| Judge Warden is getting to be the
greatest bear slayer in the country.
/ The reputation of the Judge as a
bear hunter was given boost again
! last Sunday--no, it must have been
Monday, because the Judge spends
all his time in church on the Lord Is
day. Well, the story goes that, he
and Dick Mcleod were out hunting
for bear on a certain day, and when
the Judge finally came upon Dick the
latter was pounding bear over the
back with a shot, gun Ateany rate
the shot gun stock was broken in
two, and Dick stood pointing the
barrel at the bear. The Judge man
aged to get couple of shots at the
big black fellow. and is sure that he
wounded the animal, although when
the two hunters came home the bear
was still running, and there were
several pieces of Dicks shot gun
that had not been recovered. Judge
Warden marked the place and is de-
termined to get the game before any
other hunters get ahead of him.
! Some Of the friends Of Charlie
Simpson insisted on running him in
the caucus last Thursday night.
Charlie was not very much interest
4 ed in the matter, however, and for
got to even cast his own vote. Not
! withs landing that he was not can
didate, and his.name had only been
mentioned a day or so before, he got
a handsome vote at the caucus.
Had it been generally understood
that Mr.. Simpson was in the field,
and had he himself, discour-
aged any effort on the part of his
friends, the results might have been
materially different But Charlie
was not inclined to take kindly to a
political contest at this time. He is
too busy logging.
! This is the glorious week of good
j fellows. You never find more
people who are strictly for you than
in the week that precedes an cleo
ton. The pleasant smile of the cam
didate beams upon you from every
street corner, and the man who had
no idea of his popularity is suddenly
reminded as he walks back and forth
chatting with the politicians who
bail him that he is about the best
"what is. But it will all be differ
ent next week when it is all over
aud then all will be most ordinary
citizens.
| Joe Babb and wife have returned
from their visit to Valparaiso, and
the paper states that they had a
lovely time-we have been reading
about it in the Atlantic Ocean. Joe
was to have taken a tour out west,
but after being away about a week
wrote home to 'spa" for little finan-
cial assistance-he must have got
ten it, or otherwise walking was
i good. We extend our congratula~
tions to the happy young couple, and
may they enjoy life with all of its
greatest pleasures. They started
out little raw, but the future is
long and if they make the best of it
there is no reason why they cannot
succeed.

Charlie Simpson and a friend came
into the car and took seats across
