COW AND BE AR.

A man who was brought UP on
farm in Cherryfield, Maine, recently
told reporter for the New York Sun
several stories illustrative Of the cour-
age of animals in defending their
young. One Of the best of the stories
has to do with a time when the boy was
twelve years old. If his youthfulness is
taken into the account, the adventure
will be seen to have been a pretty live
ly one.
One of our COWS had hidden her calf,
and | had set out to find him. / heard
the COW lowing in the woods and went
to where she was in clearing grown
up with ferns and raspberry bushes.
Above the bushes l saw her back and
horns. and could tell that she was fight
ing with something that could not see.
She was standing her ground facing
about so as to keep her enemy, what
ever it was, always under her eye.
l thought of nothing bigger than a
dog or fox, and was pressing forward
to get look at it, when a bear sud-
denly rose up on his launches, stand
ing head and shoulders above the
bushes. At that the cow made rush
for him, with horns lowered
The bear struck at her with his paw,
and then grappled her with both fore
paws by the head. The COW, under full
Roadway, was too much for him to
stand up against. She knocked him
over, breaking his hold, and the way
she horned him and butted him about
among the bushes was a caution to
bears.
The sight was too much for my
nerves, and | went up tree. It was
needless, SO far as danger from the
bear was concerned. for the cow had
him whipped in the first round, and he
got away as soon as he could, whimper-
ing and biting at his sides In the
places where the cows horns had
pricked him.
From the tree l could see the calf
where he was hidden. He was what I
had come for, but l did not feel like
getting down until l was sure the
COW had got quiet. But she knew her
! friends, and when | went to the calf
and set him on his feet,-he was hid
ing, like fawn, close to the ground
she made no objection, but went quiet
| ly back to the pasture, with the calf
| following.

SECOND MEETING OF OPEN CONGRESS
Spirited Discussion of the Currency
Question Took Place.

The second meeting of the Scranton
Open Congress was held last evening in
323 Adams avenue and was very lively
and interesting. The constitution was
approved and then f.. l.. Williams in
troduced the subject of the evening.
THE Currency Question" At times
the enthusiasm ran high. The lecturer
maintained that neither gold nor sill
yer was fit for money, and explained
the desirabilty of giving the govern
ment a monopoly of the banking busi-
ness instead of giving this monopoly
to private individuals. He said that
one hundred dollars per capita would
be sufficient to do our business and
that the amount issued should be so
limited.
John Gray delivered quite an grafton
on the subject of the evening and re-
ceived hearty applause. He showed
that it makes no difference to the
working people what kind of currency
is in use and that they are equally poor
in all countries where the same system
of business prevails as here.
DIR. Szlupas took the same ground
and expressed the hope that intelligent
people would not remain Indifferent
until a revolution would become inevit-
able
Rev. DR.. Bird made the most i'm
pressive speech of the evening. He de-
| clared that he was in favor of the free
| coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 tC
| /, but that this without prohibition
would not establish complete prosper
| ity. Professor A. Langerfeld put in
good word for gold money as means
for accomplishing the purposes of its
| advocates. He also showed that nc
system would bring about any real inn
provements unless men would carry
out among themselves the teachings
of Christ in an intelligent manner and
in the spirit in which He evidently in
| tended to have them interpreted.
Leroy Wheeler expressed his joy a.
the success of this organization ant
told a very amusing incident of how
some people looked upon it as a dan
gerous place, because some cranks were
said to have gotten in.
The subject next Tuesday will b.
Money" and Professor A. LangerfelC
will introduce it by scientific lecture

GAVE A LIBERTY SOCIAL.
Children Have a Patriotic Evening at
Penn Avenue baptist Church.

One of the most interesting of WASH
ington birthday affairs was the annu-
al liberty social of the primary schools
of the Penn Avenue Baptist church,
held in the church lecture room last
evening. Over $50 pupils and their
teachers participated and the attend

Every event and incident of the
evening was of an emphatically patri-
otic character. The participants wore
costumes recalling the gallant days OF
Washington; the decorations were sole
ly of red white and blue Hnd every rec
itation, song and other exercise
breathed a fervent patriotic spirit.
The back ground of the stage was a
camp scene. Among its features were
tent. stack of arms, kettle and tripod
and armed sentinels on patrol.
A pretty exercise was the croWning
of Washington participated in by four
| teen little girls. With appropriate sem
timents expressing the virtues of the
Father of His Country, each entwined
| leaves in a crown that surmounted a
| frame containing his picture. Another
| interesting and instructive exercise was
| a flag drill by eleven boys in which
| were displayed all the various flags
that have been representative of our
government. A short history of "Old
Glory by Frank Hallstead was a
pleasant accompaniment to this.
Among the most noteworthy musical
and literary numbers We're a recitation
"A Soldier" written specially for the
occasion by one of the teachers, anC
| delivered by Walter Hallstead: instru.
mental trio, Edward Calender, (violinI

Cultured appreciative and represen-
tative were the salient features of the
immense throng that filled the Hickory
Street Presbyterian church last night,
and the attraction that gathered them
was an entertainment under the aus
pices of the church choir. The pros
gramme that was listened to with
close attention was composed of the
best talent in the city. Such artists
as John t. Watkins, Charles Doersam,
Gustav Repert, Arnold Lohmann, of
Wilkes-B Barre; Miss Lydia Sailor and
Miss Porter participated. The pro-
gramme being lengthy, encores were
not responded to, and each number re-
ceived sreat applause. The opening
was an overture by Lawrence, which
was well rendered; and was followed
by Charles Doersam, whose playing
was in keeping with his past work.
"Gipsy Life" was sung by the choir.
and the rendition was perfect. Mes

applause, and sang Fiona" The audi
ence encored again and again, and the

be heard again later in the evening
sufficed. Miss Sailor was well received,
and her rendition of Spring Song" by

the talented young Wilkes-Barrean.
was introduced. Next followed the
Scranton Saengerrunde and they sang
that favorite German ballad, "Sontag

her best, and proved favorite. A
duet by Miss Sailor and Mr.. Watkins
followed then came Gustav Repert.
the tenor soloist, who won his way
into the hearts of all with his excel
lent singing of "On the Waters" The
second part of the programme was
