BEARDLESS CANDIDATES.

Three Leading Presidential Possibilities
Clean Shaven.
The three leading candidates for the
Republican nomination for the presi-
dency are clean shaven. Gov. Morton
wore a beard as late as his ffty-ffth
year, off and on, but finally decided to
part with it for good He is far hand
somer without it than with it. McKin-
ley tried a beard in his younger years,
but it was failure and a misnomer.
1t did not seem to belong there, so ne
abandoned all hope.
Tom Reed useG TO wear a tiny excuse
for a mustache before ne decided to be
a candidate for President. He shaved
it off just about a year ago, liked the
looks of his upper lip and concluded that
he had no more business with down in
the mouth. 1t was, indeed, a literal
case of down in the mouth. His mus
tache turned in, like Bismarck's AS if
afraid to be seen, it wanted to hide. To
shave or not to shave made but little diff
ference to Mr.. Reed. His mustache was
not missed by many of his acquaintance.
Even the cartoonists and newspaper
artists failed to recognize the difference
for long time and kept on drawing
him with mustache. He is just as
handsome with a mustache as without it.
Sixteen presidents of the United States
were clean shaver. Lincoln was the
first occupant of the white house to wear
a beard, and Grant was the first to
wear a musache. 1t was, up to the
time of Lincoln, considered gross and I'M
clean to wear either beard or mustlche.
Lincoln had no mustache. Allison, one
of the Republican candidates, has none.
Grant Hayes Garfield and Harrison
wore full boards and mustaches. Ar
thur wore Dundrearys, with O small
mustache part Of the time. Cleveland
has a moderate mustache, and is the
only one of the presidents to wear a
mustache without a beard.
Whitney has small mustache, stiff as
Bill himself can be when he meets a
man with an income of less than $780,
600, and he keeps it cropped and chewed.
1t is a bristling mustache, and is indl-
cative of Bills character. Bill Morri-
son has full beard of soft, wavy hair
when he allows it to grow unmolested
for three or four weeks. Campbell of
Ohio has only a mustache, Carlisle
could not raise a beard OF mustache to
save his life. His cheek is too hard.
He would be horrible looking object
with either. He went off fishing ouce to
let both grow, and when, after a few
weeks he looked in a glass he nearly
tainted. The sight of him caused a
snake to shed its skin. Pattison, the
Boy-Governor-of-Pe Pennsylvania candi-
date, wears. a mustache. Bayard is clean
shaven. Stevenson. Hill, Matthews,
Olney and Lamont all wear muStaches.
Hill has small patches of black hair III
front of his ears. Quay is the only Re
publican candidate to wear a mustache.

THE LATEST BEAR STORY.
Two Washington Woodsmen Have Most
Remarkable Adventure.

Two Washington Woodsmen Have a Most
Remarkable Adventure.
A correspondent Of the Portland Ore
CONAN wired the following story from
Montesano, Wash:
''This county is almost a paradise for
bear hunters, judging from the reports
brought in. The bears make themselves
quite conspicuous at times, several hay
ing been killed in and near the corporate
limits of the city. The other day, John
Carter and Walter Wade were out cruis-
ing near the city and accidentally ran
across a good-sized black bear. AS nei-
Their had a gun, they were about to re-
treat, when the bear made run for
Carter, who quickly climbed a tree over
hanging the water in the Chehalis river.
The bear followed close after, and
grabbed Carter by the foot. He was in
a serious predicament, but his companion
came to the rescue and, climbing up to
the bear, grabbed it's leg and commenced
to pull heartily. This broke the limb
upon which Carter was holding, and
the three tumbled promiscuously into the
water, which was about five feet deep.
By a series of maneuvers, the boys sue
ceeded in getting the BEARS head under
water long enough to drown him. Both
of them were nearly exhausted

