Bite on the Insulntors, Thinking That They
Are Crab Apples.
SHERIDAN PLANTATION, Me-, July 2a.-The
bears OF northern Maino combine q great love
for the crab apples which are grown in that
regionl with Ignorance OF tho appliances Of
modern civilization. When a telegraph COM
pany started to put up poles in the woods be-
tween Ashland and Fort Keat, the simple
minded bears began to sniff at the tall sticks with
suspicion, evidently installing them for some
new form OF dcadfall that was erected for the
special purpose Of killing bears. They stayed
away from the camps of the workmen all the
time the route was getting surveyed and while
the poles were going up. refusing to respond
to the Turing odors Of scorched fat pork or
burnt molasses. But when the glass insulators
were screwed to the long arms of the poles,
every bear In northern Aroostook came out to
watch the progress OF the work.
Although the superintendent Of the job pro-
nounced the line completed and ready for

A raft was built to float down the
river. Vest stayed on shore to line the
raft down and his companion was
aboard the raft. The ice at one place
was not strong enough to support
Vests weight and he was forced to let
the line go. The raft went spinning

OF the raft. In a moment the raft had

Jumped for his life to the rock and the
cargo had spilled into the swift stream.
The stove and tent of the men sank,
but the sacks of egg cans went float
ing down stream.
1t was bitter cold. but the situation
was desperate. Vest did not ponder
long upon what to do. He plunged
into the stream and pulled out the
sacks one at time. To do this he had
to run along and into the stream for q
mile and a half. His clothes froze To
him, but he saved his eggs. Then he
went back to his companion and threw
out rope and towed him ashore.
Three men who happened to be camp
ing near by gave the two wet men
shelter until they had dried and
warmed themselves.
Sixty-five miles further down Vest
reached the Big Salmon, where Major
Walsh was camping. Major Walsh
wanted supplies. and he bought Vests
