sharp pains, confined to the neighbor-

right into the bone. The pain suffered
was intense and also had dizzy spells.

while want.a ns- .pah..

When Willie slmminds. of McIndoes.
vt, was about eighteen, his folks
moved to Boston, leaving Willie in
McIndoes. After a while Willie de-
cided to join them, so started out alone
for the big city.
He had never been in the city be-
fore, and thought every one should
know every one else. as in the town
where he came from. Arriving in
Boston, he was rather surprised at the
greatness of everything and at the
number of people on the streets.
After looking around for awhile and
not seeing anyone that he knew, he
finally saw man in uniform whom
he thought must be very important
person, and would certainly know his
father. SO he walked up to the sur
prised officer and said: Say, mister.
have you seen anything of dad around

BEARS IN OLD ORCHARDS.
Being by Nature vcretarians. They Feed
Upon the Fruit.


Upon the Fruit.
Although Names apple crop last sea-
son was smaller than usual. II was Of
splendid quality. and prices are so high
That its value is up to the average of
Inc past ten years--say a million dol
lars.
Hunters and other strangers who
visit Maine in the autumn are shocked
py the apparent waste CT the orchard
lists. who permit thousands of barrels
OF fruit to remain on the trees every
year. the crop being sometimes so
great that nothing but the first and
second qualities are worth the housing
Most of the abandoned apples are in
orchards that were planted by the early
settlers a century ago and allowed TO
grow without grating.
The first thing thar the pioneer In
the Maine woods did after putting up
log camp was TO fell the native trees
and burn of enough ground to set out
an orchard. In many ole towns aged
aud huge trees stan.i along the stone
walls by tre roadside. forming long
avenues that lead to the farm build
ings.
In most cases the farms have been
run out by long cropping and aban-
doned. The buildings have rotted or
burned down. but the apple trees and
the lilac bushes and the clumps of
rhubarb and tansey still stand around
the weed grown cellars as monuments
OF race that has been dead for .ears.
While the premises held human in.
habitants Il fruit was gathered. and
such ms could not be died or made
into apple sauce was ground cut for
cider which for ne first six months
was employed as the universal New
England tlppie known ms hard cider.
after which the atmosphere converted
tee juice into excellent vinegar.
Since most of the orchards planted
in the last twenty-five years have been
of grated fruit Cf recognized merit.
the old orchards have been neglected.
As Il rule the abandoned farms have
been converted into pastures for cat
tie and sheep. and the windfall apples
are eaten by the live stock. Whatever
remains af.er the stock is takeL to the
barns lies out all winter as fruit for
cartridges. squirrels and arctic birds.
Few persons would imagine that
bears were by-prcduct of Malne's
abandoned crcnards. but such H. the
fact. A bear is worth from 81" to $50,
so that the matter is of Importance.
The wild bear is vegetarian, and
so long as lie can obtain berries and
other .ruit enough to sustain life, he
will not raid the sheep pasture or the
pig pen. Early in the spring, when
they emerge from winter quarters, the
bears feed Oh the pump berries of the
wintergreen or checkberry, following
the season along with strawberries
and raspberries until August, by which
time the early varieties of apples are
ready TO eat. Then up to the time cold
weather arrives and bears seek their
dens, they feed almost exclusively up
on apples which grow on the gnaficd
trees at the edges of clearings.-Sun.

SAVED BABY LYONS LIFE.
Awful sight From That Dreadful Com

Praises Cuticura Remedies.


"Our baby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afiiict-
ed him for several months. commen-
cling at the top Of his head. and at last
covering his whole body. His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery.
in fact, there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re-
lief. We finally procured a full set Of
the Cutlcura Remedies. and in about
three or four days he began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed. for
the first time in a year. In about
ninety days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been our greatest pleasure.
and there Is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor. for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life. for he
was the most awful sight that ever
beneld, prior to the treatment OF the

CATS IN LEADvILLE
BY NO MEANS a cArLess TOWN
Prevalent False Report in the East
Corrected by LeadviIIe
Newspaper.

An article in recent number OF
Toronto paper under the caption OF
.'LeadviIle, the Catless Town." seems
to convey the impression that our city
is wanting in that common article of
household effects. says the Leadville
Herald-Democrat. As the eastern pc
riodical obtained its information from
a Denver man no great fault perhaps
can be attached to the statement.
1t appears that a New York shoe
house salesman had trouble In obtain
ing his nights rest in a certain hotel
in Denver a short time ago. and regis
tered complaint the next morning
with the CHIEF clerk. "A cat in the al
les across the street kept me awake.
sa.7 the salesman You'll either have
be kept out of that alley tonight or
change my room. l must have sleep
or l cannot work"
The clerk smiled and replied that
it was the first complaint of the kind
he had ever had there, and also that
there was comparatively few cats i'll
Denver, but that il he would live abso-
lutely without any chance of being
Weakened by cats he would have to
move up to Leadville. "Leadville? ?
Why?" asked the commercial man.
Because" replied the clerk. Lead
vile has no cats. They can not live
there Too much altitude, as we say
around here"
The paper then summarizes that
such is the case, and that Leadville
has not, probably a single cat. The
paper further adds that cats have been
many times taken to Leadville, but in
variably succumbed to the effects of
l. L. .-l. IL ~trts 4
that all cats taken to Leadville have
died of a form OF pneumonia, and per
sons living in Leadville will be sur
prised to learn that the above has
passed muster for genuine.
For the information of our erring
salesman and Ananias hotel clerk il
may be stated that the good old domes-
tic animal, the cat. lives and thrives in
the city of Leadville, Notwithstanding
the altitude There is as great a va
riety- of feline in Leadville as in any
other part of the Union. II has never
been stated here that when poor old
pussy takes its departure that its exit
into another sphere has been caused
by pneumonia We have the cream oil
the medical profession here, but they
have never undertaken to diagnose cat
diseases. In addition to our hay-
ing a good quota of cats can also
boast of good supply of the animals
whose company the cat seeks. namely
mice and rats. The former predoml
/ nate while the latter generally known
here as the mountain rat is not so nu-
merous as in the lower attitudes. We
have enough, however, to make their
company disagreeable were 1t not for
the presence of pussy. We have cats
here which would surprise people in
the lower attitudes. Some attain the
age of fifteen years. while some equal
in size the jack rabbit. In fact nearly
every householder has from one tc
three of .his favorite animal. A house
in Leadville would be sadly wanting
in its general entour without the pres
ence Of the cat. Yes, Leadville has
cats.
