nal in on three sides began to fire when
they were half mile away. AS the
shots began to hit the lodges near by
the animal showed signs of uneasiness,
facing its pursuers and threatening to
charge. Then a shot would come zip
ping against a rock. causing the bear
to turn and attempt to descend the
steep front of the cliff.
The teacher of the Clewleyvil.e
school had taken her pupils out that
day for a picnic in the woods, mixing
pleasure with some lessons in nature
study. They had made beautiful
wreaths of autumn leaves which they
had bound about their heads and waists
and were sitting down for luncheon
when the bear, driven to take the risk
by the approach of the hunters, started
to pick its way down the quartz face of
Black Cap. The lodges were steep most
of the way, and in places they were very
slippery, so that no animal except n
bird could gain so much as toe hold.
BY the time the bear had gained the
shelf, where a ravens nest had been
built for many years. the hunters were
on top of the hill and pouring a dan
gerous shower of shot upon the crea-
lures head. 1t was too much for bear
nature to endure. so the animal got
ratified at the very time when it should
have kept its head and came tumb,ing
down the last part of the cliff, landing
not two rods away from the party of
school children. Several bones had been
broken in the fall, though the beast
was still able TO put up a good fight.
As soon as the usual amount of scream
ing had been done the young folks
gathered around the injured ANNA.
and began to express their pity in
words OF endearment.
When the farmers came around the
hill to kill the bear they were met by
children, who stood in front OF the
rifles and protested against such a
cruel act. The p.eadings of the young
people prevailed, and the bear was
patched up and taken to warm barn,
where it will spend the winter as the
guest of all the children in the village.

PRETTY BEAR STORY
Wounded Beast Is Adopted by q

Unexpected Complications Caused by
Bruins Change of Autumn Ways
"A Hunt with n Rather Re-
markabIe Ending.

According to a New York Sun CORE
spondent residing at East Eddington,
Me-, old hunters, old women and veneer
able tradition, which is more aged than
either, assert that when the bears get
ready to 60 into winter quarters they
pass their last week of wakefulness un-
der the oak trees, eating the fallen
acorns. These are full, of fannie acid,
which Fuckers up the internal organs
of the bears so that they shall not feel
the pangs of hunger during their pro-
tracted maps in hollow trees and under
windfalls. Having reduced their stom-
achs to less than half the normal size,
the bears swallow large quantities OF
indigestible spruce gum to take up the
gastric juices, and then turn in for a
good long sleep.
This year the bears have introduced
new feature into the programme.
They took the acorns all right, but
when it came time to begin their sleep,
the apples were so ripe and juicy in the
orchards that appetite got the better of
habit, and for the past two weeks the
orchards have been suffering from
more dangerous foes than the small
boys. The bears have cheated the cider
mills of half their output this fall.
In spite of every expedient that
could be adopted to scare the animals
away, they have broken down limbs of
trees and wrought great damage, in
vading the villages where no bears had
been seen for half century, and keep
ing many women at home from harvest
suppers and sociables that only a
death in the family would otherwise
have hindered them from attending.
Partly to get bear meat for winter
consumption, but chiefly to save the
apples from destruction, the farmers
organized hunt during the last warm
spell. Every body who owned a gun
was invited. The men formed a line
more than half mile long and swept
the town from the Bradley line to Cliff
ton. A mile to the east of Sunk Haze
meadows they scared up two bears, one
of which was brought down before it
had gone a mile. The other kept on
to the base of Black Cap mountain, 60
ing up on the north side and keeping
among the bushes until it stood out on
the bare top.
The men who were hemming the ami

Good Manners In Turkey.

Each guest in a Turkish household
helps himself to food from the main
dish with the aid of big spoon. For
the host to fish out wing or leg
from a dish of stewed fowl and pre-
sent it to guest is considered a
great compliment; and for Turk OF
high degree TO roll morsel between
his fingers and put il into the mouth
of visitor is looked upon as good
manners.

The new century was only four
days old when three big Wall street
records had been broken. The dis

the total recorded sales of the New
York stock exchange amounted to
l.S2S,000 shares, about 100000 more
than the highest record of the eX-
change. AS a matter of fact the
sales aggregated over 1000, 900 shares,
as many transactions were unreport-
ed, so rapid was the days speculation.
The last record did not stand long, as
the stock sales Monday exceeded p
100000 shares Prices continued on
upward by leaps and bounds, the fren-
zy of the speculation being such that
staid old stocks like Burlington and
Quincy, Lackawana and others re
corded large advances. The trad
ing was almost wholly in railroad
shares, the industrial stocks being
weak and neglected.

What, AGAIN ?"

There was once an Englishman
coming up New York bay who was
dissatisfied with the prospects. He
said:
My country will have to come over
here and whip this country"
What, again." said a cynical
American.
He evidently thought that two fail
ures should be regarded as a suf-
ficient success.
The Utica Observer in the same
spirit says; The people of the
United States will decide whether the
Constitution follows the flag" Well,
they have decided that it did not

tended the Constitution over some of
them. Alaska was acquired in the

That bright perennial DR.. r. G.
Flower has been heard from again.
Many a time his name has been en-
blazoned across the pages of New
England newspapers, and many an in
dividual has been touched in the
mind by the disquisition setting forth
the doctors power to put dilapidated
anatomy in order, and later touched
in pocket book on calling on the ge-
nial doctor. The doctor ran a big
institute in Boston for a time, and
made periodical visits to New Eng

mining company with Offices in New
York. The company paid dividends
of two per cent month for three
months. Then the dividends stopped.
Now the stockholders who are said
to have invested to the amount of
100000 and possibly 100000 to
100000, want an accounting and are
asking for the whereabouts of the
doctor, who left his accustomed
haunts at the Waldorf-Astoria several
weeks ago.
