BRUIN FOND or PARTRIDGES.
Hunters Tell Of the Luck OF Bears in Search
OF Tidbits.

LAcHINE, Canada, Sept. 10.-Joe Beau
douin was sitting beside the water. not very
far from his FIRE. preparing dinner The
breasts Of four plump pnrtridges lay in
frying pan upon the log behind him The
guide was skinning the onions which were
to furnish the favoring to the stew he had
In anticipation.
Possibly the pungency of the onions dis
tracted his attention and accounted for his
failure to notice the approach of a maraud-
ing enemy. But the fact WAS that when
he had washed the onions in the lake, and
turned about to take up his meat, there
upon the log was his pan still, but. alas!
his pan only. Where the tempting little
partridge breasts had gone was problem.
The solution was probably to be found in
the direction whence proceeded q sound OF
breaking boughs And thither fastened
Joe. his woodland instincts leading him to
take his axe along with him.
A few steps brought into his range of
vision rascally young bear, n fine enough
animal in its way, which was, with manifest
delight, crunching the bones OF his choice
young birds as it lounged along. The bear
quickly paid the penalty Of it's impudence
When the other hunters returned they
found Joe complacently frying very saw
DRY dish Of bears liver and smoked bacon
with his onions.
The guide WAS reminiscent over the
after dinner pipe that night. Three years
before he had been stil-hunting for par
tridges, an accident with n bear trap having
deprived him of the services OF HIS trained
spaniel.
As he was creeping along In a promising
place he heard the unmist ak able fight OF
cartridges into tree. Dashing up to the
spot he dropped two fine specimens from
the branches with his double barrelled
gun.
Then to his surprise there caIitered away
from the foot of the tree big black bear
! which had been acting settlers part for
him and the birds. Following the oblgina
beast his attention was attracted by the
cbattering Of an old cock partridge, which,
perched IN All old club, was scolding away
as though quite put out by the tactics Of
[ the same bear.
Again Joe fired and killed his bird. and
| again he noticed that the report acceler.
ated the flight OF the bear which he did
not care 10 pursue further since he suddenly
recollected that his cartridge all contsined
No. shot only, and as he naively said:
Il seed him was going right straight
for where my bear trap was set anyway,
| and tree cartridges was plenty fol one

II is doubtful II there is another case

| ing purposes In the place Of cocker

A day or two later the party had further

THE RUFFED GROUSE'S PERCH.
A Trick OF the Guides That Sometimes
Puzzles the Amateur.

Amateurs who go into the woods after
ruffed grouse know that the birds light
generally in trees after they are flushed,
but they are puzzled to discover which tree.
They take line on the grouse's fight and
follow it for 200 or even 400 yards, staring
up into the naples, birches, spruces and
hemlocks. but they do not find the bird
and they wonder how it is that guides are
able to find them and tumble them from
their perches all al matter OF course.
The guides work in this way: They know
that the ruffed grouse never goes so far az
II seems TO have gone; unless shot at It
will perch generally within hundred yards
OF where it has flushed
ftgets we'll up from the ground and unless
there is imperative reason to the contrary
1t selects perch close against the trunk
of tree. Possibly II does this because
II Is aware that the hue Of It's coat matches
well with the hue OF the tree trunk.
Before it lights the ruffed grouse will
swing TO the left. There is positively no
exception to this rule II after swinging
to the left it does not find a tree to suit 1t
or any tree at all, it will go on until 1t finds
one, but the leftwart swing will be con-
tinued.
So the guide who has an amateur with him
finds flushed grouse time and again. vhile

lows the birds line Of fight. knowing that
it has not gone more than a hundred yards
and probably not more than fifty. He
looks at the trees close to their trunks in

A MAINE FISH STORY
or Trout That Persisted in Being Hooked
-Four Times In Succession.

K1NEo. Me-. Sept. 19.-Every fisherman
who visits Maine hears the story OF the
famous tame trout Ed Grant Of Beaver
Pond once owned-the fish that finally fell
into the water and was drowned. This
season a rival to Grants trout has been
found and its discoveries solemnly declare
that there is not the same element. of myth
oiogy in its hist tory.
This fshwas taken by Robert Sturdevant
of Wlkes-Bnrre, Pa, and s. E. lines of the
same place vouches for the story which
follows
While fishing of the log boom in Long
Pond, Mr.. Sturdevant caught trout and :,
not wishing to kill it, returned it to the
water. The trout, however, did not 20
down, but after remaining on the surface
for time turned and again took the fly
A companion Of Mr. Sturdevant's took
the persistent fish of this time and tucked
it down into the water which lay bet ween
the logs. But the fish managed to wriggle
out into the open and third time made for
the fly, third time was hooked and third
time was thrown back.
This time the Ash appeared bit confused
and swan In circles for a while. but finally
got its bearings, came for the fly, was hooked
and again thrown out into the lake several
feet Not unnaturally 1t died after this
fourth attempt.

