THE BEAR ESCAPED.
Funny Incident Reported from
Maine Lumber Camp.


The cook at lumber camp near Great
Pond, Me-, 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 his head, and by so doing brought
the wire bail of the pot across the back
of his neck. The cook yelled, and the
bear, tottering under the weight of
nearly a barrel of baked beans suspend
ed from his neck, retreated 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 obstructed his
vision. If he held his head high enough
to keep the pot from dragging it 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 overtake
him.
The cook had managed to discharge
all the cartridges in repeating rifle
without effect and the bear managed to
keep in the road for half 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 will not be scared by bear,
and here was a 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, spilling two and 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
by a 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 teamsters
were swearing about their horses, the
bear got away, carrying the pot of
beans along.-Chicago Chronicle.

Municipal corruption in Philadel-

pressed, it is safe to say the readers Of

OF these misdeeds. The present sensa-
tion down there is dividing honors with

free rein, but II any of them should allow
their memories to wander back year

one of the dozens OF other sensations

which comes from a leading Russian
journal, is that Alsace and Lorraine be
"neutralized'-be made to become an in

This, upon it's face, appears fantastical but
the fact that it comes from a Russian

The Star and the Regiment.

This paper is glad to have participated
from the beginning in the consideration
and sympathy for the District regiment
which envelopes the entire community to-
day and bursts forth in ch GERS in song in
martial music and in tears When the
time came for the District to contribute it's
quota to the volunteer army The Star
labored assiduously to secure for it the
right to send a full regiment into the field
despite the fact that from mathematical
standard the District would have been rep
resented by battalion only, not sufficient
to maintain separate existence in the
campaign. In consequence of the change
of plan by the War Department authori-
ties, for which The Star put forth every
effort. the Districts representation in the
volunteer army was enlarged, and the
presence of an entire regiment at Santiago
was the consequence. The Star contributed
largely to supply deficiencies in the regi-
ment's equipment, and when the men In
camp needed delicacies beyond the army
ration The Star gave space and energy to
the work of sending them means to aid
them in this manner. 1t was the pleasure
able opportunity also of The Star to main
tain the line of communication throughout
the campaign between the regiment and
Washington by dispatching daily bundle
OF current issues, from which the boys
might read the news from their home
When the time came for the journey back

efforts to ensure a proper reception pro-
viding for the comfort of the men at Mon
tauk and on their way to Washington. and
keeping prominently before the public the
thought of practical relief before and after
the arrival in this city. The Star shares in
the pride of the people in this fine body of
young men. and 1t is amply rewarded for
its efforts in their behalf by the enviable
record which they have made

In complmenting the discipline and ap-
pearance OF the District regiment as 1t pre-
pared to break camp at Montauk Point,
Gen. Shafter merely echoed the sentiments
of practically all the general officers who
have come in direct contact with this or
ganization since it went into the field
Gen. Wheeler waxed enthusiastic in his
comments. Gen. Bates likewise compli-
mented the organization warmly. The regi-
ment deserves every word of praise which
has been uttered. Its business-like atten-
ton to duty, its high moral tone. its free
dom from rowdyism, it's excellent equip
ment, and as it energies from the long con-
tinued test its relatively high state of
physical fitness all point to it as a model
body of volunteer soldiers. type of the
citizen fighters upon whom the republic re-
lies in it's emergencies.

Home Again.

AT last it sounds. The phrase we longed to
hear
Is brave and glad in the triumphant cheer,
But tenderest when weary one may rest
At last with those who know and love him
best.
The fieeting years bid memory efface
Life's crude and cruel lines. In softened
grace
The picture, lit by hope instead of pain,
Shines, as our boys repeat 1t; Home
again."
And We. who could but watch the empty
chair
And pray for the one whose place was
waiting there.
Found in the old-time haunts so sad a
change
That places most familiar grew most
strange.

scene,
With step grown lighter and with pulses
keen,
Like wanderers hear the welcoming refrain.
For we. with you, at last are Home again. -

The other is the purpose of those who de-
sire to see the country benefit by an ex-
pCsure of obsolete methods of doing bust
ness. They are accusing nobody of crime
or incompetency. for as a matter of fact
they have no specific information to guide
by. Neither are they asking that anybody
be shielded. If crime has been committed
and incompetency exhibited they want the
responsibility located and the proper pun
ishment administered. But first of all, and
as the main thing, they want to know what
errors occurred and why, so that in future
the War Department may have the benefit
OF the best business methods devisable In
a word they want the conduct of the war
investigated, and not this or that official
thrust under the harrow of partisanship
or personal vindictiveness.
Whether this work should be done by a
special committee appointed by the Presi-
dent or by Congress is of small conse-
quence. The prime consideration is that it
