In the Williams river country OF
West Virginia the bears are greatly
on the increase, and there Is blue

which has all but been driven out Of

landowners whose farms lie al too

bears is rarely known. as this wisest

How Insurance President Quit smolS-
ing and Invested His First 800.
A few days before his death the late
John A. Mccall. former president of
the New York Life Insurance company.
had n long talk with his son, John c.
Mccall. and told many incidents Of his
career, says the New York Times.
John" he said to his son, II have
done many things in my life for which
l am sorry, but I've never done any
thing of which feel ashamed.
"AIy counsel to young men who
would succeed is that they should take
the world as they find it and then
work-worko'
Mr.. Mccall thought the guiding force
of mankind was will power, and in H.
lustration he said:
"Some time ago. John, your mother
and I were sitting together chatting. l
was smoking cigar. I liked cigar
and enjoyed n good, quiet smoke. She
objected to 1t.
John said she, why don't you
throw that cigar away?
81 did so.
"John,' she added, 4 hope you'll new
er smoke again
".The cigar I threw away was my
last l determined to quit then and
there and did so. That was exactly
thirty-five years ago.
Mr.. Mccall, who had salary of
100000 n year as the president of the
New York Life Insurance company,
made his first business venture with
cash capital of 500, which he invested
in a grand stand and fence for Il base
ball grounds in Albany. n. Y. and
when it was found out that the acute
future man Of big affairs had arranged
to charge admission to the grounds that
formerly had been open to the wide.
wide world there was n kick on the
part of the populace that had been
used to seeing ball games on those
grounds free, says the New York Even
ing World. 'It looked very squally
for awhile, and wondered what was
to become Of my hundred" said he In
referring to it. 1.-The boys threatened
to kick the fence down, and l had
hard job Of diplomacy to get them to
see the thing the way did. l pre-
vailed on them after awhile to allow 1t
to stand, and that hundred got me n
deep insight of the opportunities to
make money II you have money. and
from that day on I always managed to
have enough capital to take advantage
Of any opportunity that might arise for
the earning of money by money, and
every boy or young man ought to al
ways have little laid by for opportu-
mites"

ONE BELL AGAINST MANY.
Cleveland Mans Effort to Make More
Noise Than q Convent,


A battle of bells is being waged be-
tween the Convent OF the Good Sbep-
herd in Cleveland, O., and John Griese,
whose domicile Is in the immediate
neighborhOod of the big convent, says
the Cleveland Leader.
John has n ten inch bell which hangs
in his back yard. The convent has
dozen bells perched high in the loft
tower of the great convent. Some of
these weigh n ton and half and send
their reverberations three or four
miles. All are attuned according to
the laws of melody and nre designed
to call the devout to their devotions.
Grlese's bell, however, has no such
sacred function. Its purpose seems to
be to make n noise without rhyme or
music. And 1t has fulfilled Its func-
ton, so the police declare. On the COM
plant of a neighbor Griese was taken
into custody on u recent Sunday on the
charge of disorderly conduct, or, In the
words of the affidavit, "of ringing Il
certain bell without lawful purpose"
When arraigned in the police court
GrIese obtained continuance of the
BY that time his attorney. Judge A. w.
Lamson, will be In readiness to present
defence and will attempt to show
that his client has as much right to
ring his own bell rs the people within
the convent to ring theirs.
When seen at his home Griese was
proud of his bell and was quite willing
to explain his side Of the case. Point
Ing toward the high wall which sur
rounds his home on three sides Griese
said:
1.-The bells on the other side Of that
wall are many. There Is one up in the
tower there that weighs ton and
half. And they range from that one
down to electric bells. Those bells
ring Mt o'clock in the morning and
sometimes at midnight. The big bell Is
rung thirteen times n day. have
known the smaller bells to ring forty
three times on holiday. Now. why
can't ring my bell when feel like It?
Besides, there Is steam whistle over
that wall, and 1t blows at certain times.
II I had the money I would buy a,
steam calliope, for enjoy noisc'
Griese's bell Is about the size Of To-
comotive bell. 1t is hung IN she'd
Griese explained that this plan wns
found necessary to protect the bell, for
the reason that several attempts have
been made to steal it. Griese has line
attached to the bell which runs to the
headboard of his bed. He is thus able
to ring the bell whenever he is awak.

Yet nothing is suffering except perhaps

Pleasant days are promised again
