a Bad Debt,

Don't talk to me Of natures debt,

I love its blossoms dewy-wet,
l love the skies above it!
I amt a-thinkin' of OF debts
l see the blossoms bloWin'-
No thought of debts my conscience frets,
l hear the COWS a-lowin'!
And I amt thinkin' Of a thing
Except life's sunny weather,
OF thickets where the wild birds sing,
And you and M together!
Old natures debts an honest one,
Perhaps. I'll not ~gainsay it;
But life's so full o love al fun
l amt got time to pay it.
/ amt got time-Lord love you, sweet
Your hand in mine here, honey!
Lies ragtime tuggin' at my feet!
It's funny, honey, funny
How glad l am to hear the cows
Contented far-off loWin',
And walk with you where winds carouse
An blossoms are a-blowin'!
So 1t don worry me at all,
This debt that I'm a-owin',
I'm laughin' back the mock birds call
Where sunlit streams are tiowin'.
An chasin' butterflies all day
Where laughin' winds are shown,
And I amt got no time to pay
I'm %laughin'. Twin, lovin'!

Last spring when I was digging
for a den of young foxes in the old
Mariaville burying ground l came up
on a rotten coffin that had been
wrapped in birch withes for more
than seventy-five years. The ash
boards crumbled at the touch of my
spade. The coffin plate was rusted SO
that | could not make out any name.
But those coiled and twisted limbs of
sapling yellow birch. were still strong
enough to hold a yoke of oxen.
ut seems as if those old chaps who
cleared up farms for us and then i'm
poverished the soil so it could grow
no crops were associated pretty init
mately with withes from the time they
came into the world until they quit
it for good. The hood of the cradle
was made from yellow birch limbs
woven in basket work.
THE first time and every time the
child went wrong he received an ap-
%plication of yellow birch in the place
where yellow birch did most good.
From early manhood to old age withes
were the most useful and the most
needful articles about the farm, and
when death stepped in and wound up
the business a sheaf of birch withes
enwrapped the coffin and held it in
shape until all inside had turned to
dust."-New York Sun.

Bear hugging Is an amusement
which few people, especially young
women, would care to indulge in, and
1t Is seldom that n would have the
chance to embrace a real live Bruin
in his native haunts, even if he-or
she-had the nerve and the inclination
to try it, says the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer. The opportunity, however,
came not long ago to Miss Bessie
Wells, a pretty little Texas lass, who
visited in Seattle recently, and she
startled w. d. Cameron, who happened
to be with her at the time, by giving
a full-grown cinnamon bear in Yellow
stone park a good squeeze around the
neck. The bear, however, much to the
relief of Miss Wells companion, did
not reciprocate the caress, although
he seemed to enjoy it.
Miss Wells Is the 1~5-year-old daugh-
ter of a wealthy cotton dealer of Aus
tin, Tex. She is a beauty of the true
southern type, imbued with the daring
spirit and nerve that so often are
found in the western plains girl, and
is large for her age. Mr.. Cameron,
who came to this city a few days ago,
described Miss Wells daring escapade
as follows:
Our party had stopped for the noon
hour luncheon and while the meal was
being prepared Miss Wells and
started out to pick a few berries. We

ANIMAL TREK OF CARBON

The great autumn trek of the carl
bou is over, says a dispatch from Bay
of Islands, N. F. In the third week OF
November the vanguard Of the deer
was leisurely making its way south,
feeding as it went, its line extending
for some miles in depth.
Whenever a watercouse went even
approximately in the same direction,
numbers of the deer took it's base for
their road. Perhaps this was in con
sequence Of inherited fear Of being
chased by animals following by scent.
Or it is possible that the abundance
Of food supplies in the way of eel
grass and the mos on the submerged
boulders and banks tempted them.
To q sportsman 1t was an impress
sive sight to see these handsome
creatures, many Of them with their
neck markings as white and as perfect
as white cravats could be, all head
ing in the same direction and travel
ing in simple obedience to a primal
law. The fawns were fat and frolic-
some, and were in many instances
fully half as tall as their mothers.
The parents had their horns fully de-
veloped, Of a rich brown at the base,
shaded to a light drab at the tips.
The long loose hoofs clattered nois-
lily whenever the animals moved

Remick, when a farmer or a woods

suppose most of the rail fences used
by the first settlers in Maine we're
held in place with yellow birch withes.
81 have seen them used to bale hay,
and tie up bags of grain, and splice
cart tongues, and keep grindstones
from leaping out of frames, and to tie
out calves while feeding, and to fasten
the names of work horses about the
collars, and to hinge the swinging
part of a threshing fail to the handle,
and to bind loads Of wood and pota-
toes and apples and hay when they
were taken to market.
Fifty years ago a bundle Of withes
was as necessary at a funeral as a
dead body. All collins were made by
the local carpenters then, without
paint or varnish. Such articles as
beckets were unknown.
Instead of having silver mounted
handles, a bundle of stout withes was
twisted about the coffin near the head
and near the foot, and when the bear
ers were ready to proceed they took
a firm hold of the withes and went
along.

about a hundred feet away, we saw q
large cinnamon bear browsing among
the bushes. Knowing that all the an.

tame, we approached the beast. I held
up my hand and the bear, thinking
that l had something for him to eat,

BEAR DIsTuRss QUIET HAMLET.
Seems to Have Settled for Winter In
Maryland VILLAGE.

