ears TO the front and snorted. Croker
pulled on the reins, cut out twice with
his whip and told the animal go long, y
an order which was promptly obeyed
The horse reared on his hind legs and
making a sharp turn, which cramped
the wheel and overset the wagon
throwing the driver, passenger and an
assorted lot of mail bags and bundles
into the ditch. AS soon as this feat had
been accomplished the horse ran for
home,
"Whoal" yelled Croker. whoa!
gosh darn ye, or I'll"
Then he heard a noise behind him
and looking around saw the bears and
concluded that it was his turn to run,
and put his resolution into practice at
once. As he was speeding in the direc-
ton of East Bucksport and the horse
was diligently pursuing a course which
led to Brewer, he heard the school
ma'am calling after him:
stop where you are, Mr.. Stage
Driver; don't go any further or it will
spoil my photograph. Splendid They
are all in it, three bears, man and a
broken wagon, I'm so glad the bears
came along when they did. The light
was just right. I've made a nice ex-
posure. Now you may go and kill the
bears If you feel you must, but it seems
too bad-they look so innocent"
She looked about her. The driver
and horse were both out of sight, and
the bears were disappearing behind a
ciump of bushes.
oh, dear" she added, "why did he 60
away? I'm all alone, and there are
sure to be snakes on the road summing
themselves in the warm gravel"
Croker told thrilling story of his
fight with the bears, which lasted more
than an hour. When be was fined for
neglecting to deliver the mails on
time the teacher was called in to give
evidence. She was anxious to help him
out, but overdid the job and made
things bad for Croker, when she pro
duced the photographs she had taken
OF the scene. The mail route over the
back road is about to be let for a term
OF i've years to the lowest responsible
bidder, and there are many who seek
ahe Job. Croker has horses and a com
plete outfit for the work, but he will
not put in a bid. It Is a thankless tasl,
to carry the mails, he saws.

Toledo, Jan. 2.-Very substantial re-
ports are current that the coffee and
sugar war. which has waged so long
and bitterly between the Arbuckles and
Havemeyer interests, is nearing an ad-
sustment satisfactory to all parties.
For four long years the Woolson
Spice company has not made an adj
vance In the price of roasted coffee.
II is now understood that today, with
an understanding with and the assent
or the Arbuckles, the Woolson people

per pound on their roasted product.
Word also comes through private
sources that B. II. Howell & Co.. of
New York, one of the largest concerns
OF its kind in the country, will today
advance granulated sugar five points,
bringing 1T UP to that now quoted by
the American Sugar Refining company.
or, in other words, the Havemeyer in
terests.
An effort was made to secure posi-
tive statements, either in affirmation
or denial, from those who are natur-
ally supposed to be in a position to
know what is going on, but all re-
FUSED to discuss the subject.

BRAVE MIR. CROKER.
A Story Of Three Bears, a Stage
and q Schoolma'am.
When They Met Unexpectedly the Lit
tie Teacher Enjoyed 1t, But the
Lion-Hearted Driver Rushed
Out OF Sight.

A Maine correspondent OF the New
York Sun says that John Croker, who
drives the stage on the back road be-
tween Brewer and Bucksport; a timid
schoolma'am who was going to teach
IN East Bucksport, a foolish horse
with no knowledge of zoology and
three frightened bears met in the
road leading through. some birch
woods on the border of'Long Pond a
few days ago, and in ten minutes had
manufactured material enough for
the construction of half a dozen COM
edies. The bears were the only ones
that had cause to complain of i'll
usage. The evening before they had
called at the orchard Of Harold Bur
riu for the purpose of taking a late
supper, and Burrill, hearing them
crashing about among the trees and
installing them for boys who had
been Fostering him for weeks, fred
his double-barreled shotgun, loaded
with rock salt, among them at short
range. causing a great scampering
and much smarting from the wounds.
Burrill went home expecting to be
arrested for murder, while the bears
made dash for Long Pond, where
they could swim about and let the
salt dissolve and ease their pain.
They had crossed the pond and were
leaving Hancock county behind them,
intending to cross the river to Hamp-
den, where the people are afraid OF
bears, when they met the stage in the
woods. Croker had been telling the
teacher about bears, and, remarking
that he should like to see one of
them, SO he could show her how easy
1t was to fix them in a way that
would forever prevent y them from
soaring anybody.
Wouldn't il be delightful to meet
bear right here In these bright
woods?" she exclaimed. Then 1
could tell my friends about the ad-
venture, and have really truly bear
story with myself as the heroine to
relate to the dear children"
Pears amt nothin'l" exclaimed
Croker, hourishing his whip. "why,
could drive hull flock of them with
this little stick"
About this time the horse pushed lis

SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1907
DIR. BARRINGER AGAINST Us.

THR Southern Educational AssociA.
ton was ir session at the Jefferson
Botel in this city last week. There
we're only two colored delegates pres-
ent, Prof. FRANK rRIeG and Miss MAT
rHKws, bath Of Lynchburg, Va.
After discussing every phase Of the
educational que stion, even the Indian
was forgotten and the Negro brought
to the front.
It was particularly unfortunate
that while everyone was allowed to
speak for the citizen of color, he was
NOT accorded the opportunity to speak
for himself.
But the good old hymn,
''God moves in q mysterious way
His wonders to perform"
is especially appropriate in this case.
We are not prepared to discuss the
origin of DIR. PAUL b. BARRINeER, the
Charlottesville monstrosiiy who is
now Installed in q professors chair at
the University OF Virginia aud who has
buried himself within his she'll of race
prejudice, refusing to even poke his
head thereirom save to voice condem
nation OF people whose record is as
toni shing and whose progress is a mar
vel.
Suffice it to say that he was met BY
Dr. ii. B. FhIssELL, that QuieS, unas.
Stunning yet diplomatic principal OF
Hampton, Va, Normal and Agricul
furAl Institute, who took issue with
him and turned upon hun q stream of
facts which disconnected him to such
an extent that he asked for the privii-
eye of making reply, which instead
OF strengthening his argument, tended
only to emEarrass and belittle his
Judgment.
In q moment OF desperation he re-
marked: IF you think am preju-
diced, 60 to Charlottesville aud ask
che Negroes there what they think
of me-"
We have done that very thing, DR..
BARRrNGER, and they are we'll. nigh
unanimously OF the opinion, that YOU
are monumental prejudiced hypo-
critic, liking notoriety and believing
that the abuse and Misrepresentation
of the Negro is the best way to crafty
your ambition in this direction.
Bnt, with the conservative, q plain
proposition Is more convincing and we
here agree to make it. We will make
. canvass Of tie colored people of
Charlottesville, Va, DR.. BARRINaER,
upon the question as to what they
think OF you. and IL they agree with
YOUR ideas, the PLANET will defraY the
expense of the canvass, and IL they
disagree with you, you are to defrsy
the expense.
The canvassing is to be done by one
white and one colored person passing
from house to house together and the
result is to be announced within the
next 80 days. Will yod accept the
challenge, DR.. BARRINeRR?
But there was another advocate of
Justice, lover Of Virginia, who saw
in the educational and moral advance
znent of the Negro much benefit to the
commonwealth.
This was President JULIUS DRcHER Of
Roa noke College, Virginia. His words
