an easy target. Jones fired
first and lodged a ball in his head.
This, however, had noeffect, and the
great bear ran down the guleh, fol-
lowed by the men and the dog. The
latter was SO hot'in the pursuit that
the bear turned on him and attempt
ed to deal him a blow, but missed.
and fell thirty feet down the ravine
to the bushes, where he regained his
feet.
Tebbs and Jones followed as rapid
ly as the nature OF the ground would
permit. The bear turned up the
opposite side of the mountain, the
dog after him, when Jones fired
again, hitting the animal near the
eye, and then Tebbs lodged a ball in
the black and fleeing mass near the
head. He dropped, but arose again.
Before he could get away, however,
the hunters sent five more shots into
the body and bruin gave up the
ghost. They then returned to camp,
and, getting horse, and placing
the carcass in the fork of a felled
tree, dragged it with much difficulty
five miles distant. There the bear
was weighed, measured and skinned.
The meat was given to the miners
and the hunters again started for
home. San Francisco Chronicle.

FASCINATING GOLF.

Do you play golf? If you do, you
are bound to be an enthusiast or
nothing, and never tire of listening to
tales of powess on the green"
That is a charming and health-giving
game, no one can deny: and after
reading the handsomely illustrated
article, Fascinating Golf" in Demon
est's Magazine for November, one can
understand something of the enthusi-
asm it arc ises, and the fascir i IN it
exercises over It's devotees. Another
article of interest to all women is
"N oman Guardians of Patriotism"
which gives many interesting facts
about the Daughters of the American
Revolution which have never before
been published, and the illustrations
include portraits of the officers of the
national organization, and most of
the state regents Demorest's is

He Is Rescued from Suicide and Given
a Boost.

Boost.
The days at Sisterville, W. Va,
have been cold and cherries, and
the streets not the sort that induced
the average oil operator to have his
shoes shined All OF one day and at
night George McClung, a one-legged
boy who runs shining stand in
front of the Manhattan cafe, used
his best arts to beguile some passer-
by into his chair. When the day
was done, he had just earned twenty
cents. The boy was desperate, SO he
tied his jaw up in his kerchief. and
went to drug store to buy lauda-
mum to ease the pain of an imagin-
airy aching tooth. Capt. Reedy, the
city marshal, was in rear room of
the drug store when the boy got the
laudanum, and decided to follow him.
McClung took to the back streets
and entered the boiler shed of an
abandoned oil well derrick, which
had served him as a sleeping place
during summer, but which now is
very uncomfortable. The marshal
was in time to see the boy put the
laudanum to his lips, but it was to
| pull the cork with his teeth, that he
might reach the fluid. Capt. Reedy
seized the bottle and broke it. He
then took the boy to the police sta
tion and furnished him comforta-
BILE bed, having made him promise
not to try again to kill himself
The next morning the captain
noised the boys trouble about the
town and by eight o'clock there was
crowd waiting about the sinners
stand. The sympathies of the oil
men were reused by the story of the
boys troubles, and they were there
in force. All day The crowd kept up,
and when the boy closed for the
night nearly worked to death, he
had earned over twenty-five dollars.
Some of the oil men had their shoes
shined five times, at fifty cents a
shine, and others just dropped the
money into the boys pocket without
wasting time to have him fool with
their Tribes, ;" as one Of them put it.
Having the shoes shined by the
"one-leg' for luck has come to be
the fad in Sistersville, and from this
time on there need be no desire on
McClune's part to kill himself I'M
less his wealth turns his head. -

Gastronomic Feat of Reptile Near
BROOKLYN, NJ. Y.


For some time past Thomas
Mhoon, truck farmer living near
Brooklyn, has been missing each
day number of young ducks. They
disappeared so mysteriously that
their loss could not be accounted for
In any manner. All theories as to
how they were taken were smashed
to pieces when it was known that
no one had been near the place dur
ing the day where the ducks were
won't to pass away the time. No
feathers or other vestige could be
found, which would undoubtedly
have been the case if the fowls had
been made away with by hawk or
some ''varmint."
When sixty-five of the fluffy
youngsters had disappeared Mhoon
determined to watch the ducks for a
day. He followed them down in the
field to the little branch where they
slipped into the water. No sooner
had they arrived there than shades
of st. Patrick-from neighboring
clump Of bushes appeared such a
snake as Mhoon had never seen be-
fore outside of a show He is not a
drinking man and is not accustomed
to see such things in broad daylight,
but he had to pinch himself to make
certain that he was in his right
senses. While his eyes stuck out OF
his head in terror the monster snake
glided up to the ducks, when they
all set up a terrific quacking, as il
they knew the end of the world was
coming for some Of them.
BY this time the man had recov-
cred himself, and, hastily running tc
the house, secured his shotgun and
returned to where he had seen the
snake.
When he reached there he found
the snake, which seemed fifteen feet
long and one foot thick, making of
with q duck in its mouth. Mhoor
pulled the trigger OF the gun. Wher
the smoke clearsd away the reptile
was stretched out, lashing its tail il
! fury. Mhoon kept away until 1T
struggles had ceased, and ap
preached it. He found out it was ;
moccasin, and when measured it wa
as long as fence rail, about min
feet four inches. Baltimore Herald