Maryland Village.
Travellers reaching here from the
vicinity of Pen Mar report the pres
ence in that neighborhood of a giant
bear, which appears to be making an
extended study Of the advantages Of
this place as a popular winter resort.
The animal seems perfectly at home
and is reported as paying regular calls
at poultry houses and pigstys, and
has recently been found on the back
porch of one home drinking the on
tents of a milk crock which had been
set out to secure the benefit Of the
cool mountain air. On this occasion
he was chased off by the lady of the
house with a feather buster, the only
weapon which she possessed at the
time, her husband having taken the
broom out in the woods to sweep up
some persimmons.
The bear was first officially report
ed by the crew of a trolley car of the
electric railway that runs from
Waynesboro to Pen Mar. 1t was a
dark night, and the motorman, as
his car bowled merrily up to the Pen
Mar station, saw a dark object, which
he thought was a waiting passenger,
at the side of the track.

GYPsIEs HoARDED FACE SOAP.
Officers of Vessel Surprised and Glad
Iy Furnish Stuff.


Cleanliness is not a characteristic of
the children of Romany, but this fact
did not enter the minds of the officers
of the Pacific Mail company's steamer
San Jose on the last trip when they
acquiesced to the request for soap
each day, says the San Francisco Call.
1t was not until the steamer reached
the disembarking point that those con-
nected with the vessel learned that
they had fallen victims to the nomads.
The soap which had been given the
individuals each day was carefully
hidden away, and on leaving the
steamer they were burdened with
cakes of soap accumulated during the
trip.
The gypsies, numbering about TWEEN
ty-five, boarded the steamer at Ancon
and travelled to Mazatlan. They were
an u~ncleanly lot, and when they
washed no soap was used. This at
tracted the attention of an officer, and
he handed a bar of soap to them.
AS soon as his back was turned the
piece was secreted. Their avarice
was now aroused, and each day they
would apply for soap. When the
gypsies asked for it it was given with
without a question. The storekeeper
and his superiors were in blissful ig-
noranc Of what was going on, but
when the gypsies were marched off

fifty or eighty of the animals went
by together, the rafting of their feet
gave out a curious sound, unlike any.

of the wind is carefully noted.
More than ever was it made clear
upon this expedition that the caribou
does not rely particularly upon its
eyesight, but places its main depend
ence upon its sense of smell. For
hours the animals sauntered along,
many of them almost within touch,
dozens of them in full sight of their
human observers.
About the head waters Of the Harry
river the caribou appear to herd more
closely than elsewhere, and it was
here that 500 caribou were actually
counted at one time, no notice being
taken of fawns. Many of them had
from thirty to forty points on their

horns, and when several were close

vermlllion In Doubt About Taking
Over Two Plants.

Sentiment seems to be growing at
Vermillion that some move should be
made looking to the purchase of the
watcrworks and electric light plants.
The theory is held by many that with
municipal ownership of both plants,
the city could not only better the
service but would reduce the cost to
patrons. There are others, however,
who question the ACCESSIBILITY Of buy
ing either plant, especially as the city
would have to be bonded heavily to
make the deal. Just at present the
taxpayers of Vermillion are paying
about all they can reasonably stand,
and this may have a great deal to do
with the defeat of bonds should they
be voted on. Practically every cent
of money that goes into the city treas.
ury comes through taxation. Reve.
nue. from other sources will not ex-
coed $500.
For some time the Milwaukee com.
pany has been DESTROYS of %enlarging
its stock yards in Vermillion, but in
order to do this the company was
compelled to bring condemnation pro-
ceedings to secure title to fourteen
lots near the station. At a special
term Of court before Judge E. G..
Smith Of Yankton, the jury decided
that the lots in question were worth
$50 each. Miss Carrie Daily on the
witness stand, testified that the lots
we're worth at least 500 each to her.
She is the principal owner, having
eleven Of the fourteen lots in her
name. However, the Milwaukee com.
pany can have the bunch Of lots at
$50 per lot, as the owners have signi.
fed their intention to accept the jury's
verdict.

Water About, but None to Drink.

Edgar Lewis is employed on a large
stock farm in Newry, Me-, owned by
Walter A. Foster. During a cold spell
last winter the water pipes which sup
piled water for the cattle at the barn
froze. The cattle had to be driven to
the river each day for water.
A rain storm had caused a brook to
flow across the path, SO the cattle had
not been turned out for several days.
Lewis went to his employer and said:
81 am afraid the cattle will choke to
death soon, for I have been unable to
drive them to the river to several days
on account Of the brook"

Foster, what Is the brook made Off"
