According 10 the Susquehanna (Pa.)
correspondent of the New York World,
Fritz Stein is a apeddler known by every
one on the road between his home at
Hackensack and Scranton. lie carries
in his red wagon box everything from
a darning-needle TO stove. Frltz was
driving his sleigh along the road down
Pocono mountain near Manunka Chunk
recently at twilight, singing because
of the good sales of the day, when, with
a savage spring, his horse jumped into
the air and lurched forward.
Fritz's hair stood on end, for right
ahead, in a bend in the road, was a
huge black bear. The brute shambled
forward and struck at the horse, which
gave a sudden spring, twisted off the
thills, and went down the mountain at
a furious pace. The sleigh was left
standing upon knoll.
Fritz screamed in terror. He was un-
armed, and he saw certain death ahead.
He leaped from the sleigh, tumbled
into the box in which he stored his
stock, and fastened both doors. The en-
ragged bear attacked the sheep hides on
top of the sleigh and tore them into
shredS. Then he tried 10 tear off the
top of the box to reach Fritz. who was
holding the doors closed and expecting
every moment that the top would
break.
Then the unexpected happened. The
sleigh was standing in the deep. smooth
tracks made by the heavy sleds of the
lumbermen. and the terrific eXertions
of the bear, with his added weight, sud-
denly started the outfit down the in
cline. shooting ahead with frightful
velocity.

upon their hind legs. They were but
30 feet away. Cooper quietly jumped
TO the ground and tied his horse tc
a nearby tree. Then he was ready
for the fray. He had but eight
shells. The next moment the she
bear caught sight of the intruder
and made a run for him. Sure of
aim Cooper sent a bullet into her
head, then two more bullets followed,
lodging also in the head of the beast,
and she was dead. The cubs wanted

but the other yet remained. This
latter cub was on the run.
Cooper was not to be deprived of
the prize. although without ammuni-
tion. 1t was a hand-to-hand fight.
The rifle was broken on the cubs
head without serious effect on the
animal. Cooper quickly brought his
knife into use and slashed the cubs
throat. The fight lasted but a few
minutes and there were no witnesses
10 the singie-handed combat.
During the past week the survey

cubs was delicious, according TO
Stoner. \ large quantity of bears

Black Diamond express.
Near the foot of the mountain is a
sEAp bend in the road. There the
sleish left the track, shot directly
across the road, and colided with a
huge pile of railroad ties.
Some hours later a sleighing party
on its way home from country dance
encountered the wreck. The bear was
damned in between hes.eigh and the
timber, fearfully mangled and quite
dead. Fritz was fished out of a huge
pile Of snow and woOlen goods, stunned

Tears Used as Medicine.

Human tears are not recognized as
a specific against disease in any other
country but Persia, and there, only
those tears which have been shed
at a funeral are supposed to have eura-
tive qualities. In the country named
the custom of bOttling tears is an i'm
portant feature of funeral ceremony.
To each of the mOurners present the
master of ceremonies presents piece
of cotton, wool or sponge, with which
10 wipe away the tears. The contents
of the wool or sponge are afterward
squeezed into bottle, and these tears
are preserved as a powerful and GER
tain restorative when all other medi-
cines have proved useless.

is the owner of several farms. Before
the ceremony an agreement was
signed to the effect that each should
