Fur Overc0ats are sometimes seen even
in our so-called mild climate, and during
the zero weather of the past week bear
skins, buffaloes, etc. were almost COM

Mr.. Peverley can testify. He wears nam.
moth bear skin, and on Wednesday went
to view bit of woodland over in Mary.
land. In order to make his way through
the thicket with greater ease he removed
his bear skin coat and threw it over 9
stump. A colored huntsman passing that
way, saw the fur coat which he mistook
for the animal that it once had covered
and with almost incredable bravery lev
eled his gun with deadly aim and emptied
two barrels into thecoat. ''What
might have been" if Mr.. Peverey had moi
takfY.ef bis coat, is too serious matter to
contempiste. He, as we'll as his many
friends are very glad that rustic costumer,
