PRETTY BEAR STORY
Wounded Beast Is Adopted by .
Crowd of Children.
Unexpected Complications Caused hY
Bruins Change Of Autumn Ways
"A Hunt with Rather Re-
markable Ending. a

According to a New York Sun corre-
spondent residing at East Eddington,
Me-, old hunters, old women and vener-
able tradition, which is more aged than
either, assert that when the bears get
ready to go into winter quarters they
pass their last week of wakefulness UNI
der the oak trees, eating the fallen
acorns. These are full. of tannic acid,
which Fuckers up the internal organs
of the bears so that they shall not feel
the pangs of hunger during their pro-
tracted maps in hollow trees and under
windfalls. Having reduced their stom-
achs to less than half the normal size,
the bears swallow large quantities of
indigestible spruce gum to take up the
gastric juices, and then turn in for q
good long sleep.
This year the bears have introduced
new feature into the programme.
They took the acorns all right, but
when it came time to begin their sleep,
the apples were so ripe and juicy in the
orchards that appetite got the better of
habit, and for the past two weeks the
orchards have been suffering from
more dangerous foes than the small
boys. The bears have cheated the cider
mills OF half their output this fall.
In spite of every 'expedient that
could be adopted to scare thesanimals
away, they have broken down limbs Of
trees and wrought great damage, i'm
vading the villages where no bears had,
been seen for half a century, and keep
ing many women at home from harvest
suppers and sociables that only q
death in the family would otherwise
have hindered them from attending.
Partly to get bear meat for winter
consumption, but chiefly to save the
apples from destruction, the farmers
organized a hunt during the last warm
spell. Everybody who owned a gun
was invited. The men formed a line
more than half mile long and swept
the town from the Bradley line to Cliff
ton. A mile to the east of Sunk Haze
meadows they scared up two bears. one
of which was brought down before it
had gone mile. The other kept on
to the base of Black Cap mountain, 60
ing up on the north side and keeping
among the bushes until it stood out on
the bare top.
The men who were hemming the ami

NAL in on three sides began to fire when
they were half mile away. As the
shots began to hit the lodges near by
the animal showed signs of uneasiness,
facing it's pursuers and threatening to
charge. Then a shot would come Zip
ping against a rock, causing the bear
to turn and attempt to descend the
steep front of the cliff.
The teacher of the Clewleyville
school had taken her pupils out that
day for a picnic in the woods, mixing
pleasure with some lessons in nature
study. They had made beautiful
wreaths of autumn leaves which they
had bound about their heads and waists
and were sitting down for luncheon
when the bear, driven to take the risk
by the approach of the hunters. started
to pick its way down the Gi;i.,2 face of
Black Cap. The ledges were steep most
of the way, and in places they were very
slippery, SO that no animal except q
bird could gain so much as toe hold.
By the time the bear had gained the
shelf, where a ravens nest had been
built for many years, the hunters were
on top of the hill and pouring dam
'kerMs!ehp~eErdf shot upon. the ,ereA-.

Nature *ssepaHfe, SO the animal got
ratified ant tha,yfry time when it should
have skeptitA head and came tumbhng
down stbe last part of the cliff, landing
not two rods away from the party OF
school children. Several bones had been
broken in the fall, though the beast
was still able to put up a good fight.
AS soon as the usual amount of scream
ing had been done the young folks
gathered around the injured animal
and began to express their pity ii
words of endearment. Ts
When the farmers came around The
hill to kill the bear they were met "
children, who stood in front OF &he
rifles and protested against SUCH .
cruel act. The pleadings of the Yong
people prevailed, and the bear .was
patched up and taken to a w@fR barn,

4 or s,r LIFE.

A maiden sat within the door
And sang as many times before.
A man to daily toll passed by,
No love nor pleasure lit his eye.
But when he heard the merry seng
He whistled as he went along.
A woman by the window wept
For one who in the churchyard slept.
But when upon her hearing fell
That tune she knew and loved SO we'll,
The flocd of burning tears was staid,
And soon a song her lips essayed.
Her neighbor heard the tender strain
And softly joined the sweet refrain.
Thus I'll day long that one song bore
Its joyousness from door to door.

Thomas Hardy, the novelist, is thus
described by writer who has recently
met him: ellis cheeks are slightly
sunken and his skin is sallow. speaking
Of sedentary labors. the midnight lamp
and Of constitution that could not
support the sustained strain Of an ardu-

and possess, that phosphorescent light
that indicates energy. The solution Of
these contradictory remarks must be
that he is mentally as robust as he II

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls ard
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scots
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
