HEN SAW PINK BEAR.
Wife Thought for a Time That Hus-
 band Was Crazy.
Subsequent Events Proved, However, That thc old Man Knew What He Was Talking Abouf--A Conn.,
 pIcte ViMdicatiOn.

From Bridgewater, Vt, the cheerful news comes to the New York World that the mystery of Hen Whites pink bear has been cleared, and Hen has been re- stored to his old place among the sane minded and truthful citizens of the Cor ners. There was time few weeks ago when he was looked at askance and classed with Nose Perkins, who, while having, declared he had run across a nest of purple snakes, with eyes in their tails.
 The pink bear zirst put in an appear ance at the Bige1ow abandoned farm, whither Hen had gone alone to gather butternuts. It was Investigating an old bee tree when the farmer first laid eyes on it and then was'so spellbound at the sight that he swallowed 8 lump of spruce gum he was chewing. The bear had his head in the bee hole and hadn't seen Hen.
 When Hen arrived he was so out of breath that it was a considerable time before he could explain matters to his wife. Mrs. White is practical woman and she advised her spouse to put his rSSL III uOb WdISI, tdhS d PiAI VI S1eAAP tea and go to bed.
 When, after nights rest, Hen still declared he had seen pink bear, Mrs. White allowed there must be some thing in it. but strongly advised that the story be kept for home use. But Hen insisted on telling the .neighbors. They treated the man kindly but shook their heads and spoke to Mrs. White about the state insane asylum at Waterbury. Her husband might get dangerous at any time, they told her, and urged her to take time by the foreIock and send him away before he murdered the baby. The arguments were beginning to have

effect when the vindication of Hen came in most unexpected manner.
 John Bugbee, who lives back in the hills on a farm he bought in the spring. both vindicated Hen and killed the pink bear. The farm buildings needed much fixing up when Bugbee took the place, and the first thing he did was to lay in 8 supply of red paint. Tn fair weather he titled the soil, and when it rained he painted. The soil was pretty rocky and promised little the first year, so Bugbee bought dozen hives of bees. He figured that the hoRey with what crops he could raise would carry him over the first winter. and then the sail- ing would be before fair wind. The bees thrived and the farmer hived sev- eral swar1ns and then built bee house This he completed about week before Hen saw his bear.
 Ordinarily Bugbee wouldn't have painted the bee house, but inasmuch as he had some red paint he thought he would make good job of it. There wasn't enough of the red paint to do the work, and he added some white lead and spread a coat over the house. in- side and out, floor and ceiling. The next morning he awolze to find that bear had invaded the bee house and ripped open several hives. The newly painted floor showed many tracks, and the walls were scratched where Bruin had at- tempted to climb them. 1t then devel- oped that he had eaten so much honey that he had difficulty in making at, exit through the low narrow door through which he had entered, and that he had been forced to lay down and worm his way to freedom
 Bugbee would have taken the news to the village and Hen would have been cleared at once, but the farmer had too much to do to gather his slim crops and repair the bee house to indulge in an to get the bear, and sat up several hours every night awaiting his return. Final ly, early in the week. he was rewarded.
 The moon had just come up when Bugbee heard a movement back of the bee house and soon discerned an odd appearing animal sniff around the cor ner and look in the door. He was a dirty pink and the farmer knew the old marauder had come back for more honey. After a few more sniffs the bear crawled inside and Bugbee sneaked up and pounded on the side of the house with the stock of his rihe
 Instantly the bear stuck his head out of the door and, seeing the farmer, growled. The moon gave plenty oflight 10 shoot at ten paces. and Bugbee fired. catching the animal between the eyes and killing him instantly When he was drawn from the bee house Bruin was found to be a faded and soiled pink, the paint having dried on the hair and then become dirty through contact with the woods.
