Why He DeDarted,

Burke once rushed out of the House
of Commons in a rage, because as lie
rose to speak, holding a bundle of pa
pers, a member jumped up, saying,
MIR. Speaker, l hope the honorable
gentleman does not intend to read all
those papers and to bore us with a
speech in the bargain"
"a lion put to fight by the braying OF
an ass" whispered the witty George
Selwyn.
This old anecdote is capped" by one
told in Sir NJ. Grant Duff's "Diary' OF
a London engineer.
The engineer, though not easily wcr T.
ed, admitted that lie was once put TO
flight by dealer in marine stores. de
had gone to examine, from the mans
back yard, a house which he was
thinking of purchasing on behalf OF a
railway company. While stard ns
there. he saw huge mastiff making at
him open-mouthed..
"Oh! you're in no danger, sir" SAID
the dealer, hes very particular about
what he eats" The engineer instant y
left the yard.

Q Q o Q .

SN the eastern part of New Hamp-
shire, well down in the southern
half of the State, there is long, low
range of hills, the highest of which is
known as Blue hill, or Croydon noun
tain. This peak is nearly 5000 feet in
height, towering in friendly rivalry to
Its neighbor, the historic Kearsarge, not
thirty miles away.
Nearly the whole of the mountain Is
included in the famous Corbin park,
tract of $4,000 acres inclosed as game
preserve by the late Austin Corbin, and
probably one of the largest in the Uni
ted States.
A large portion is heavily wooded,
and, until within few years, was the
haunt of animals as wild and savage as
any that now roam in the Wilderness
AS late as 1867 a wolf was shot on this
mountain, and bears have been seen
there even since that date.
In the fall of the opening year of the
century the people Of all the towns
around Croydon mountain Joined in a
great hunt for bear whose destruct-
iveness had caused them a great deal
Of trouble. Scarcely a farmer in the
whole section but had experienced q
loss in his sheepfold, pigpen or barn
yard, and it was determined to hunt
Bruin to the bitter end. The bear was
believed to be an unusually large and
ferocious animal, hence the feeling
against him was aggravated quite as
much by fear as by the desire to pun
ish him.
The party organized at the foot Of the
mountain, and formed a great circle Of
men, boys and dogs. The signal horn
was sounded for starting and continued
around the whole circle, which signal
was to be repeated every half hour un-
til all arrived at the top of the noun
tain.
All through that clear October day
the sound of horns and the barking of
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1900-01-12

dogs startled the echoes of the wooded
hills. People in the valleys heard the
repeated signaling, but their listening
ears could distinguish nothing to indi-
cate the success of the hunters.
High up on the eastern slope of the
mountain was the Andrews homestead,
which comprised an ordinary siXty-acre
lot, with the farm buildings erected by
Mr.. Andrews. The settler had died a
year or two previously, and the work
devolved upon Jerry, boy Of Is, sturdy
and freckle-faced, and somewhat large
for his years. Jerry had not gone out
with the hunters, the sowing of piece
Of rye compelling him to remain at
home.
The pioneer boy was destined, how
ever, to meet with an adventure much
more exciting than any that befell the
hunters.
Jerry finished sowing his rye late in
the afternoon, and as the sun was still
an hour or two high he went across lots
to visit several traps he had set for
mink in the upper pasture. He exam
ined his traps, finding an imprisoned
mink in one, and started homeward
just as the dusk was beginning to creep
down the mountain.
He directed his steps through the low.
er pasture, wherein was inclosed the
farm stock, they having been shut off
from ranging the higher pasture since
the depredations Of Bruin had become
so alarming.
He could hear the familiar tink-a-ling
of the COW bell as he hurried in search
of the cattle in the thickening gloom.
He found them grouped in bunch,
tossing their horns and acting in a
strange manner. Jerry's first thought
was of the presence Of n bear, and he
hurriedly looked over the herd to see If
any were missing. To his dismay he
could not find a favorite yearling.
Jerry was no coward, but he had no
weapon with him, nor anything that
would answer for one except the heavy
hoe which he had used to dig around
the stumps in the rye field. With this
in hand, he started off in search of the
heifer.
He tried to think that perhaps the
creature had wandered away by her.
self, and this idea was strengthened
when he found some tracks which he
thought were hers near piece of
marshy ground that bordered the
woods. The tracks led directly into the
forest, and the pioneer lad, thinking
only of discovering the missing year
ling, plunged into the underground.

There are some who believe that in
the matter of dressmaking women are
still in the dark ages, though their re-
Gently expressed Difference to the man
tailor shows that they are emerging
into the light. Woman now demands
that her ways and manners shall be
subject to the same standards as those
applied to man, but on the question of
clothes she must still suffer a little by
the comparison. For a man does not
go into retirement and deny himself to
his kind while the tailor is at his house.
He does not pore over pattern books,
and on the subject of findings" he Is
blissfully ignorant. One can hardly
fancy a man going about choosing the
lining for his coat, the buttons for his
vest and all the innumerable elements
that go to cover the human form divine.
Of course, women have the object of
beauty as well as utility in their minds,
and in their zeal for the former they
will give soul and strength in the search
for becomingness. This is well, but it
Is encouraging to note that it is now
possible for woman to be we'll dressed
without devoting her days to the task.
nformertimes it was almost impossible
to buy women's garments ready made,
and it was necessary for woman eth.
er to make them herself or employ
dressmakers more or less skilled. But
now she is no longer under the tyranny
of the thimble. She can buy her clothes
ready made, and when she dons these
she is not to be distinguished from the
Wearer of the made-to-order gowns,
while she feels far superior to her who
wears the homemade dresse.

BookMorms Deheh.

Modern books, however rapidly they
may deteriorate from other causes, are
protected from bookworms by the
chemicals used in paper-makins'
Such, at least, is the conclusion of Dr'
Garnett. who, after forty-eight years
of service as keeper of printed books az
the British museum, is able to say t1S'
he has seen only one bookworm, a'~
that was imported from Crete.