that only blew out part of the base.
The second blast was of six pounds of
four-side powder, as they call it, and
this powerful blow tore loose the bricks
at the point where the line from the cen
ter of gravity of the stack passed
through the geometrical surface of the
earth on its way to the center of the
earth-in short, knocked props from I'M
der it.
ga thousand tongues yelled There
she goes! and a great lot of photog-
raphers pulled up the eyelids of their
cameras and then Winked them shut
again.
.'The vast structure, weighing 800 tons
and containing 10000 bricks, remained
perfectly intact as it swung from the
sky in the intended southeasterly direc-
ton, until it came to an angle of about
45 degrees. At this instant the square
base crumbled into cloud. Only when
very close to the ground, nearly hori-
Zontal, or perhaps degrees from the
level, did the remainder of the stack
show throughout its length a crooked
line of white dust.
''And what seemed to take the breath
more than all else was the perfect silence
of the monster in it's wonderful move
ment up to the instant before it struck
the lap of mother earth. Then one ire
mendous groan gave the giant dissolu-
ton, and in One-tenth of a second it lay
perfectly still, every brick having found
it's rest, a great white cloud rising above
it. A hundred people who ran rushing
to the scene found two out of every three
bricks in the whole structure whole and
most of them more beautifully cleaned
by the shock than the bricklayer's trowel
could do it. There was feeling Of awe,
and the thought how quickly q great
work comes to naught."

A Cat Worth Having.
Rochester Post Expressly


One of the greatest successes in the
history of this country is that achieved
by Boston's unique fve-cent magazine,
The Black Cat. In seven months it has
reached a sale of one quarter of a million
copies per issue. The chief reason for
this is that each number contains half a
dozen of the most original and fascinat-
ing stories that brains and genius can
produce and money can buy.
The Philadelphia Call aptly says: It's
phenomenal success has already earned
for it the title, "The Marvel of the Mag
azine World" and it would certainly be
impossible to find in a single number of
any other publication such captivating
tales as are published monthly in The
Black Cat. And the Boston Post pro-
nounces it the most fascinating FIVE cents
worth on earth

Still Using FIintIocks.

Some regions are rather slow to adapt
themselves to modern game-killlng in
Elements. A Forest and Stream CORE
spondent got letter from New Bruins
wick the other day which said that
iintlock guns were still in use up in
that country. The latter was from a
storekeeper, who said that the store
had carried supply of gun fints ever
since it had been started by his grand
father, away back in 1886. Probably
he would lose trade if he did not
have them in stock. 1t is not improbable
that Indians in the North Woods of
Canada still use fintlock guns, but to
use them SO near New York as is New
Brunswick is curious
A fiintlock gun, beside modern ham
merless gun, makes a contrast apt to be
remembered. 1t has been proposed more
than once that sportsmen, instead, of
using such deadly weapons as modern
guns, taken up the old bow and arrow,
or some other primitive weapon. The
sportsman that had killed modern deer
with that ancient weapon could say that
ne was as good a hunter as anybody:
There are few or none that can boast OF

Pvthon,s Meal of Pork.

A hunter cunning near river one day
saw some wild hogs come down to drink.
A python seized full-grown one, B feet
high at the shoulder, and threw two coils
about it's body. The hog simply fattened
nothing more. The snake was shot and
found to be u feet long and inches
through, yet it crushed the bones of its
victim as though they were paper. A
man who has in his possession the loin-
cloth and jumper of a coolie who was
swallowed by a boa constructor says the
cloths were knotted to tightly that they
seemed to have been done by hand The
only part of the coolies body found was
the lower jaw bone. all the rest having
been digested by the big snake.

A PENNSYLVANIA INCIDENT.
Ground Gave way and Almost Swallowed
Up a Woman.

