MOUNTAIN FROM SECRETARY


called The Simple Life written by an
Alsatian. Charles Wagner, and he preached
such wholesome, sound doctrine that wish
II could be used a tract throughout our
country. To him the whole problem of our
complex, somewhat feverish, modern life
can be solved only by getting men and
women to lead better lives. He Sees that
the permanence of liberty and democracy
depends upon majority of the people being
steadfast in that good plain morality which,
as a national attribute, comes only as the
result of the slow and painful labor of cen
turtles and which can be squandered in
generation by the thoughtless and vicious.
He breaches the doctrine of the superior
ity of the moral to the material He does
not undervalue the material. but he insists,
as we of this nation should always insist,
upon the infinite superiority of the moral
and the sordid destruction which comes
upon either the nation or the individual II
it or he becomes absorbed only in the de-
sire to get wealth.
THE true line of cleavage lies between
the good citizen and the bad citizen and the
line of cleavage may and often does run
at right angles to that which divides the
rich and the poor. The signs of virtue lie
in mans capacity to care for what is out
side himself. The man who gives himself
up to the service of his appetites, the man
who the more goods he has the more he
ton. 1t makes little difference with him
whether he achieves his purpose or not.
If his point of view is all wrong, he is
bad citizen, whether he be rich or poor. 1t
Is small matter to the community whether
In arrogance and insolence he has misused
great wealth or whether, though poor, he
is possessed by the mean and fierce desire
to seize a morsel the biggest possible, of
that prey which the fortunate Of earth con-
sumo.

WRESTLED WITH BEAR.
Paw Encounter in the Penn
syIVania Mountains.

The Pittsburg Post has added an
other to the many thrilling bear sto-
ries that have comet rom the NiUtany
valley. This time the hero of a battle
with bruin is Ad Y0cum, and his re-
cent adventure viii constitute a lead
ing tale to be told about hunting party
camp fires in the future.
One Thursday morning Yocum, with
dog and gun, struck for the mountains
and wandered from crest to crest un-
Ill he was well into Sugar valley with
out finding any game. Ad had about
given up hope of getting shot that
lay, or finding any game, when, quite
suddenly, he came on large bear
snugly enscOnced in its den. Yocum's
weapon was only a dOublebaTrelled
shotgun, but be concluded to try a
shot, and, taking careful aim, he fired
at bruin. The load took effect, but
only to the extent of waking up the
bear and putting it in a fighting,mOod.
1t had not seen Yocum until he fired,
but when il sDied him it went for him,
and soon got into such close quarters
with its would-be slayer that he was
unable to discharge the other barrel
Of his gun.
Using his weapon for a club Yocum
resurted to the only chance he had
left, and a hand-to-paw encounter oc-
Cured. At the first blow Yocum dealt,
the butt of his gun gave way, and the
hunter found himself with only the
barrel to use on the bear The situa-
tion was now decidedly desperate. Ev-
cry second the bear became more furi-
Gus and Yocum weaker. Finally the
hunter rallied, got into a good position.
and. eXerting every energy, brought
the barrel of his gun down on the
bears skull with such force that he
killed the brute, it rolling over dead.
Soon after the battle lumber team
passed along, and il was secured to
haul the carcass to the iubilant hunt
er'S home. The bear was thin and
weighed only a little over 100 pounds,
but it had a fine pelt, and Y0cum says
that the fight it put up was even finer.

This Issue and Direct Leg
IS. islation Against the
Trusts.

Washington, Nov. 29.--The confer
ences at the white house this week
have demonstrated that the leaders
of congress are determined to keep
tariff revision in the background and
bring the trust question to the front.
In other words, they will oppose
tampering with the Dingley act on
the floor or by commission, but will
make an earnest effort to amplify the
Sherman antitrust law. 1t may be
said that this program virtually has
been agreed upon, and any attempt
to upset it will probably fail Many
of the most influential men in the
senate and house have expressed
themselves in favor of 1t, and the
president seems to have acquiesced in
It.
Since Monday dozen Of the most
influential members of the senate and
house have conferred with the presi-
dent, among them Senators Allison,
Spooner, Lodge, Foraker, Burrows,
Cullom, and Fairbanks, and Repre-
sentatives Henderson, Cannon, and
others. All of them advise against any
revision Of the tariff or any other ac-
ton contemplating such thing in the
near future. On the other hand they
favored some new antitrust legisla-
tion. The program, therefore, may
be stated briefly to be, go after the
trusts, but let the tariff alone"
