BEAR cHAsEs A RAILROAD MAN
Lineman Has Race With Mother
6ruln. Deprived Of Her Cubs

While the hustle and noise OF
thriving little city In ones ears .
bear story seems trifle incongruous
employe OF the Manistee a Luther
railroad, was compelled to Zee for his
life from an enraged she bear. and
that not very many miles from the
heart OF Manistee. The train crew
OF west-bound M. e. J.. train observed
two bear cubs near the railroad tracks,
about eighteen miles from Eastlake.
between the Filler pine and tho Jones
farm. Herman Shimke and Albin
Polaski. who were running the engine
stopped the train and with the as
sistance OF the train crew rounded up
the two cubs and put them on the
cars. The train then started for
Eastlake and arrived there In due
time. Considerably in the rear the
telegraph lineman for the M. & L.
was inspecting the wires and poles|
from the seat of n railroad velocipede.I
In due course he arrived at the spot
where the cubs had been captured.|
Mother Bear had returned MEANWHILE
and finding the cubs gone, was In mol
sweet temper. At sight OF the mani
her wrath blazed forth and, crashing
through the brush she started after
the swiftly moving velocipede. Ferguj
son quickly realized his danger and
put forth every ounce OF muscle In AMI
effort TO distance the bear. II Is by|
no means certain that he would have|
succeeded had not the bear occaslon-|
ally left the track TO look for the lost
cubs in the brush. With this advanI
tage he soon succeeded In leaving the
bear far behind. The cubs are now
enjoying the hospitality OF Aessrs|
Shimke and Polaski.

Little Change In White Goods.

In plain white goods there is little
change from last year, aside from the
fact that thin airy things will have
the place of honor. Plain and EN-
broidered linens from very sheer to
very coarse weaves will be used for
gowns and shirt.waist suits. There
are several varieties of cotton eta
mines and mercerlzed materials OF
many descriptions. Without hesita
ton one may buy dimitles. French
and Partisan lawns, wash chiffons
silk muslin and English nainsook;
while embroidered swisses in vart
ous-sized dots, in stripes or in floral
designs, are better style than for
many years past.

OF Mrs. Henry Berry at Mayville. She
went TO the kitchen. intending to re-
plenish the fire by putting kerosene
