In keeping with our usual custom the
HERALD will not be published next week,
and the brief holiday thus allowed will
be spent in visiting our patrons through
out the county. We need money, and at
this peculiar time our need is great. Look
at this: Two weeks ago we sent ont to
sixteen subscribers urgent appeals for
what was justly our due, all to men OF
good standing, whose total Indebtedness
for the HERALD is $40. 80, and thus far
only one has RENTED.

CRANKY.

While Hosea Luud was returning from
a days hunt among the mountains re-
Gently very unaccountable incident oC-
CURED as he was passing down AN old
road leading from the letters mill site TO
the Mount Tug road. His attention WAS
attracted by the cracking of brush and
he stopped for a moment and made ready
for action. A large bear came out of the
bushes and walked leisurely up to within
20 feet of Mr.. Lund, who recognized it as
the one that had baffied him for quite a
number of years and thinking he had got
near enough discharged his gun, hitting
he bear Just behind the ear. The animal
leaped in the air and TELL back apparently
dead. Mr. Lund, not thinking it neces-
sarv to put another cartridge in his gun,
advanced to where the bearlay pounding
its head upon the earth in what Mr..
Lund supposed to be its death struggle,
when suddenly it raised itself upon its
iorelegs gave terrific screech, turned a
back somersault and disappeared in a
thicket near by. Mr.. Lund followed its
| bloody tracks to what is known as the
Rogers brook and as it was getting
dark gave up the search until morning
when he looked up and down the brook
and in all directions for miles but was
unable to find the bear. Mr.. Lund is the
champion bear slayer of this section and
can not account for Bruins bad con-
duct Eek.

very few changes have been made, the
most important being the departure OF
the morning mail at 6.2O instead OF 8

express from Portland at Ito instead OF
1.2O. The night mail arrives at 7.45 as
during the summer months. With this
timetable new system of handling

method of protection under which no
