Thirty years ago, in company with an old and experienced frontiersman, I was shooting deer, elk and bear and selling the meat to a gang of tie cutters in tho Rocky mountains Cougars were more abundant than I ever saw them else- where; yet it was perfectly safe to roam the woods at will. Rolled in my blankets, l have passed many night under the sheltering branches of some big tree with out even a fire to scare these animals away.
 I was never attacked by one unless it was cornered. or perhaps so badly wound ed as to be unable to get away Under these conditions nearly any animal will fight
 The cougar, when followed by the hunt CT on foot, will often double on its trail, make a long loop and hide until its pul- suer passes. and then perhaps take tho back track for miles. After a long chaso the man with the gun comes along still hanging to the trai and discovers where the animal lay and watched nim 20 by possibly upon some overhanging rock from which, had it been so disposed, it might have bounced upon its enemy and torn him to shreds, or perhaps behind log under which it had scratched pocphoie. the haunts of these animals who have never seen q cougar except in a trap. All the large cats are afraid of nlankind and retire quietly at the approach of their enemy.

SCHWABCHER IS TO MOVE

Bessemer, December 1.-(Special. .)-South Highlands, not of Birmingham, but of the thriving little Marvel City, is coming to be one of the most beautiful residence sections in the whole district. The place Is comparatively new. Where now one looks up the main thoroughfare to see well paved road dip up and down for blocks and blocks and then finally disap- pear over the crest of Red Mountain, the comparison to the time only a few years ago when it was covered by dense tim Der land is quite marked.
 This part of the town does not pride itself in being the society section," but is occupied by citizens who take pride in Bessemer and have erected some ex- ceptonally fine residences. The accom- paning picture, that of the recently com pleted residence of Mr. H. W. Sweet, on Arlington avenue and Ninteenth street, is the center of some of the most attractive homes. large sum was spent on the building, making it model both on the exterior and interior.
 But the town is full of just such struc- lures. With the growth and prosperity of the business, manufacturing and mer- cantile interest in the beautiful and the beautiful and artistic is keeping full pace.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Prohibition is drawing near it's tooth an- niversary The centennial of the move ment will be on April 30, 1908, and the leaders of the party are looking back over the accomplishments of the past century with much satisfaction. Charles R. Jones, chairman of the, Prohibition National committee, discussed the evolu- ton of the party in address delivered last Sunday. He said:
 "One hundred years ago. when James Billy Clark of Saratoga county, N. Y.. instituted with forty-three charter mem bers. the Union Temperance Society of Moreau and Northumberland, he little knew what the century agitation, edu- cation, and organization which there be- gan would mean to his native land. The story of this century of endeavor against the most dangerous and powerful single enemy of mankind--the alcoholic drink cures--is a record of preserving scientific research, Christian herosm, practical statesmanship. and loyalty to principle without precedent or parallel in history"

BLUEHIIL.
OBITUARY.

Mrs. Spencer Treworgy, whose death on
week, was the oldest woman in Bluehill.
Had she lived she would have been nine
ty-five years old April 5, 1905. She and
her husband were born in the same house
on Newbury Neck, South Surry; her hus-
band in 1905, Mrs. Treworgy in 1911.
Forty-one years ago Capt. Spencer
Treworgy, who sailed between New York
and Liverpool, died. He was a brave, in
telligent, able shipmsster, who by his in
tegrity and perseverance easily gained the
esteem and confidence OF business men.
By reason OF ill health, after many years
spent upon the sea, he came to Bluehili,
where he was highly respected and hon
ored by all who knew him.
Mrs. Treworgy had been member of
the Baptist church seventy-eight years.
She was indeed a smother in Israeli, hold
ing the highest respect and love of kim
dred, neighbors and friends. She had a
superior mind. was fond of good books,
was devout and spiritual in her nature,
and enjoyed heart and soul communion
with God. The guiding star of her life
was her genuine Christian faith; while her
useful life will linger in memory as the
fragrance of crushed flowers years after
they have lived and bloomed.
With increasing years there came a
growing consciousness Of the divine pres
ence with Joy and peace; and in this
deeper experience of divine grace forms
and ceremonies seemed to her of little sig
nificance. She felt as did the great apes
tie, that she would glory only in the cross;
that Christ in the soul was the zone thing
| needful", and of infinite Importance.
She was very generous woman; kind
to the needy, a friend OF the unfortunate,
a liberal supporter of the church, giving
money freely for Christian institutions.
Rev. Mr.. Bean, of the Congregational
church, in his helpful and sympathetic
way, conducted the funeral services in the
home in which she had lived fifty-eight
years. The quartette from the Congrega-
tional church rendered very effectively
three of her fsvorite hymns. She had
bsen cared for by her only daughter in her
last days. -k
| Aged as she was, she will be greatly
| missed by her daughter and her husband,
Rev. Mr.. HARDWOOD, who gave up work to
be with her in these last years. She died
as she had lived in the happy faith of the
| Christians God.
blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord"
| Heaven is made richer by the addition
of so pure and noble a spirit, while to her
| famils, 10 the church, and all who knew
her, she leaves the precious legacy of a
we'll spent Christian life.
