Maryland Farmers Kept Busy Kill

Cumberland. Md.-A number of bears
have been killed in POcahontas county,
West Virginia, in the last few days.
One weighing 400 pounds, that had killed
II sheep on the N. J. Brown farm. was
shot by E. E. Nottingham, George Glai-
we'll and j. F. Evans. The bear had a
17-pound trap attached to it's foot, which
it broke from its mOorings. The bear
had record for killing scores of sheep.
Among the losers were Alexander Hef-
ner and James L. Sheets.

Stony Bottom by D. d. Hamrick. A
large bear was killed by man named
Delaney at Penick Meadows. This bear
also had trap attached to its foot. 1t
was shot by Delaney in laurel thicket.
The bear was apparently dead and the
hunter walked up to it. The bear rose
suddenly and came at Delaney, who took
the animal by the head and beat it with
the butt of his gun.
A little dog. seeing the unequal con-
test, saved his masters life by taking
hold of the bears hind leg. The bear
turned and the hunter was enabled to
shoot and kill the animal. There are
plenty more bears in the mountains,
but as rule bears are vegetarians, and
only a small percentage of them kill
sheep.

COONS BATTLE UNCLE SAM
Government Raises Game Fowls on
the Gulf Coast, But the An

New Orleans, LATHE federal gov
ernment and the state of Louisiana will
probably have to abandon their plan to
use Breton island. on the gulf coast OF
Louisiana, as game preserve for the
propagation of prairie hens and other
fowls, owing to the immense number of
raccoons that have preempted the claim.
Although the island is small one, it is
said by the game wardens that within
it's few square miles there must be be-
tween 5000 and 10000 coons of all kinds.
About Is. 900 prairie hens were Matched
this year, and as soon as they become
Of an eatable size they were devoured
by the coons The same has happened
to a number of other varieties of game
fowl which the government has endeav-
ored to propagate on tha island.
The Breton islands are some distance
from the mainland, and are difficult of
access. 1t was for this reason that they
were selected as a preserve. But the
coons were not counted upon. and they
have spoiled all the plans. A force of
trappers and hunters is to be sent to he
island after the coons, but so great is
their number that it is feared that they
cannot be exterminated.

QUEEN WEARS FEW JEWELS
Alexandra Of England Sets a New
Fashion Which Society Will
Follow.

London.-Queen Alexandra has Of late
begun to set fashion which is causing
CONSERVATION to millionaire women
and jewelers.. She wears few jewels,
and these of the simplest. 1t is said in
court circles that the queen is tired of
the ostentatious display Of gorgeous
Jewels, in which American women have
had so great a part. Recently at the
opera it has been noticeable that the
queen had only quiet pearl collar or a
small diamond ornament, while the
women in the surrounding boxes flashed
like miniature lighthouses.
The royal circle is gradually following
the queens example, so it is expected
that fashionable women will soon be dis
tinguishable by the absence of ostenta-
ton in jewels.
The king of Spain is not of Queen AL
exandra's way of thinking. He has an
intense love of gems, and was never done
exclaiming over the magnificence Of the
display of jewels at the gala perform
ance at the opera. AS he specially loves
sapphires, the queen asked Mrs. Mackay's S
jewe1er to show the young king Mrs.
Mackay's famous sapphire set, and he
was so delighted that he took a sketch
of the ornaments. intending to get them
duplicated for his future BRIDE

Gov. Hoch of Kansas Advocates Re
form in Human Signs Of
Sorrow.

Topeka, Kan.-Gov Hoch has sound
ed note of funeral reform in an ad-
dress before the annual convention of
Kansas undertakers. He said:
81 think that every man or woman
wishes in the future to appear at his
or her best, and one Of the Affections
of disease is the consciousness that one
must appear in public in a wasted and
emaciated condition. When the luster
is gone from the eye, when the beam
has departed from the face, when
appear in death, hope that will not
be exposed to view.
Il am simply asking that you lend
your influence to the discontinuance of
an old custom which / believe to be a
relic of ages. Then I have some other
ideas. Black Grape is not the proper
emblem or sign of death, and the wear
ing of large black veil is not the
proper sign of sorrow for one who
thinks that death is not the end of all
and that there is an Immortality be-
yond the grave.
death should not come to one with
the somber shades Of night. If we have
an emblem at all it should be white
the emblem of justice, Of hope, of light,
and of heaven, and not of darkness and
despair. While 1 believe that it would
be better for us to leave off the habit
of advertising our sorrow, if we must
have an emblem it should be white
symbolic of light and Of hope"

FINDS HEALTH IN TREE TOP
Artist steinberger Laughs at Dread
ed tuberculosis from His
Perch on High.

Urbana, O.-For the third consecu-
tive summer Orin Steinberger, aged
40 years, an artist, has resided in his
tree top home, six miles south of this
city, where he is now laughing at
consumption. He is entirely cured,
and says he never felt better in his
life. The present home Of Stein
berger is perched among the branches
of a gigantic white oak, about 60 feet
from the ground, on the farm owned
by his father.
For the past 12-years Steinberger
had suffered from consumption. He
went to Mexico and Arizona five years
ago, and remained there some time.
He failed to improve, however, and
decided to return home. 1t was then
that the wild, free life of the woods
appealed to him.
Steinberger was in the last stages
of consumption, and was told that his
death was only a question of a few
months. He was informed that or
dinary camp life would do him no
good. Nevertheless, he selected a
large tree in the forest and stated that
he intended to live among the
branches until he was taken away
dead Or cured.
Steinberger ascends the tree by
means of rope ladder. Around the
tree trunk where the first branches ap-
pear he constructed his home. The
platform is sufficiently large to accom-
modate 20 people. He fitted up sew
eral rooms in this queer home. One
is used as studio, and from it view
of the beautiful Mad river valley for
a distance of 20 miles can be had. An
other is used for dining-room, while

breath held in and eyes tightly closed,
drop the missiles into the water Their

with yarns of how, in such and such
