BOUTS BEAR WITH A SONG.
The Preachers Marble Was Too Much
 for Bruin.
By Thomas Campbell

The Preachers Marble Was Too Much for Bruin. Catskill, N. Y., July 14.-One of the oldest inhabitants of this section had terrifying experience on the old Mountain House road Tuesday night The oldest inhabitant'' is a venerable and rusty black bear who has been lodging the bullets and kodaks of huntsmen and tourists for years and years.
 There was picnic Tuesday at South lake. and just at sundown the Rev Dr c. M. Rockwell, pastor of Catskilrs Baptist church, with his wife and load of Sunday school children, drove homeward over the old Mountain House road.
 There is little travel on this road. and the old black bear was dozing in the middle of the dusty highway.
 Suddenly the worthy pastors voice raised in religious song. smote bruins ear. It was a new and terrifying noise. The crack of the rifle and the bay of hounds were familiar notes of menace to bruin. but the strains of "Greenland's Icy Mountains" rumbling among the tree-tops threw him into panic.
 Just then the pastors faithful horse woke up and snorted a warning. Right ahead in the deepening gloom the startled pastor and his little charges saw an awful shape upright on a pair of huge hind legs. IL was bruin, ex- formally formidable, but quaking with in.
 There was a terrified squeal from the children and wild whirl of the pas tors whip. With roar of fright the old bear lowered his forepaws and gal loped into the underbrush with the speed of a Suburban winner.
 "Greenland's Icy Mountains" had wrecked his nerve. Students of bear ology think that the terrified animal will probably run himself to death.

The pain started in my head. and then went all over my body. settling in every joint and Tnlscle. I had to be taken 10 the N-Ray Doctors offices in a hack. but their treatments did me so much good was able 10 walk there the second visit. Within a week the rheumatic swelling all went down. and the pains left me. l feel that when regain my strength shall be well again. The Radio-Chemic Physi- cians have done wonders for me. Everyone is surprised to see how improved so rapidly under their care. l recommend the X-Rsy Doctors to all who suffer with rheumatism.

BLOCKED FOR HOURS.
Thousands of Commuters Held Up By
 Derailing of an Engine.

The locomotive of the Hudson River Special dragging six coaches. ran off the track in the Park avenue tunnel at One Hundred and Second street, New York. Wednesday afternoon at 4:l0, and for two hours blue ribbon trains. freight cars, dump engines and some ten thousand sweltering commit CTS had 10 wait until the wreckers put the big engine back on the rails.
 No one could tell how the engine jumped the track. It was proceeding slowly. making a thirteen-minute run to One Hundred and Twenty-ffth street on its start up the river. The engine was stopped before it had bump ed more than two car lengths on the ties, and when the passengers heard what had happened they settled down to a long. disagreeable wait in the humid air of the tunnel
 Superintendent Boucher and wreck: Ing crew came with jacks and shoes and a drill engine. Signals were set at both ends of the tunnel. ana for the two hours all traffic on the north bound track was suspended. The stylish Lake Shore Limited puffed for thirty minutes waiting for the block ade to lift. The Western Express was delayed forty minutes, the Northern Express thirty minutes and the Mont real Express the same time.
 But by far the more serious ques- ton was how to handle the streams of commuters that poured into the Graud Central Station with every minute as the time approached the dinner hour. The waiting room and the train plat. form were packed with people.
 To relieve the congestion. south. bound trains were Jagged at Motr Ha- ven. and accommodation trains were hurried out on the southbound tracks to the Harlem River, where they were switched onto the northbound tracks. This put the Southwestern Limited, ill., coming. back thirteen minutes, but few other southbound trains were de- layed.

WHAT VARIETY OF CORN. 4 Question Which the Farmer Should Consider in All Its Aspects So as
 to Secure Best Results.

A judicious selection of seed for the planting of the corn crop will largely determine the size of the crop this fall. The longer we grow corn the more we are impressed with the fact that the seed is far more important factor than 1t has hitherto been con sidered. During this past season the farm boys of Illinois planted a great deal of corn sent out by various agen- cles to stimulate corn growing con- test among the boys In the northern part of the state much of this work was complete failure, due to the fact that the boys received seed that would not mature ill the time in which it must mature to make a crop in north ern Illinois. Men who looked into the matter say that the seed came from corn that had been grown so far south that it had acquired the habit of ripen- ing in a longer season than that com mon to northern Illinois.
 If this is true with the seed corn planted by the boys, it is altogether likely that much of the seed planted by farmers generally had the same fault. This would seem to point to the necessity for the farmer to know more about the origin of the corn he plants, says the Farmers Review. If he buys corn he should ascertain that it is raised on about the same latitude as that Tn which he lives or that 1t comes from some point north of that latitude. If it has been developed further north of course 1t is adapted to a short season, this being proved by the fact that it has matured in latitude having a short crop season.
 Above all things, the farmer should stop planting the nondescript corn that he has been planting for half a il1e-tlme. There is on thousands of our farms a tradition that corn does best always on the home farm. and that if 1t had been on the farm for half hundred years so much the bet ter. Corn bred on one farm may not indeed have suffered any because it mas been grown on the same farm for long periods of time; but if it is of the old variety that is small in pro- ducing ability 1t can never compare as profitable crop with the newer varieties.

VAUDEVILLE.

There ifaveebeen many female imper- senators who laid claim to pre-emin- ence as artists but none of them can for an instant be compared with Stuart who leads the bill at the Jac- ques this week. The one thing above all others that gives his performance the distinction it possesses is the re- gard for little things. so noticeable in his work. To the minutest detail the imitation is perfect and the way he manages to contract his big chest and strapping shoulders into the ladylike proportions they assume behind the footlights Is little short of marvellous. The assumption of the characteristics of dainty feminity is so capitally done that half the women in the city are already racking their brains for the solution. Nothing that has been said of Stiart's wardrobe has been exag- gerated. In fact it's gOrgeousness call- not be properly described in words. He makes three complete changes of costume. appearing as a gentlewOman po.lg cut to an evening function. as a Spanish dancer with gleaming cloak of gold Spangles, and as concert nail singer of the Parisian type. For each character he has an appropriate garb and flashes out on the stage literally ablaze with diamonds. Of his voice nothing need be said. Monday even- ing (his first performance on account of mistake in transferring his bag gage while coming to Waterbury hc suffered from severe cold. but yester- day afternoon it's pure beautiful so- prino captivated his audience.
