and this made him 50 angry that he
complained to Dr. Butler. who svmpa-
thized, and sent for the head boy, to
whom he gave strict injunctions that
the boys should not say "Nosey" any
more.
Next day, however, the exciseman re-
appeared even more angry than be-
fore. 1T seems that not boy had said
"Nosey," but that as soon as he was
seen coming the boys ranged them
selves in two lines. through which he
must pass, and all fixed their ewes in
tently upon his nose. Again DIR. Butler
summoned the head boy and spoke
more sharply. ''You have no business, :"
said he. Ito annoy man who is pass

But again the exciseman returned to
DR.. Butler, furious with Indignation, for

boy had covered his face with his hand
until he had gone by.

BEAR THAT SAVES LIFE.
Walks Into Town Carrying Lost Child
in Its Mo- n


Residents Of Apalachin, \. y. had a
bad scare recently, reports the New
York Press, when d four-year-old child
started out alone to look for trailing
arbutus. It was half an hour before
she was missed, and then all trace Of
the little one was lost. Her distracted
father and his neigbbors joined in the
search.
While passing through a rayine they
were startled to see an uncouth object
stumbling toward them some distance
up the road, carrying a bundle in its
mouth. Closer inspection proved to the
terrified searchers that the object was
a bear and the bundle a child. II is
many years since a bear was seen in
this section, but the meE, though I'M
armed, prepared to give battle, one of
their number going back for help. But
the bear trotted toward them as though
totally unconcerned, and when few
yards away carefully laid down the
child ii was carrying by its dress.
When the men approached and took
up the little one the bear did not show
fight, and a closer investigation proved

found the bear belonged to an Italian
who was camping in a nearby barn.

purchased the animal when a cub and
reared him in a New York tenement,
where he was allowed to play with the
children, and it was there he had
learned the trick Of carrying the little

HOLDING THEIR WHEAT.
Millions of Bushels Are Being stored
by Kansas Farmers Until Higher

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 31.-Kansas farm
ers refuse to sell wheat at present
prices. This years crop of 60,000, 900
bushels. together with 10000 900 to 90
100000 bushels of old wheat, is piled up
in the farmers granaries and elevators,
held for a higher price. This has re-
suited in the closing OF many mills in
the state and has materially affected
railroad traffic. Several months since
the Kansas roads made preparations for
a big rush of wheat shipments, but their
trains are going out empty. Thousands
Of freight cars were hunted up and re-
paired Tor use, but they have not been
needed The farmers Of the state are
financially independent, having paid
their debts from previous crops, and
can afford to hold their wheat indeii-

10000 Mills by Wheel.

New York Oct. 2s.-H Darwin Me-
Ilraith and mis- wife Of Chicago, arrived
here Thursday from Southampton.
England, on the American steamship
Pennland- The McIlraiths started on
a wheeling tour on October 10, 1895,
from Chicago. They crossed the
Rockies and on June l arrived in San
Francisco. There they took a steamer
for China. The couple rode through
that country and then proceeded
through Japan. Their route was aft
erwards through Burmah, India, Per-
STA, Austria-Hungary. Germany. France
and Great Britain. The McIlraiths had
ridden nearly 10000 miles when they
boarded the Pennland for New York.
They had some exciting experiences in
Asia and India but we've not molested
by the natives. They intend to ride
from this city to Chicago, and the start

the auspices Of the Century Road Club
of America, Of which the couple are
members, relays of riders will accom-

nEa GOLDEN HAIR FELL OF.
There Il a Hot Time IN store for the
IInfrhresNer.

All faith in the efficacy Of the Golf
feur's art for restoring the rayages of
time on the person and features of the
fair sex has been scattered in the mind
of a certain lady, says the LONDON Tele-
graph. The lady ia question had
reached that period in life when the
nut-brown tresses of youth were liber-
ally besprinkled with the silver of adj
vancing age. A day or two ago she
received an invitation to the wedding
Of a relation, and, as she had
before her the prospect Of meeting
some who had known her when she was
young and beautiful. the lady deter
mined. in order to avoid any shock to
tLeir feelings, to pass half an hour in
the hands Of a coifTeur, so as to emerge
rejuvenated and Respondent. She did
50 and when. later on in the day, she
came forth with golden locks and wavy
curls il the place Of her hithertostriped
couture, the good dame called down the
blessings Of Providence on the head Of
the sldIlful dresser.
But alas! a terrible. catastrophe oc-
CURED. When, on the morrow. her
maid proceeded to comb through the
luXuriant tresses the whole came Off in
her hands, and all that remained to
show that her mistress had been to the
hairdresser's was the similarity be-
tween her own head and the BARRIERS
pole. As for the person who effected
this deplorable metamorphosis, he may
e.pect a lively time before long, when
the Threatened cnse comes into court.