Up a Woman.
Mrs. Catharine Davis of Cork Lane,
near Wilkesbarre, Pa, had a narrow es-
cape from a horrible death recently, and
but for the .heroism Of James Gilmartln
she would have been smothered in a
cave. AS it is she is Frustrated by the
shock, but not injured beyond few
bruises.
The ground in the vicinity of Mrs.
Davis home is over some old NINE work
ings which have of late been caving IN,
and the surface has been affected IN sey-
eral places. In the afternoon, while
Mrs. Davis was walking over some
waste land she felt the ground giving
way beneath her. She sprang forward
as fast as she could, but, as it proved,
toward the center of the. disturbance;
Her foot caught in a crack in the ground
and she fell heavily, the shaking earth
tumbling on and about her.
At the first sign of the cave she began
to scream, and, fortunately for her,
James Gilmartin, who was on a road
near by, heard her. He ran to her aid
as fast as he could, but when he reached
the edge of the hole, which was then
about twenty feet across, she had gone
down about fifteen feet, and, owing to
the weight of the earth on her limbs,
was almost powerless. To venture into
that mass Of quivering and sliding earth
was q daring matter, but Gilmartin did
not hesitate In he jumped and was
almost instantly buried to the knees.
but he managed to reach Mrs. Davis
side, and after one or two violent eff
forts managed to extricate her. She was
by this time unconscious, and III his Ell
forts to get her out Gilmartin had got in
deeper.
. Fiercely he struggled to extricate, him
self, for there was danger of both being
smothered before help arrived, and ut
last he got his legs free. and, picking
up the unconscious woman, managed;
him, to get to the top of the hole and on
firm ground. He was so weak then that
it was several minutes before he gained
strength to carry Mrs. Davis to her
home. She is now resting quietly, and
will be about in a day or two Gilman
tin is none the worse for his experience.

CAN'T GET HIS CAMEL TO SIT.
Had So Much of it on Shipboard that His
Hind Legs Became Useless.

A large camel which was landed at
Hoboken a few days ago from the Bre-
men line steamer Dresden had an expe-
rience which probably never before fell
to the lot of "a ship of the desert"
He made the voyage in large box
and as there wasn't room enough in it
for any self-respecting animal the camel
sat down in sheer disgust. He sat that
way for days and days while the ship
rolled and made all sorts Of heavy
weather.
When the detected animal was finally
landed and tried to stand up he couldn't
use his rear props at all. They had be-
come paralyzed from their long stay in a
cramped position The camel wasn't any
good, it seemed, and as big price had
been paid for him there was general
lamentation. Such picture of woe was
never seen in Hoboken He looked worse
than Ahlwardt after the Hoboken He
brews rendered him an outdoor vegetable
reception and handed the fruit to him at
long range.
At last a genius suggested radical
cure. The camel, by his advice, was
placed in a sling and hoisted up, until
only his toes touched the ground. He
padded the air for spell with his fore
legs, and finally the rear props came to
life and joined in the exercise They
lowered him to the floor. and after he
had tested his rear legs somewhat gin
gerly he was as good as new. But he
doesn't sit down any more Once was
enough for him.-New York Herald.

Posted on the Work of Science and
Saved Her Own Life.
From the Era, Bradford, Pa.
Too few people are acquainted with the
rapid advance of medical science, and too
many doctors are still plodding in the old
paths. Once it comes to pass that people
know themselves, that all physicians are
abreast of the worlds knowledge, much
of our suffering will come to an end. Med
ical scientists are not delving into the
depths of knowledge for the mere benefit
of brother physicians, but for the benefit
of the world They place in the hands of
the well man means of keeping well, in
the hands of the sick means of recov-
cry. To the parent they give the power
of saving the child. Science is working
for you-will you accept the proffered
help?
Mrs. George Rowend, an estimable lady
who resides at No. PIG East Main street,
has cause to feel grateful toward the
science of medicine.
One day recently a reporter, learning
that Mrs. Rowend had been greatly bene-
flied by the use of a new medicine, inter-
viewed her. She stated that she had been
suffering with a female trouble for many
years. She had been doctored for the all
ment for a long time-in fact, nearly all
her life-and had never received anything
more than temporary relief. During the
last three years her condition. grew worse
and was aggravated by an affection of the
heart Her health was so poor that she
found it almost impossible to perform her
household duties.
II never believed in proprietary medi-
cines," said Mrs. Rowend, ''but one day
last fall / read an article III a. newspaper
which told of the cures effected by DR..
Williams Pink Pills, and I decided to
try the medicine. Before / had taken the
contents of one box / began to feel better.
The depressing weakness which had both
cred me for SO many years began to dis
appear, and the action of the heart at once
became,stronger and more regular. | took
nine boxes of the pills, and / am now feel
ing better than I have for several years,
and | have unbounded faith in the medi-
cine" Mrs. Rowend is steadily gaining in
health and strength and gives all the
credit for her restoration to health to DR..
