PLAGUE OF BEARS AND BIRDS.
Pennsylvania People Ask the Law
for Protection Against a.
Rush of Game.

"When it gets SO that folks have to
shoe pheasants and stone bear and deer
out of their gardens and fields it is
pretty near time that something was
done about it," said a Stroudsburg
(Pa.) merchant, just back from a bust
ness trip up the Delaware, land that is
just the situation in Lehman township,
Pike county. 1 had business with Eu-
gene White, who lives near Bushkill,
and found him all heated up and in
anything but pleasant humor when 1
called.
Its all on account of the pestifer-
Gus pheasants,' he said. 4 might as
well turn my chickens loose and give
'em the run of my garden as to have
the pheasants pounce down on it as
they are doing and scratching every
thing up. Just look there, now!"
said he.
II looked in the direction he was
pointing and saw a group of pheasants
strut out from the bushes into Mr..
Whites garden ind begin scratching.
counted ten of them.
"'AFe they tame pheasants?' asked.
"fa1ncl' he replied. Yes, they are
tame enough now, because they know
the law protects them, but they will be
wild enough by and by, when we have
the right to shoulder a gun and go out
to shoot 'em! These are wild pleas
ants all right, hatched in the woods
around here, and now putting in their
time eating up everybody's garden
within reach
"'The bears and the deer, though
said Mr.. White, after the interview was
over, haven't bothered me any, but
they are vexing other folksaround here
like everything. Why, only the other
day over on the Barren, Hi Anderson
was hoeing in his garden, and he heard
tremendous snort and shuttle. He
looked around, and, not seeing any
thing, went on with his hoeing. The
snort and snuffie were repeated. Hi
looked around again, and there he saw
a big black bear making all sorts of
ugly faces at him over the stone wall
and acting as if he was getting ready
to climb over the wall, drive Hi away,
and take possession of that garden him
self. Hi picked up stone and chucked
it at the impudent bear, and it hit
Bruin square on the nose. That seemed
to change his mind, but he went away,
shaking his head and growing back
at Hi, and determined, I'll bet any
thing, to come back there, maybe, with
help, rout Hi out, and gather that gar
den, as sure as you live. I've heard of
two or three more Of the settlers back
here having to stone and club bears Off
their premises the past two weeks, and
up in the neighborhood Of the ponds
the deer have played havoc with the
farmers rye. There isn't any law
against killing bear, of course, but If a
person kills bear now he only wastes
'em, for their fur isn't any good. 1 tell
you, if things keep on this way, us back
woods dwellers have got to have some
protection, or some of us will feel like
taking the law In our own hands and
making a move on these feathered and
furred marauders.'
"And won't blame 'em q bit If they
dol" declared the Stroudsburg mer-
chant.-N. Y. Sun.

Alcohol for Automobiles.

The majority of motor cars are now
driven by petroleum, but French en-

instead of it, and motors are being al

fear of explosion with alcohol and it is
said to be less costly than petroleum.
