TURKEY, PHEASANT AND BEAR.
Queer Combination in the Woods of
Pennsylvania.

Hunters who have passed considerable
time in the mountains in the vicinity of
Salladsburg, Pa. tell of a black bear
that has been living in that neighborhood
for months, wild turkey and a pleas
ant-that they have been travelling to-
gether all season.
Within n month this bear, pheasant
and turkey have been seen no less than
ntteen times, but not once was the gun
ner within shooting distance. One
sportsman in discussing the matter said
that while he was hunting on the noun
tain side he saw a bear in the distance.
1t was too far away to permit shot,
and as he gradually worked his way
toward bruin he saw a good-sized tur-
Key drinking from a small stream, and
near the turkey stood pheasant. The
gunner had visions Of all kinds of game
and for a moment he stood and tried
to think out some plan whereby he could
at least get more than one out of the
three. While he was doing the figuring
the turkey and pheasant flew toward the
bear.
Imagine my surprise" he continued.

alight on the back of the big bear II

of such a thing in all my life. but there
It was right before my eyes. And to
think that l could not get one shot at

short time with the burden on his back

it. Later Bruin started away on n tro.,

he was still accompanied by the two

Why Dewey Cut the Cable.

An instance of the peculiar machinery
of the navy department came 10 the sur
face recently when Admiral Dewey ca
bIed Secretary Moody of the plans Of the
maneuver fleet for the Christmas Holt
days. The dispatch was turned over to
the bureau of navigation. and when in
Quiry was made there, this was the re-
ply:
LIEUT.. Belknap has not yet approved
of it, and any statement based upon it
in It's present condition might be mislead-
ins.'
The inquirer protested. "But does an
order of the admiral commanding the
navy have to be approved 10y Il lieutcn.
ant of the service?"
The reply was: well. we have known
an ensign to thwart the plans OF a rear
admiral, and this order will have to be
approved in regular form before it is rec
ognized by the department"
This may throw light upon Dewey
cutting of the cables at Manila.

The Hesper Clubs goose-eating contest
at the Silver Dollar Hotel in Essex street
was instrumental in healing up the DIFF
ferences between Martin EngeI and the
Sullivans. Engel gave the dinner, and he
laughed loud and long when the Sullivan
family, including the Big" and the Lit
tie" Tins, came to the goose eating.
A prize of $50 was offered to the best
goose eater, and the only contestants
were big Jack Martin of the Bowery and
Joe Levy, the Duke of Essex street.
Martin weighs 800 pounds and Levy $50.
Platters with six pounds of goose meat
on each of them were set in front of
the contestants. Big Tim Sullivan bet
500 TO $50 on Martin.
\ pistol shot was fired and the con
teStants started. Engel and Big Tim
held stop watches. When two minutes
had elapsed Martin gave a gasp. turned
blue in the face and fell on the floor.
Levy kept on eating and while two doc
tors were struggling over Martin, Levy
ate UP the portion III front of him.
The doctors discovered that haTpin
had lodged in Martins throat.
Phil Wissig showed up later and shook
hands with Engel. whom until the goose
feed he declared to be his arch enemy.

Until recently the barber who opened
shop in one of the big Office buildings
was reasonably certain of most of the
tenants in the building as customers
But that is all changed now. Only a
small percentage of the tenants patron
ize the building barber shop. and the
number seems to be growing less. A
thoughtful barber accounts for this con-
dition by saying that the heads of firms
do not like to come in because they ar.
averse to meeting their clerks, and the
clerks go somewhere else, so the bosses
will not know they are getting shaved
in the time belonging TO the firm. Talk
ing about barber shops. one marvels n
the rents they are able to pay. There
is TO be shop in the basement of the
new knickerbocker hotel and the yearly
rental is to be $650O The one in the
Waldorf brought 5000 a year before
the Astoria was built, and no doubt
brings much more now. The shop in the
new Aston hotel will be let ut big fly
ure. and there are many bidders, Along
Broadway all the shops have been forced

table. and this so tempered the light
that all glare was prevented. Yet the

the room from being dark without max
