UNCLE NOSES RUSE.
PLAYED BEAR IN ORDER TO
CATCH SLY OLD BRUIN.
Vermont Farmer Dressed Up in Fur
Proved a Fine Decoy - Fellow
Citizens Talk Of Sending
Him to Legislature.

Uncle Nose Whites belled bear,
which |ever since it returned to civil
cation after it's winter snooze in the
mountains has been fostering inhabi-
: tants roundabout Sherburne, VT, has
been caught. .-
The New York World says the bear
was belled by Uncle Nose last summer
70 drive off other bears infesting the
locality, and the whole township was
proud of Uncle Nose as. originator of
the scheme until bruin got to stealing
lambs and otherwise making himself
obnoxious. The animal finally got to
be such nuisance that every one was
mighty glad when he ho1ed up for the
winter. Folks never expected to lay
eyes on him again but with the first
resorted to his old tactics.
The Uncle Nose wrote a letter to
Hiram Marsh, a Shrewsbury hunter,
and in due time received a big pack
age. Even village gossips failed to
learn its contents and when the farmer
took it home no one knew what 1t con-
tanned. Probably all the details OF
what followed never would have been
believed had not Sim Whitaker hap
pensd to need a new augur to tap
sugar trees. The one he sent to Rut-
land for didn't suit and so he went
over to Noses house one evening to
borrow one.
AS he neared the barn cross-lots he
heard a noise and saw a shaggy ami
NAL rubbing his back against an apple
tree. 1t was pretty dark. but he had
no difficulty in making out the form
of big bear and he moved up an elm
with such agility that he lost his hat.
He had scarcely straddled limb
when he heard hollow tinkle and

POPE DIoNlFlED; NOT PROUD
Plus K. Has Not the Magnetism" of
the Popular Preacher" But
He Is Magnetic.

; Piux x. is of good height, strongly
made, even stout, and has fine grace
of carriage, says Booth Harrington, in
Harper's Magazine: his dignity is as
great as his position, but utterly with
out haughtiness or pomposity or pride
of Office. He has none Of the magnet
ism" of the popular preacher" actor
or orator; nevertheless, he is remarka-
bly, magnetic; 1t is the magnetism Of
unmistakabIe goodness and good will
to all the world. Every one was laugh
Ing with excitement and the sheer
pleasure of seeing him, and because he
smiled a. little. His voice, mellow,
clear and resonant, yet gentle, has in
it the quality of lofty and practical
goodness that is in his face. 1t is q
strong voice, too, with the strength of
the man who could give an incorrigible
lout fine beating for the good of his
soul, and 1t is what might be called a
brave" voice. A man with that kind
OF voice will not be afraid Of anything
that might happen to himself only. But
more than these things, 1t carries to
one who shears it the benediction that
exhales from the spirit of Plus X. to all
the world all the time.

belled bear rubbing up against another
tree dozen rods off,
The belled bear uttered low whine
and the other responded with a gut
kural grunt and moved ever to Sims
tree. This finished Sim and he couldn't
have uttered sound if his life had de-
pended upon it. At the trunk the bear
stopped, looked up. clawed at the bark
and sat down. AT this the belled bear
tossed his nose in the air. shifted sus-
picfously and rolled on the grass.
Finally he moved slowly toward the
barn, now and then looking over his
shoulder and grunting. Evidently the
belled bear must do the trailing lie
there were to be any further conf
dsnces. Following the waddling bear
with his eyes Sim was surprised to see
the dim outlines of gun leaning
against the corner of the barn. If he
could only lay hands on that, he
thought, he could make short work Of
one Of the animals at least. The idea
excited him. and he moved. The wad-
ding bear heard the noise. stopped
short and growled. 1t was low growl,
but 1t froze Sim into silence, and with
bullying eyes he watched what followed.
The belled bear had advanced few
steps when the other reached the cor
ner of the barn, knocked down the
1 rifle with his paw, and picked it I'D in
his forearms. The next instant he lay
down on the weapon lovingly, wiggled
the stump Of his tail and stretched out
on the grass There was something
unnatural and uncanny in the way he
| pushed the muzzle of the gun around,
and when Sim heard the unmistakable
sound of a clicking lock, his heart
stood still.
Suddenly there was flash, a loud
report followed by a howl Of rage and
| pain from the belled bear and Sim
toppled out of the tree and struck the
ground with dull thud. The next
moment he was in the arms of the
shooting bruin and a voice. issuing
from within the shaggy head, was'yeil.
Ing to him to keep quiet
/ "Consarn ye,'' shouted the voice,
keep quiet, will 7-a? I hain't killed
him yet"
Then the paws again picked up the
gun and sent bullet through the
Delleo bears head.
At this Sim went straight into hys-
terics and Uncle Nose had to get out
Of his bear skin and show himself in
his proper person before he could bring
his neighbor back to his senses.
Sim giggled and cried by turns, but
finally struck a mental balance and
then Uncle Nose explained that he had
| dressed uD In the skin of an old she
bear, borrowed from his friend Marsh.
After all he was glad Sim had ap-
peared, as he could prove the truth of
the story. Nose is the most talked of
man I'm the Village to-day and they are
thinking of sending him to tho legis-
lRt1re in thu fall.
