HYPNOTlzEO THE BEARS.
A Story Which Newsome Believes Becaus
Anderson Is Cross Eyed.


j. e. Newsome is Port Arthur Ca
madam and Alex Anderson comes from
Pearl River. An Englishman named
Atwell wanted to get u bear, and An
derson tried to crafty his desire.
Newsome told Forest and Stream about
it. Atwell was the kind of man who
would like TO kill IL bear in trap, SO
Anderson took two bear t-&ps,and a lot
Of bait up q gully near Ouimet, looking
for sign. Tic Lrgii.LMGn went Look
ing for bears and left anderson to SET
the traps.
ALI Of "a sudden big she bear ap-
peared BEIGE Anderson st tho foot of d
tree between u coaple OF whose roots
one trap was TO have been set. Not hay
ing any gun, Anderson, so Newsome
says, determined that hypnotic force
had to be used, and that suddenly. An
derson locked tho b2ar III the eyes, and
the bear paused; then Anderson made
three passes with his hands The bear
leaned its head forw;i-d and its eyes
+ bulged out Having satisfied himself
that the bear was properly Influenced,
Anderson yelled for Atwell, but Atwell
was good way off, and before he could
arrive the she BEARS 2.year-old and
yearling cub came out Of the tree at the
same time. A yearling cub alone would
be pretty bad fighter at close quarters,
especially with hypnotized mother
bear near by liable to come to at any
moment, but a 2-yearold cub and a
yearling both at once made a mighty
serious matter.
But Anderson was fully equal to the
emergency. He managed to look at the
bears four eyes at once and soon had
them subjugated. Newsome says that
he would not have believed Anderson's
tale only Anderson is now cross eyed,
which he wasn't before, owing to his
looking both bears in the eyes at once.

of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and my

L have had an almost continual backache.
Icould hardly stoop over, and anything that
required bending over would aggravate my
backache so that would be compelled to 60
and lie down for awhile. l was also greatly
troubled with the urine. Sometimes it was
very frequent, and then again it would
become very scanty and high colored. When
that way my stomach would bloat up terribly.
This is what might be called the dark side
of my story. The bright side followed
when L procured box of Doan's Kidney
Pills at the drug store of Johnson q Hen

was almost like magic. The second day

Defense of the Boiling Democrats.

"A Democratic convention may re-
nounce the Democratic faith, but the
Democracy remains faithful to Dem
ocratic principles. Democratic lead
ers may betray convention to
the Populists, but they cannot seduce the
footsteps of Democratic voters from the
pathway Of honor and of justice. A cam
didate bearing the mandate of Demo-
cratic convention may in this hall open a
canvass levelled against the foundations
of social order and he beholds the Demo
cratic masses confronting him organized
for the defense" The speaker then con-
tinued at length to argue the case and pre-
sent the reasons why he opposed the free
silver propaganda, and was listened to
throughout with the closest attention and
frequently interrupted by cheers.