For twelve years MIR. Hardin was
Attorney General for the State of
Kentucky, and the fierce Republican
search light that has been turned for
THE past year upon his public, pro
sfessional and personal record has re-
Fvealed no blot, blur or blemish
thereon. For twenty years his voice
has been heard all over kentucky in
praise of the principles of Democracy,
but during all this campaign now
drawing to a close not one word has
he uttered against Democrats
who have so bitterly assailed him.
Having his quarrel with Republicans
only, he was wisely refrained from an
sswering STOOL Democrats" according
to their folly, but pursued the even
tenor Of his way toward the Executive
mansion which he will occupy on De-
.cember 10. The Times is not in ac-
cord with Gen. Hardin's currency
views, but knowing that he will have
mo material influence upon the final
settlement of that vexed national
question, aud believing that he will
honestly, consistently and ably dis.
charge every duty that devolves upon
the Chief Executive of the State, we
hail with unassumed and unalloyed
pleasure the growing assurances
of his triumphant election.

There is more Catarrh In this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years
doctors pronounced 1t local disease.
and prescibed local remedies, Md by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

cRlMPs AN AID TO REFORM.
Mirrors for Girls Bedrooms in Con-
necticut's Industrial School.

AS the GROWING idea in expert
ments to decide whether girls can
be most successfully reformed with
or without crimps and other trffing
adornments dear to feminine vanity,
one hundred looking-glasses are to
be placed in the bedrooms OF inmates
of Russell home at the Middletown
Industrial school in Connecticut.
Heads of reform schools for girls
maintain that if it were not for the
love Of crimps, jewelry, ribbons and
the determination to procure articles
for personal adornment at any cost,
the number of girls supported by
the public purse in industrial and
reform institutions would be greatly
diminished.
So it has been customary for years
to frame stringent rules against
crimps, hair ribbons, corsets, paint,
powder and style. Mirrors are re-
garded as prime cultivators of van
ity and enemies of reformation.
Connecticut, it is conceded, has a
model institution in the industrial
school at Middletown. 1t is about
two years since Superintendent Fair
banks took charge and made a revo-
luton in favor of crimps and every
thing, except paint and powder, that,
a girl needs to make herself look
pretty. 1t is an experiment that is
being watched by similar authorities
all over the country.
Superintendent of many similar
institutions from different parts of
the country visited Middletowr dur
ing the recent national convention
in New Haven. Most of them have
MT yet recovered from their amaze
ment at the sight of over two hum
dred girls with hair crimped or
waved, fashionably arranged in
Psyche knots and decorated with
fancy pins of gilt, silver and shell;
young girls with curls down their
backs, knotted with bright ribbons,
stylish frocks trimmed with lace OF
the latest designs, made after the
reigning styles and with sleeves as
voluminous as any to be seen at the
most fashionable summer resort. =

A dentist died in a rural town in
England recently, after spending over
fifty years in pulling the molars of his
fellow citizens. He had made it a
hobby to keep all the teeth which he
had drawn in the course of his profess
sional career, and took great pride in
the collection. When his will was
opened it was found that he had or
dered the collection OF teeth to be
placed with him in his coffin fer burial.
His heirs fulfilled the command, and
almost thirty thousand teeth were put
into the coffin with the dead dentist.

The necessity Of keeping close watch
over mining claims and Of taking all
the required legal steps to perfect title
has been shown in the Coulterville
district lately. In one instance a mine
(patented, we believe), upon which .
mill was in operation, was jumped,
and several instances are reported
where claims have been "appropri-
ated." There are men who will resort
TO almost any means to secure desir-
able claims; and wen though their
efforts do not win, the owners are put
to considerable expense. A claim is
never safe until it is patented and il
a claim is worth holding, II is certainly
worth patenting. 1t is a matter of
neglect with most men that they have
not secured patents, but it is liable to
prove a dangerous oversight. Now
that so many new men are in the
county, the likelihood Of trouble from
this source is increased. IL will prove
the part of wisdom for every man who
has a good mine to secure a patent as
soon as Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

Bread From Wood.

A German periodical devoted to
wood industries announces that food
products consisting partly Of wood are
now manufactured. At Berlin q fac
tory has been built which is turning
out about 200 quintals Of wooden bread
a day. Sawdust is subjected to chem
ical treatment, after which it is mixed
with one-third farina and prepared like
ordinary bread. The product at pres
sent serves only as food for horses, but
the Berlin tramway company, which
is the most important customer OF the
factory, is well pleased with the re-
suits. The manufacturers say that
wooden bread constitutes also an ex-
cellent food for a
