THE BEAR ESCAPED.
Funny Incident Reported from a
lIaIme Lnmbe- Camn.

Maine Lumber Ca1np.
The cook at lumber camp near Great
Pond, Ne, discovered a bear one after
noon last month in the act of jamming
his head into the top of the uncovered
bean pot in quest of baked beans. When
the bear heard the cooks steps he lift
ed has head, and by 50 Going brought
the wire bail OF the pot across the back
of his neck. The cook yelled, and the
bear, lettering under tie weight of
nearly barrel of baked beans suspend
ed from his neck, retrea ed up the
woods road in the direction of the back
lot. Though the bear could make good
progress with his load, he had consid-
cradle difficulty in finding his way, be-
cause the bean pot obstrucfed his
vision If he held his head high enough
to keep the pot from dragging il was
in front of his eyes, and if he allowed the
pot to drag his progress was so slow
that the cook was liable to overtalke
him.
The cook had managed to discharge
all the cartridges in repeating rife
without effect and the bear managed to
keep in the road for half a mile, when
the couple met the leading bark team
coming out of the wods on the last turn.
Nobody has yet been able to train a
horse so it viii not be scared by a bear.
and here was big bear ornamented as
to his neck with huge bean pot, and
behind the bear was bare-headed and
frantic cook yelling as loud as his lungs
would allow. The front horses reared
twice and turned sharp to the off side of
the road, splitting two and a half cords
of bark across the sled track. While
the teamster was trying to untangle
his horses the second load came down
the hill, followed in quick succession
bya third and fourth. Every team act
ed as badly as il could. and while the
cook was pleading for somebody to help
him kill the bear, and the tea asters
were swearing about their horses. the
bear got away, carrying the pot of
beans along Chicago Chronicle.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.

This prophecy is marvellous in itself.
and in showing how these better times
can come to the earth. The Bible
golden age is before us and rot behind
us.
Gods book of Nature agrees with
His book Of Revelation in this glorious
hope.
Only with Jesus as king can these
good times come. Every convert TO
Christianity is anothe. step towards
them
The millennium II as certain !. ) come
IS that GcG -uls.
