Bear Liked Sugar.

In Vermont maple sugar camp,
owned by a Mr.. Forsythe, the owner
this spring often missed cakes of the
maple sugar which had been set out in
the snow to harden. For long time
the men at the camp watched for the
thief, but never caught him. until at
last one day they found bear tracks
leading away from the camp, and fol-
lowed them until they came to a cave
in the hillside. Mr.. Bear was not at
home, but in one corner of the cave they
found their cakes of maple sugar neat
ly piled up. Mr.. Bear had hidden away
nearly 200 pounds of the sweet stuff,
and when they went to carry 1T away
they met him coming through the
woods, walking straight up on his hind
feetlil<e u man and carrying more sugar
in his arms. When he saw the men he
did not wait to be shot, but dropped his
sugar and ran away like any other thief.

EARNS THOUSANDS.
Chicago Woman Mnsseuse Whose
Hands Bring Her About
$4,000 Yearly.

Half the world is as ignorant of how
the other half makes it's money as of
how it lives. There is Chicago wom-
an, for instance, who earns with her
hands yearly sums that would make the
average brainworker envious. She
does not paint, nor write, nor design,
nor make dresses, nor do any of the
things that one usually picks out as
woman's work. She earns all this
money by giving massage to women,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
She is not In any way an impressive
woman. She is of medium size and mid
die age. She gives one the idea of
being in perfect health and of being
kindly and sympathetic. Otherwise
there is nothing noticeable about her.
But her patrons consider her a Won
derful woman.
Most of her work is done at the homes
of her patrons, though they may come
to her establishment at about half the
home rate. She rubs q woman an hour
at each visit, and her patrons are posi-
tive that she imparts to them a tre-
mendous amount of vitality.
OF course, there are many such wom-
en-. The only remarkable thing about
this particular woman is the amount of
money she earns. Her monthly re-
ceipts run from 5000 to 5000, every dol
lar of which she earns personally.

FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Uncle SANS Fighters Take Possess
sion of the Railroads and startie
Natives by Their Recklessness.

Put n crowd of American youths in
the center of the Sahara desert and
they will find something to amuse
themselves with and something on
which to exert their ingenuity, says the
Philadelphia Press. Some of the boys
in the Philippines act as though they
were on picnic after the days fighting
is over or during the time they are
waiting for something to fire at.
The American forces have In their
possession good stretch of 12o miles
of railroad between Manila and Dagu-
pan, and the natives stand in wide-eyed
wonder to see the reckless Yankees
open wide the throttles of the engines
and let them tear madly over bridges
and around curves. That is not the
Spanish way of doing things.
About Caloocan, the machine shops
and roundhouses swarm with members
of the engineer corps who tinker
around, fixing this engine or building
a shelter with that piece of tin.
The small dummy railroad which
runs parallel to the Manila G. Dagupan
railroad has been adopted by the Twen-
tieth Kansas volunteers and the Utah
Light Horse artillery, and has been
christened "the Kansas & Utah Short
Line"
The boys use it constantly to go to
and from the city. AS they take moth
ing seriously except fighting, it is n
great wonder that some serious acci-
dent has not occurred during their
reckless rides, but luck seems to be
with them in more ways than one, and
no one worries about such trifes as

A MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.
How a Man Was Saved from Instan-
tnneous Death When the En-
gine Blew Up.

zone Of the strangest accidents in
my experience" said boiler expert to
a New Orleans Times-Democrat man,
occurred few years ago at small
sawmill town over in Texas. They had
a narrow-guage road on which logs
were hauled by n pony locomotive.
One day the two forward wheels of the
little machine jumped the track and
the crew of seven men went out to jack
it into place. AS the engine stood. it
had cant forward, which threw all
the water In the boiler to the front end,
and, as there was lively fire in the
box, 1t soon got the other end red
hot. This trifling circumstance was
overlooked by the crew, who proceeded
calmly with the jaclSing, six of them
working at the sides and one lying fiat
on his stomach under the rear trucks.
"As the engine slowly assumed
horizontal position the water ran back
to the red-hot portion, and, bang! the
whole thing disappeared in space. The
six men also disappeared. They were
| distributed in small sections over at
| least ten acres, and there wasn't enough
left of either engine or crew to make
| u respectable souvenir. While this dis
integration was in progress the man
who had been lying fiat on his stomach
| was experiencing the surprise of his
| life. He had heard hideous clap Of
thunder, and when he looked up, 10 and
behold! he was all by his lonely. His
comrades and the pony locomotive,
which was but just then standing over
his back, had vanished like dream.
All that was left was the landscape. He
| was wholly unhurt"

ANNOYING TACTICS.
The Rebels at San Fernando
Make Nightly Attacks.
LIEUTENANT PEARCE A SUICIDE.
Americans Tried to Form IA Gordon
About Insurgents on the Morong
Peninsula, but vost of Them
Slipped Through the Lines.

MANILA, June THE rebels on Sat.
urday night made an attack upon the
friendly town of Macabebe and, after
driving the inhabitants out, burned the
town.
The insurgents nightly annoy the
troops at San Fernando Several Ameri
cans have been slightly wounded re.
Gently.
The enemy have several Krupp guns
which they bring forward and use for
fring large shells into the town, then re-
treating with their guns.
One of the insurgent shells fell within
30 yards of General MacArthur's head
quarters Saturday evening. The Ameri
can troops do not reply to the nightly
outbreaks.
The American forces have occupied the
Morong peninsula, and General Halls
column Is encamped at Morong. Major
Truman, marching across from Binango-
nan, found 1t impracticable to form a
Gordon, and the insurgents, with the ex-
ception of hundred or two, escaped
through the mountains after General Pho
del Pillar, dragging their battery by buff
faloes at night. A few, however, may be
trapped.
The Washington troops have returned
to Pasig, but the programme of the other
troops is uncertain.
The present expedition shows the diff
Guilty which Is encountered by an army
which must depend upon wagon trains
in catching barefooted bandits in their
own mountains, and also gives proof that
the rebels do not intend to fight battles.
General Hall left Santa Teresa Mon
dny morning and marched II miles to
Morong, up and down rocky hills and
through woods and swamps. Scores of
his men fell out. owing to the extreme
heat, and were left to follow as best they
could.
The head Of the army arrived at Mo
rong at noon. having exchanged only q
few shots with insurgent Skirmishers on
the way. Groups of stragglers followed
all day, but the force was 200 smaller
than when it started. The men were al
most 36 hours without rations. and II
was considerable of an achievement fol
them to cover the ground tley did.
Lieutenant Fred w. Pearce Of the
Sixth United States artillery committed
suicide here this morning. He came
from Iloilo a week ago on leave, bu,
fingered here beyond the limit and failed
to reply to repeated kilograms from his
commander.
Yesterday he was put under arrest or
his commanders order This morning
another officer called to see him, when he
suddenly pulled revolver from under
his pillow and shot himself through the
head. His friends say his mind was af
fected by recent sunstroke.
A Spanish paper asserts that Colone
Arguelhs, one of the two members OF

The sultan Of Turkey is most in

ten about him abroad. Every day
translations are laid before him from
the newspapers of the world, and these
are all closely perused. His majesty Is
o bad hand at suffering. At one time
he wanted to have an aching tooth re-

molars drawn out in his presence that
he might have an opportunity Of judg-
ing the extent of suffering entailed, and
finally the sultan decided that he
would rather bear the pain than under
90 such an ordeal.
