Hauthorne,s near story.

In "Hawthcrne's First Diary" begun
at his home in Raymond, Me-, when he
was small boy, he tells a bear story,
which is vouched for by his editor. Haw-
thorne gives it MS follows:
Mr.. Henry Turner of Otisfleld took bis
AK and went out between Saturday and
Moose ponds to look at some pine trees. A
rain had just taken off enough of the SNOW
to lay bare the roots of part of the trees.
Under q large root there seemed to be q
cavity, and on examining closely some
thing was exposed very much like long
black hair.
He cut off tho root, saw the nose of q
bear and killed him, pulled out the body,
saw another, killed that and dragged out
the carcass, when he found that there was
a third one in tho den, and that he was
thoroughly awake, too, but as soon as the
head came in sight it was split open with
the ak, so that Mr. Turner alone, with
only an AK, killed three bears in less than
half an hour, the youngest being a good
sized one and what the hunters call "a
yearling.
This is q pretty great bear story, but
probably true, and happened only few
weeks ago, for John Patch, who was here
with his father, Captain Len Patch, who
lives within two miles of Saturday pond,
told me SO Yesterday.

Mementos OF Forgetful Guests That Are

"That is what we call the 'morgue'
shelf, said porter at a down town hotel
the other day as he applied another coat
OF backing to pair of shoes he was shin
ing and incidentally answered question
put to him by the customer. "Some of
those satchels have been here for six or
seven years. A hotel has now and then
guests who fail to show up in the course
OF day or two. The valise 10 left with us
as sort Of security, but the value of the
article and contents seldom equals the bill
due for board and lodging. We have satch-
els of all kinds and sizes. Once In awhile
the article left behind has some value, but
then it is usually discovered that the party
interested has been stopping at the hotel
for some time and put the proprietor off
with excuses. The valises are seldom
claimed.
THAT old tan colored valise has been
here since / first came. What history
there Is contained In some of the travelling
outfits, II they could only tell the story of
their former owners Death once in awhile
leaves satchel on our hands, but In most
instances it Is claimed by the relatives.
Sometimes we find the oldest things i'm
aginable when the valises are opened for
inspection. Weight counts for much, you
know, and bricks make a splendid substi-
tute for wearing apparel so long as it is
heaviness that is required. The 'morgue'
shelf fills mission, suppose" And the
porter threw another glance in the direc-
ton of the left behind material. Pitts

The Wonderful Yogis.

DR.. PEBBLES tells some tall, strcng stories
of wonderful yogis in The Humanitarian
One Of these yogis came one day to sur
prise PEBBLES. He did. The yogi said he
could hypnotic an inanimate object
MAKE the book lying on that stand
move" said the incredulous western man.
Pointing his long. bony finger to 1t, he
exclaimed: Come! Gomez The stand
trembled; the book fell upon the floor and
slid to his feet"
"While in Madjura," the good doctor
goes on, ~ spent considerable time in
casting out demons-that is, in demagne-
tizing and dispossessing those hypnotical-
ly influenced by the ignorant, demoniac
denizens Of the invisible regions, known,
among other names, as pitris, bhutas,
names, pisschas, demons, devas, etc.
Certain eminent physicians conclude that
the majority of the insane are in some way
the subject of hypnotism, of obsessing
demons.
The yogis are queer ducks. If you want
to DO one, you get into a quiet place and
fix the thought on the point of the nose
ten minutes, then on the bridge of the
nose ten minutes. Then close the ears
with the middle fingers, pronouncing
audibly 600 times the sacred syllable
"om," or put the left ankle on the right
side of the chest, and vice versa, so you
look like a cows mouth, and say tom

IN MEMORY OF ONE CORN.
lie Wss Western Lawyer Who Dearl,
Loved = Joke.


Among the early day settlers of Smith
county, OF whom Judge Dick Picker
wrote In his Christmas "reminiscences. was
Attorney Dolph Corn, who has been dead
Tor score OF years. Corn was a splendid
lawyer, but almost failure In the prac.
tioe. He knew no more the value of money
than child. He loved bis family. and SO
long as they were happy S6nd contented no
bubbling over with humor and simply
could not be serious for a moment He
was willing ~ lose case at any time
rather than forego the pleasure of anus.
Ing his friends with witticism.
Mr. Corn once ran for county attorney
and held joint debates with his opponent.
Al one OF their meetings this opponent
limited broadly at one Of Mr.. Corn's weak
nesses as follows: IF any man here to-
night can say ever took fees on both sides
OF case like some one / could name, let
him now stand up and say so. II any one
can say ever swindled client or that
have ever been guilty Of dishonest ac-
ton, let him now say so.'
Then 1t came Mr.. Corn's turn, and he
responded as follows: sit Is perhaps true
that have taken fees on both sides of a
case, and 1t Is source Of great regret that
some other lawyer does not move into the
country, SO won't have to attend to both
sides. Gentlemen, 1t may also be true
that you know something of me that
would not sound well II told. II such Is
the case, l want to say that you will do
me Kindness to keep quiet about 1t until
after the election is over"
This view Of the situation SO struck the
humor of the voters that Mr.. Corn carried
the township by practically unanimous
vote ION one OCCASION" says Judge
Picker, 1.-TWO men came in Corn's Office
and had him make out a chattel mortgage,
and then the old question arose as to who
should pay for It, One said, You get the
mortgage and should pay for what you
get The other said: You was to give
the mortgage. How could you deliver it
before 1t was executedY Finally one said /:
Let's settle 1t according to custom. will
abide by 1t II you will. and, both agree
ing, they left 1t to Corn to say what the
custom was. Dolph scratched his head,
but finally ruefully said We'll, don't
exactly like that. So far as am concern
ed don't like to abide by the custom, for
the custom is that whenever two fellows
want chattel mortgage drawn they come
In here, and when the work is done they
usually get into quarrel as to who should
pay and go off without any one paying