ADIRONDACK HUNTING.
Deer Harder to XIII just Now in the North
Woods Than They Were Formerly.

Woods Than They Were Formerly.
FULTON CHAIN, N. Y. Sept. le.-For
about three weeks now the open season
for deer has been in progress, but still only
comparatively small number have been
taken. The reason is not hard to find.
All over this part OF the Adirondacks
for two or three seasons past the saw and
the axe have been doing their work and
much Of the large timber has disappeared.
In its place has come thick underground
which affords better protection for deer,
and in fact for all wild animals, than the
heavy timber.
This seems to mean that the late season
will be the best for hunting deer. for with
the tangles OF young branches that are
found in very large areas in this locality
it il next to impossible to get fair shot at
a deer. The best hunters in this part OF
the State have in most cases deferred their
sport until later, when the frost will have
taken OF the leaves and there will be bit
Of snow on the ground.
OF course by going back more deeply
into the woods beyond Seventh Lake and
to the east OF Twitchel Lake deer are to be
found in the primitive forest in goodly
numbers, but ii is not the easiest thing in
the world. once they are killed, to get the
bodies into camp.
This is ething which the hunter
thinks little about, at least until he has killed
a deer FIVE or six miles from his camp or
lodge. Then it will dawn upon him that
hunting deer in the wilderness is not all
that it is cracked up to be.
In this region it is becoming more and
more difficult for persons to take deer
illegally. The guides are all members of
one or more associations for the protection
of game, and az it is almost impossible for
the average hunter to get into the woods
and get deer without the help Of guide,
it can readily be understood what difficulties
confront those who would like to pot-hunt
or hound dear.

of the dominant whites. The
White Man is dominant in this
State as well as in the entire
South, and the "White Mans
Party is no catch-phrase raised
for political purposes, but a cry
born of necessity. the cry of a
people on the defensive, the cry
of a people who realize that the
political advancement of the
Black Man jeopardizes the life
and sacred honor of their
women. The crimes of wanton
and libertine negroes are be-
coming more and more fire.
quent, and have reached such
proportions as no longer to be
regarded as a menace, but as
an actuality, an ever present
danger, both to the peace and
security of our homes and the
honor of our women. These
crimes, which too often incite
to acts of lawlessness and mob
violence, at one time were per-
petrated wholly in the South,
but the day has passed when
the geographical limit can be
fixed. Wherever he has been
admitted. whether in the South,
North, East, or West,-like a
serpent that has been warmed
in the bosom-the negro has
fastened his fangs in his bene-
factor, and sought to inoculate
him with his own deadly poi
son, and basely requited kind
ness with forcible qualification
of lust. He places no restraint
upon his passions, and knows
no limit to the qualification of
his lust and his illicit desires.
Although the temperament of
the Northerner may be more
sluggish, less fiery and less
passionate than that of his
Southern brother, human ma
ture is the same the world over:
and only, too recently, have we
seen it eXemplified in New
York state, what an outraged
community will attempt to do
when the crime is committed in
its own midst. In the light of
present conditions, in view of
these almost daily occurrences,
is it to be marveled at that
thoughtful men are unwilling
to permit any furthur disturb
ing elements to enter into our
life? Is it to be wondered at
that the presence of the distort-
ed show of "Uncle Toms
Cabin" which is So arranged
that, in almost every scene, the
white man is placed at dis
advantage. and the negro given
an opportunity to gloat at the
situation, was not desired in
our county? The white people
are in no mood to tolerate tri-
fling, and we hope IA lesson may
be learned without an object
being made to emphasize it.

COUNTY LEVY STRUCK.

The county levy for 1908 was
struck by the Commissioners of
Worcester County last Tues
day. Owing principally to the
great expense incurred because
of the smallpox epidemic in
Berlin, Snow Hill, Stockton,
and elsewhere in the county
last winter, it was necessary to
increase the rate 10 cents over
last year. Another large item
entering into this increase was
the new road system that has
been adopted and by she opera
tion of which the Commission
ers intend to have good roads
in this county. Tie levy is
$1.10 on the $4,000.
